In this unique and comprehensive textbook, the authors examine the challenges faced all around the world with regard to major infrastructure project management, and they champion a fresh approach that takes into account the interdependencies between economic, social, political, technological and legislative environments. Managing, developing and investing in crucial infrastructure is essential to keep up with the challenges of a fast-paced and globalised world, but affecting  and overseeing change requires a deep understanding of complex interlocking systems. To this end the book is neatly divided into three key parts: project appraisal, maximising integrated supply chains, and implementing value-enhancing practicesThis is the ideal companion for courses on any aspect of civil engineering and construction project management including modules in infrastructure planning, infrastructure management, construction management and business management. The book will also appeal to practitioners involved in the management of capital and infrastructure projects.

Edward Ochieng: PhD, PGCertHELT, MSc, BSc (Hons), FHEA is a Senior Lecturer in Programme and Project Management at Cranfield University, United Kingdom. Edward has a PhD from Loughborough University. Edward’s research is focused on heavy engineering project management. He has extensive experience and knowledge relating to organisational challenges and solution development for managing large capital and heavy engineering projects. His research interest with people and organisational challenges continues, but has now been complemented by the need for wider understanding of infrastructure systems, project productivity, project value creation, operational effectiveness, capital effectiveness, science-based project management, energy and economy and corporate social responsibility in projects. Andrew Price: DSc, PhD, BSc (Civil Eng), FCIOB, FICE, CEng is a Professor of Project Management at Loughborough University, United Kingdom. Andrew has over 30 years’ design, construction and industry-focused research experience including several large collaborative research projects and centres. Andrew has contributed to the development and leadership of five major research centres/consortia (HaCIRIC, IMCRC, CICE, ECI and the Sustainable Urban Environments: Models Metric and Tools Consortium (SUE MoT)). Andrew has been PI/Co-I on 44 collaborative research projects worth over £13.1 million, including HaCIRIC’s research projects that impacted on the provision of timely and effective unscheduled care through three main strands: unscheduled care as a complex system (two projects on stroke care innovation); ED Design (two projects: Open planning for operationally ready acute healthcare infrastructure; and Activity-Acuity-Adaptability-Flow in EDs); and resilience of healthcare infrastructure. David Moore: PhD, BSc (Hons), Dip LT, MCIOB: is a Reader in Project Management at Robert Gordon University, United Kingdom. David has been involved in funded research examining the behaviours of superior performing project managers, and which was rated as tending to international significance by ESPRC. His research activity covers areas ranging from buildability, through sustainable design and the use of solar technologies, to perception and cognition in a construction industry context.
