ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS

The iterative game between social demand and natural supply mediated by specific spatial-temporal conditions has generated throughout the history of humanity a multiplicity and multidimensionality of responses to the different environmental problems generated by the different anthropic populations. In advanced industrialized society this dynamic takes highly complex forms and environmental problems endanger the earth''s biosphere as a whole which has forced us to confront this threat among other strategies by formulating and putting into practice a new paradigm: sustainable development. This book presents the fundamental concepts of the relationship between infrastructure works and time formulating the paradigm of the theory of change.
