Experts in economics, management, and engineering have examined all aspects of the Indonesian construction sector to provide readers with unique insights into the workings of this important sector of the economy, and to analyse how both economic growth and policies have contributed to Indonesia’s development and how lessons learned can be used to guide future growth.Indonesia’s construction industry is set to grow rapidly after a decade of extensive investments in public infrastructure projects emphasizing new transportation, utilities, and social infrastructure buildings. The book is divided into two sections: Looking Back will focus on a critical analysis of the construction industry, its achievements and its failures, and the impact of the efficiency of the sector in bringing about improvements to overall quality of life. The primary purpose of the second section, Moving Forward, is to suggest directions and emphases for future action by the government of Indonesia (and other stakeholders) to promote the continued development of the construction industry.This book will be a valuable resource for policy makers in government and industry and other stakeholders to obtain a succinct view of the sector in the archipelago and to appreciate its potential to bring about improvements to the quality of life in Indonesia.

This book addresses the evolution of the construction industry in Malaysia from its independence in 1957 until the present day. It is a fascinating look at Malaysia’s story of achievements and setbacks told for the first time from an infrastructure development and construction perspective.Chapters cover topics such as the government’s economic development policies, the transition from foreign to local contractors, employment of migrant construction workers, the adoption of privatisation policies and the reliance on private financing for public infrastructure. Many features of modern construction principles such as privatisations, public-private financing, industrialised building systems, alliancing or partnership approach were rapidly adopted and are discussed in the book. Contemporary issues such as climate change, environmental sustainability, occupational health and safety, quality and technology are also discussed. The second part of the book provides six case studies of pertinent projects over the last sixty years to illustrate the transformation of the Malaysian construction industry and the challenges faced along the way. These include:• North-South Expressway (1981)• Penang Bridge (1982)• Petronas Twin Towers (1993)• East-Coast Rail Link (2016)• Merdeka 118 Tower (2024)This latest addition to the Routledge Research Collections for Construction in Developing Countries series is essential reading for students and scholars of the international construction sector, economic development, infrastructure, and the history of Asian economies.
