Roads and Resources: Appropriate Technology in Road Construction in Developing Countries
The major premise of this book is that labor intensive methods of road construction are efficient and cost effective if there is a committment to the construction of the road on the part of the laborers, whether it comes from their being paid or their seeing the benefits to them of the completion of the project. The book covers appropriate road construction technology and the institutional framework, road construction and resource use, planning and administration of labor-based road construction programs, equipment for labor-based road construction, and the private construction sector and appropriate technology. Four case studies are included.
