Røsok, O.P. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Veeneman, Wijnand (author)The interdependencies between infrastructures are growing. Engineering decision making that earlier was largely confined to a specific sector now requires more and more understanding of how systems interact: a system-of-systems perspective. The article analyzes the effect of that added complexity in a single case study in de Zuid-As, Amsterdam,...journal article 2023

Ninan, Johan (author), Clegg, Stewart (author), Burdon, Steve (author), Clay, John (author)Infrastructure megaprojects are increasing in size and number worldwide. Widespread shortcomings such as cost overruns, delays, litigious threats, and community opposition are now so pervasive there is a clear mandate to rethink the way we plan, deliver, and operate our infrastructure. In this context, we situate this research to understand how...journal article 2023
