Urban pond: A landscape of multiple meanings
Presentation / Conference
Gledhill, D., James, P., & Davies, D. Urban pond: A landscape of multiple meanings. Presented at 5th International Postgraduate Research Conference in The Built and Human Environment, University of Salford

Ponds have a range of ecological, social and aesthetic values.
However, little work has been done to appraise the values assigned to ponds
located in an urban setting. During 2004, 10 ponds were studied in urban
areas of Merseyside. Standard ecolo... Read More about Urban pond: A landscape of multiple meanings.

Reforming project management: the role of lean construction
Presentation / Conference
Howell, G., & Koskela, L. Reforming project management: the role of lean construction. Presented at 8th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Brighton, UK

Project management as taught by professional societies and applied in current practice must be reformed because it is inadequate today and its performance will continue to decline as projects become more uncertain, complex and pressed for speed. Proj... Read More about Reforming project management: the role of lean construction.

The prevalent theory of construction is a hindrance for innovation
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L., & Vrijhoef, R. The prevalent theory of construction is a hindrance for innovation. Presented at 8th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Brighton, UK

It is argued that construction innovation is significantly hindered by the prevalent theory of construction, which is implicit and deficient. There are three main mechanisms through which this hindrance is being caused.
Firstly, because production t... Read More about The prevalent theory of construction is a hindrance for innovation.
