Rapid urban development and national master planning in Arab Gulf countries. Qatar as a case study

In this article we review past and current master planning efforts in Qatar, highlighting the country’s inability to manage rapid urban development. We will argue that the failure to implement sound urban planning in Qatar – and by extension, in the rest of the Arab Gulf Region – is the result of a detachment between the master planning phase – usually sub-contracted to external consultants that are insensitive to Gulf dynamics – and the implementation phase – usually carried out by incapable and redundant local government agencies – all in absence of a serious discussion of ongoing mega-projects.     

纽约大都市地区轨道交通介绍

Regional rail service has played an integral role in the development of the New York metropolitan area over the past century. The multiplicity of jurisdictions and agencies make planning for future growth very complex, and funding shortfalls force implementation timetables to extend far into the future. However, by focusing on high-priority ＂mega-projects＂ that tie critical elements of the region＇ s transport networks and economic centers together and by utilizing a strategy of ＂Transit-Oriented Developments＂ in suburban growth areas, urban planners and policy makers can leverage existing infrastructure and maximize the economic viability of rail transit and land investments by both public and private sectors.     

Images of Power: Architectures of the Integrated Spectacle at the Beijing Olympics

Arguing for the continued relevance of the spectacle as a powerful conceptual tool for analyzing structures of power and revealing how they co-opt the material landscape to build, consolidate, and reproduce their hegemony, this article uses the theory of the spectacle as a lens to interpret the proliferation of architectural mega-projects in the contemporary landscape. Using the case of Olympic Beijing, the author revisits the notion of the spectacle as a technique of governance, and demonstrates the way in which, in the context of post-socialist China, the state and the market coexist in the form of the spectacle as a way of regulating society. By examining some of the issues at stake in the current spectacularization of the built environment, the article suggests that the spectacle, especially in the context of global mega-events, can also have a productive side and exert pressure upon the producers of the spectacle to open up to the public and allow room for diverse forms of resistance, contestation and change.     

Applicability of 4D modeling for resource allocation in mega liquefied natural gas plant construction

Four-dimensional (4D) modeling has gained much potential in improving construction process design and planning. The integration of three-dimensional model with scheduling information has been shown to enable the effective detection of construction process design and planning flaws. However, the research work in 4D has been predominantly focused on the building construction industry. 4D has been rarely explored in the oil and gas industry, particularly Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant construction. It is very difficult to conceive the scale and complexity of mega-projects in the LNG sector. This paper presents a study with the goal of investigating the feasibility and benefits of 4D in supporting LNG construction projects. 4D models were developed at both the activity level and the operations level, and geometry-based virtual construction was implemented to rehearse the construction process for the purpose of identifying potential risks and safety issues. These models were used for synergistic planning for the whole project and for resource scheduling. It has been demonstrated in this paper, mega LNG construction projects can benefit from 4D in terms of improved process planning and control.

Place Making in Shanghai Hongqiao Business District: An Institutional Capacity Perspective

The pro-growth, state-led institutional setting in China makes it easy to build infrastructure and physical space. Nevertheless despite the aspiration to create the qualities often associated with place making, many urban developments around new High-Speed Railway hubs lack essential urban qualities. This paper uses the idea of institutional capacity to explore the conditions that, in the Chinese context, might contribute to place making. The Hongqiao Business District, developed around a new transportation hub in western Shanghai indicates that the involvement of a varied set of actors that is not only guided by hierarchical relationships has several consequences for place making. It allows for value capturing to support unprofitable components of development plans such as public space. Furthermore, it turns actors on the district and street-offices level into constructive stakeholders of urban mega-projects and creates awareness of the importance of open knowledge management (transparency of information openness, use of local knowledge, etc.). While the Hongqiao conditions might not be copied straightforward to other Chinese cases, they could provide a source of inspiration for other projects that strive for urban quality.     

Economic development and construction productivity in Malaysia

The productivity of the construction industry has a significant effect on national economic growth. Gains from higher construction productivity flow through the economy, as all industries rely on construction to some extent as part of their business investment. Contractions and expansions of economic activity are common phenomena in an economy. Three construction cycles occurred between the years 1970 and 2011 in Malaysia. The relationships between construction productivity and economic development are examined by the partial correlation method to establish the underlying factors driving the change in construction productivity. Construction productivity is statistically significantly correlated with gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in a positive direction for the 1985–98 and 1998–2009 cycles, but not the 1970–85 cycle. Fluctuations in construction activities and the influx of foreign workers underlie the changes of construction productivity in the 1985–98 cycle. There was less fluctuation in construction activities in the 1998–2009 cycle, with changes being mainly due to the fiscal stimulation policies of the government in attempting to stabilize the economy. The intensive construction of mega-projects resulted in resource constraints and cost pressures during the 1980s and 1990s. A better management of the ‘boom-bust’ nature of the construction business cycle is required to maintain the capability and capacity of the industry.     

The Continuing Revolution

Abstract

Arguing for the continued relevance of the spectacle as a powerful conceptual tool for analyzing structures of power and revealing how they co-opt the material landscape to build, consolidate, and reproduce their hegemony, this article uses the theory of the spectacle as a lens to interpret the proliferation of architectural mega-projects in the contemporary landscape. Using the case of Olympic Beijing, the author revisits the notion of the spectacle as a technique of governance, and demonstrates the way in which, in the context of post-socialist China, the state and the market coexist in the form of the spectacle as a way of regulating society. By examining some of the issues at stake in the current spectacularization of the built environment, the article suggests that the spectacle, especially in the context of global mega-events, can also have a productive side and exert pressure upon the producers of the spectacle to open up to the public and allow room for diverse forms of resistance, contestation and change.     

Maximizing strategic value from megaprojects: The influence of information-feed on decision-making by the project manager

Large projects are notorious for erosion of value during execution. Decisions made by project managers have a significant impact on the strategic value of the asset delivered, and those decisions depend on the information feed on which they are based. This study uses theories of organizational behavior, decision-making and program management to investigate the impact of information feed used by project managers on the strategic value delivered by mega projects in the oil and gas industry. A global survey of 69 managers of mega-projects was conducted. Results showed that information feed to project managers significantly influences the strategic value created by megaprojects. Also some moderating effects of contextual factors on this relationship were found. The contextual factors that influenced project manager decision-making relate to what they perceived to be Senior Management drivers for their projects. However the hypothesized moderating influence of project manager experience on decision-making was not found—an interesting observation. It was found that the extent to which project managers feel in control should influence the scope and quality of information-feed that should be sought. Four risk areas were observed as significant to long-term value creation from megaprojects: government relations; host community relations; contract management and procurement; and the influence of multi-location execution.
