Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the idea of “just technology” by rephrasing the idea of “just war” in order to include concepts of sustainability in future engineering design. It begins by defining justice and relating these definitions to technology. To address the complexity of today's global challenges requires new ways of thinking. The idea that technology is always the best, maybe only, approach worth taking needs to be reconsidered. Sustainable approaches must also draw from non-technological areas. The book continues by illustrating several notions of sustainability and the awareness that needs to be focused on societal challenges due to the finite resources available in the natural world. Four questions are enumerated to be addressed in order to qualify as a just use of technology: (1) Is the harm being inflicted by the problem on the community, the environment, or humanity, in general lasting, serious, and certain? (2) Have all alternative solutions been investigated first, including non-technology-based solutions? Technology is the last choice, not the first! (3) Do we have confidence in the successful implementation of this technological solution? and (4) Is the potential harm from the technological solution potentially worse than the issue being addressed? Have all unintended consequences been considered that could arise from the technological solution? The book ends with a description for implementing these questions into the traditional engineering design process. Examples are included for reflection and help to understand how the design process proceeds.

Book excerpt: Infrastructure development presents significant challenges for both developing and developed countries, hindering their progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Governments often struggle to effectively leverage the necessary resources and expertise for financing and managing infrastructure projects, resulting in untapped potential for sustainable and inclusive development. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals Through Infrastructure Development, edited by Cristina Raluca Gh. Popescu, Poshan Yu, and Yue Wei, offers a comprehensive guide to address these challenges. Focusing on public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a transformative solution, the book equips policymakers, investors, practitioners, and researchers with the essential knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of infrastructure development and leverage the expertise and resources of the private sector. By showcasing successful case studies, analyzing critical success factors, and providing valuable insights into the implementation of PPPs in both developing and developed countries, this book becomes an indispensable resource for driving progress towards the SDGs. Covering crucial topics such as financing, risk management, legal frameworks, and sustainability considerations, it empowers readers to make informed decisions and foster collaborative partnerships between the public and private sectors. Through its comprehensive roadmap, this book enables stakeholders to unlock the full potential of sustainable and inclusive infrastructure development, paving the way for a prosperous future for all.
