Building Economics

Abstract

In the final chapter we examine the impact of both public and private investment and of government action generally on the construction industry, together with the structure of the industry and the relationship of its output to demand and available resources. The economic aspects of urban renewal and of new town and town development schemes are examined. Consideration is given to the philosophy and nature of cost benefit analysis and its application to a variety of environmental problems.
