TOWARD MEGA PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Professor Ranko Bon from The University of Reading argues that mega cities of the future will face a series of problems: pollution, water scarcity, severe transportation congestion, and poverty.  These problems will require new approaches to analysing, planning, and managing projects of great complexity.  These problems, which will be manifested at the regional and urban levels, are characterized by high degrees of interconnection and complexity.

What is PeBBu

CIB has initiated and commissioned various international programmes and R&D projects related to Performance Based Building. Based on the achievements from those projects CIB proposed in 2000 the establishment of the Thematic Network PeBBu - Performance Based Building. This Network is to elaborate on the activities carried out by CIB, its commissions and its members since it adopted Performance Based Building as a Priority Theme in the CIB Pro-Active Approach in 1998.
