(2009)BookThere has been a greater concern globally as to how to minimise construction accidents and their consequences on construction workers, contractors, clients, design and project management consultants, and insurance companies. This book introduces new strategies and models that will facilitate readers in the construction and insurance industries in revamping their existing practices towards minimising accidents, improving profitability, and alleviating liabilities. This is a research-based book and chapters in the book are grounded on recent research and best practices. They demonstrate how innovative insurance and construction companies can exploit contemporary research to drive the re-structuring of poor practices that compromise their business sustainability. With diverse audiences in mind, the chapters are written in clear and easy-to-follow styles. The CD enclosed with the book contains the prototype of the KBS that the book discusses. Readers will appreciate this useful appendix of the book that underpins the practical implementation of new theories.

(2004)BookIn less than a generation, metropolitan Sydney has been transformed in almost every conceivable way. Its economic base has shifted to new growth sectors; its population has swollen and become vastly more diverse; and housing choices, for those who can afford them, have expanded. And as Sydney edges up the hierarchy of global cities, questions of environmental sustainability, social justice, governance, urban design, and the overall quality of life engage daily conversation, attract increasing media coverage, and demand appropriate public policy responses. Talking about Sydney dips into this whirlpool to focus on three critical and interrelated issues: • population growth and change • community development • creative industries. The book brings together stakeholders from across the spectrum – leading public intellectuals, commentators, practitioners and academics – in a lively exchange of views. All contributors share an interest in understanding Sydney and making it a better place to live and work.
