MEGAPROJECTS AND RISK
Ouvrage 9780521009461 : MEGAPROJECTS AND RISK
Megaprojects and Risk provides the first detailed examination of the
phenomenon of megaprojects. It is a fascinating account of how the
promoters of multi-billion dollar megaprojects systematically and
self-servingly misinform parliaments, the public and the media in order
to get projects approved and built. It shows, in unusual depth, how the
formula for approval is an unhealthy cocktail of underestimated costs,
overestimated revenues, undervalued environmental impacts and overvalued
economic development effects. This results in projects that are
extremely risky, but where the risk is concealed from MPs, taxpayers and
investors. The authors not only explore the problems but also suggest
practical solutions drawing on theory, experience and hard, scientific
evidence from the several hundred projects in twenty nations and five
continents that illustrate the book. Accessibly written, it will be the
standard reference for students, scholars, planners, economists,
auditors, politicians and interested citizens for many years to come.
