Human issues affecting construction in developing countries
The inhibiting effect of underdevelopment of human resources on construction in developing countries is examined and the need for education, training and research emphasized. Developed-world involvement and its often adverse effects, social and otherwise, are discussed, the provision of shelter being given as one major example. The fact that most large-scale infrastructural work is undertaken through arrangements with developed-world organizations is given prominence, the inappropriate nature of many contract procedures being emphasized. The importance and extent of informal construction is also highlighted.
