THE CHAINMAKER: How Intermediaries Sustain Urban Policy Initiatives over Time

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 785-800, July 2026.
Abstract Practitioners implementing urban climate initiatives are frequently faced with the intermittent nature of urban projects and the short‐termism of policy experiments. In this conjuncture, understanding how urban transformations are advanced necessitates grasping how small‐scale efforts are carried forward or sustained despite these brief time ...

Development of Delay and Disruption Cause Monitoring Framework for Megaprojects: A Claim Management Approach from the Contractor’s Perspective to Enhance Sustainability in the Built Environment

Sustainability
Delays and disruptions (D&D) are considered chronic peculiarities of the construction phase of the built environment, especially in megaprojects. Systematic monitoring of claimable D&D causes becomes crucial for the contractors to compensate for their ...
