Emerging Trends in Construction, Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Project Management

Emerging Trends in Construction, Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Project Management is a compilation of various research papers dealing with current issues and advances in the domains of construction management, urban planning, transportation, sustainability, and structural engineering presented at the Conference on Construction, Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Project Management (ICCRIP 2025) in Pune, India on 22nd and 23rd August 2025.

The book provides an excellent insight into the changing dynamics of infrastructure development, whether on a national or international level. Themes covered by the volume range from migration patterns of Indian construction workers in international environments to effects of town planning on real estate development, and from current patterns of green transportation behaviour to infrastructure problems. Among infrastructure-related topics are road maintenance under HDM-4 methodology, sustainable urban transportation, and the use of EoT (Extension of Time) claims to reduce project delays. There are also sections covering high-tech tools, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for blast load assessment and artificial intelligence algorithms to predict earthquake damage. Further themes covered by the volume include supply chain management, Theory of Constraints to optimize metro project performance, earthquake risk assessments, and the use of geotextiles to strengthen infrastructure networks.

The volume is a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and professionals in the domain of civil engineering, urban planning, and construction management. The book will also serve well to graduate students and professionals who are looking for information on sustainable development and infrastructure.
