Urban renewals in an area or district consist of multiple facilities construction projects, and thus, should be managed as a program. Successful program management is enabled by seamless information of subprojects during its whole lifecycle. In the aspect of data management, program is differentiated with project by its own management structure. Specified architectural design data of individual...

Complexity is considered one of the hallmarks megaproject failure; however, no common definition complexity in context exists contemporary literature; particularly developing countries. The present study explores definitions, characteristics, and strategy to respond megaprojects An exploration normative theories a systematic literature review were performed investigate concept complexity.

The complexity these structures brings out governability issues for an MP’s management.

It encompasses three routes distributed in the east, central, west of China, respectively. central route (CR) SNWDP starts from Danjiangkou Reservoir ends Beijing Tianjin, running through Hubei, Henan, Hebei Provi...

This paper proposes the use of Phronesis as an alternate research paradigm to inform the design of information systems that can enhance the transparency and accountability of megaprojects. We illustrate the proposed approach in the context of the Nicaragua Canal Project, a contemporary Mega-Project for which the research questions addressed by the three Aristotean intellectual virtues: episteme...

Megaprojects combine multiple external stakeholders, and a common narrative is essential to drive the project among often conflicting objectives. Narratives help organize people toward an agenda therefore have performative strategic implications. In this research, we explore how narratives are mobilized through instruments processes using case study of High Speed Two (HS2) megaproject in United...

With further emancipation of once subdued or marginalized stakeholders, a growing number megaprojects face increasingly significant social resistance. Asymmetries support for the projects emerge, rooted in different perceptions legitimacy across stakeholder groups. In this paper, we ask how these diverging develop stakeholders cross-border megaprojects. We conduct multi-site ethnography at one ...
