Women in Infrastructure by Peggy Layne,Jill S. Tietjen Pdf

The status of America’s infrastructure is graded every four years by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and reports are provided on the various categories. In this book, prominent women engineers discuss many of the eighteen infrastructure categories from the 2021 ASCE Infrastructure Report Card providing background, analysis of the issues facing the category and projections for the future. Categories covered include aviation, bridges, dams, water and wastewater, energy, hazardous waste, inland waterways, levees, ports, public parks, rail, roads, solid waste, and transit. Case studies from the authors’ work are included throughout. These topics touch on many of the challenges facing the world today and these solutions by women researchers and practitioners are valuable for their technical excellence and their non-traditional perspective. As an important part of the Women in Engineering and Science book series, the work highlights the contribution of women leaders in many of the infrastructure categories, inspiring women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure our future infrastructure.

Balancing the Burden? by Asian Development Bank Pdf

This desk review explores the links between infrastructure development and women's time poverty in Asia and the Pacific by drawing on time-use data and reviewing existing research and evidence from impact evaluations. Three questions are asked: (i) What contribution does infrastructure make in reducing women's time poverty, and how is this being recorded? (ii) Are women's time savings resulting from increased access to infrastructure used for productive work that also reduces consumption poverty? (iii) Can infrastructure projects more effectively reduce both time and consumption poverty for women?

Enhancing Gender Equality in Infrastructure Development by Asian Development Bank Pdf

Underlining why gender equality is a core component of sustainable infrastructure design, this report considers four key ADB investment sectors in Asia and the Pacific and sets out ways to evaluate gender-enhanced project outcomes. The report outlines theories of change and indicators designed to enable gender-inclusive infrastructure investment in urban development, transport, energy, and water, sanitation, and hygiene. Designed to serve as a point of reference, it shows how better including the needs of women, increasing their role in decision-making, and raising stakeholder understanding can help deliver projects that work for everyone.

Infrastructure Financing in India by Kumar V Pratap Pdf

Governments the world over want to spend more on infrastructure (the benchmark for developing countries is 7-8% of GDP per annum) to lay the foundation for sustained and inclusive growth. India is no exception. It realizes that more needs to be spent on infrastructure for the country to regain its position as the fastest growing large economy in the world. While India spent about 7.2% of its GDP on infrastructure during the Eleventh Plan period (2008-12), this number has recently come down to approximately 5%. The backdrop of the book is the ambitious National Infrastructure Plan (NIP); the Task Force report on the NIP was finalized in April 2020. Since infrastructure investment is crucial to faster and inclusive growth, it is timely that the NIP is actioned now, given that the Indian economy contracted to 7.3% in the financial year 2020-21. This book discusses various aspects of infrastructure financing in detail, with a major section devoted to green financing of infrastructure.

The Routledge Handbook of Infrastructure Design by Joseph Heathcott Pdf

The Routledge Handbook of Infrastructure Design explores the multifaceted nature of infrastructure through the global lens of architectural history. Infrastructure holds the world together. Yet even as it connects some people, it divides others, sorting access and connectivity through varied social categories such as class, race, gender, and citizenship. This collection examines themes across broad spans of time, raises questions of linkage and scale, investigates infrastructure as phenomenon and affect, and traces the interrelation of aesthetics, technology, and power. With a diverse range of contributions from 33 scholars, this volume presents new research from regions including South and East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, South America, North America, Western Europe, the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union. This extraordinary group of authors bring close attention to the materials, functions, and aesthetics of infrastructure systems as these unfold within their cultural and political contexts. They provide not only new knowledge of specific artifacts, such as the Valens Aqueduct, the Hong Kong waterfront, and the Pan-American Highway, but also new ways of conceptualizing, studying, and understanding infrastructure as a worlding process. The Routledge Handbook of Infrastructure Design provides richly textured, thoroughly evidenced, and imaginatively drawn arguments that deepen our understanding of the role of infrastructure in creating the world in which we live. It is a must-read for academics and students.

Infrastructure Mandates for Change, 1994-1999 by Meshack M. Khosa Pdf

This book, Infrastructure Mandates for Change 1994-1999, as does its accompanying volume, Empowerment through Service Delivery, appraises infrastructure policy since 1994. Whereas Empowerment through Service Delivery analyses selected case studies on infrastructure and service delivery, this book focuses on the transformation of infrastructure in South Africa since 1994, particularly those relating to water, health, land, electricity, housing and transport. "Meshack Khosa has brought together the key figures working on empowerment and service delivery and this book, in its scope, sophistication and rigor, represents one of the most important contributions to the debates over the achievements of and challenges confronting the 'new' South Africa. A book which deserves to be read widely in and outside of academia"
