Description: Contemporary MegaprojectsOrganization, Vision, and Resistance in the 21st Century Author(s): Seth Schindler, Simin Fadaee, Dan Brockington Format: Paperback Publisher: Berghahn Books, United Kingdom Imprint: Berghahn Books ISBN-13: 9781800731523, 978-1800731523 Synopsis Contemporary megaprojects have evolved from the discreet, modernist projects undertaken in the past by centralized authorities to encompass everything from large-scale construction to space exploration. Contemporary Megaprojects explores how these projects have been impacted by cutting-edge technology, the private sector, and the processes of decentralization and dematerialization. With case studies ranging from mega-plantations in Southeast Asia to ocean mapping to sports events, the contributions in this collected volume demonstrate the increasing ambition and pervasiveness of these projects, as well as their significant impact on both society and the environment.
