Decision makers involved in brownfields redevelopment and long-term stewardship must consider environmental conditions, future-use potential, site ownership, area infrastructure, funding resources, cost recovery, regulations, risk and liability management, community relations, and expected return on investment in a comprehensive and integrated fashion to achieve desired results. Successful brow...

It must have been a very long time since man first discovered that buildings too rise and fall. A forest is planted, harvested, and replanted; a machine built, used and dismantled; and likewise, a site is constructed, occupied, and reconstructed... Perhaps the first systematic analysis of building life cycles was on costs. Surveyors and building economists in the UK first wrote on life cycle co...

Complex project networks confront actors, with value pluralism originating from a plethora of competing organizational and institutional systems related to the environment. Using single urban redevelopment case study, we present dynamic understanding emergence nature conflicts in different conflict arenas collaborative networks. We identify seven coping patterns reduce engage this complexity pr...

Many real-world problems modeled by stochastic games have huge state and/or action spaces, leading to the well-known curse of dimensionality. The complexity of the analysis of large-scale systems is dramatically reduced by exploiting mean field limit and dynamical system viewpoints. Under regularity assumptions and specific time-scaling techniques, the evolution of the mean field limit can be e...
