Built Environment Epistemologies: Crafting Sustainable Knowledge in the GenAI Era
The SURE-Built 2026 Global Conference on Sustainable Built Environment Research examines the relationship between traditional knowledge systems, emerging technologies and sustainable development in the…
Facilitating Inclusivity in Multi-, Inter-, and Transdisciplinary Sustainable Built Environment Research in Emerging Economies
The 1st Global Forum for Sustainable Built Environment Research was a global academic platform dedicated to advancing sustainable development within the built environment, delivered…
Water supply is critical to urban governance and the achievement of SDG 6 and 11. In Maiduguri, rapid urbanisation, weak infrastructures and uneven water distribution have created significant disparities in access despite efforts, particularly…
Transport management is a pivotal, unevenly developed capability in Ghana's gold mining supply chains. Grounded in the Resource-Based View and Contingency Theory, this study evaluated how transport systems affect operational performance, equipment reliability, and…
Road infrastructure has suffered from several problems of deterioration, cracking, and expensive maintenance. Rigid (concrete) and flexible (asphalt) pavements are susceptible to minor cracks under gradual loading and environmental stress, resulting in costly repairs…
Africa Zamageda.Zungu@wits.ac.za Post project evaluation is promoted as a mechanism for accountability, learning, and performance improvement in infrastructure delivery. However, limited empirical evidence explains how such evaluation is institutionalized in South African water and…
Urban arterial roads in low- and middle-income countries combine high traffic mobility with intense pedestrian activity, yet conventional safety assessments often aggregate crashes over long sections and may conceal localized risk. This study applies…
Existing subsidy allocation approaches for emission reduction from non-road construction equipment (NRCE) primarily prioritize projects based on criteria such as cost-effectiveness and emission reduction potential. However, these approaches generally overlook contractors' baseline probability of…
Ghana is experiencing rapid urban expansion, placing increasing pressure on urban green space (UGS) and urban green infrastructure (UGI). Despite recognition of their ecosystem service benefits, integration into statutory land use planning and governance…
The accelerating generation of waste tires, exceeding one billion end-of-life tires annually worldwide, poses critical environmental and public health challenges. This study investigates the performance of crumb rubber (CR) derived from waste tires as…
Road infrastructure systems are increasingly exposed to climate stressors such as flooding, extreme rainfall, erosion, heatwaves and slope instability, creating growing challenges for infrastructure reliability, connectivity and lifecycle sustainability. Existing resilience approaches have predominantly…
Nigeria osobenedict@gmail.com Infrastructure projects in Nigeria, particularly in selected South-South States, are frequently plagued by relational risks that compromise project success. This study appraises relational risk factors in public infrastructure projects. It identified relational…
