Urban Alchemy delves into the pressing challenges and unique opportunities facing developing countries in their quest for sustainable urban transformation.

Readers are introduced to a comprehensive framework designed to guide policymakers, urban planners, and scholars in reimagining the future of cities. The chapters the book further strengthens the importance of academic and policy debate on urban governance and planning in the Sustainable Urban Transformation (SUT) process in developing countries through an extensive review of the literature on initiatives in developed or post-industrialized cities.

The book contributes to the body of knowledge by providing an understanding of how governance and planning with other variables can help in achieving the SUT agenda in developing countries. It also opens up further academic discussion and motivates policymakers to develop policies and initiatives aimed at the creation of a better life for its citizens now and for future generations, inspiring a new era of sustainable urban planning.

Seven of the seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) are directly related to sustainable infrastructure development. The majority of sectors, including the road infrastructure sector, are under intense pressure to find financially feasible, socially acceptable, and environmentally conscientious project outcomes or techniques that will result in sustainable road infrastructure development (SRID).

Sustainable Road Infrastructure Project Implementation in Developing Countries presents a model for implementing sustainable road infrastructure projects in developing countries. Providing readers with comprehensive theoretical and practical directions on implementing sustainable road infrastructure projects in developing countries successfully, the authors discuss the factors which influence the implementation of sustainable road infrastructure projects, including the drivers, barriers, benefits, and determinants of sustainable road project implementation.

The model offers road infrastructure stakeholders with a precise and functional tool that promotes collaboration, common language and comprehension, engagement and interaction among all individuals and institutions involved in SRIP implementation. It is beneficial to both professionals and scholars, in the area of architecture; building technology; civil engineering; sustainable/green construction and other disciplines in the built industry.
