Synopsis

In recent years, the world of civil engineering has been changing considerably. Within the many obstacles, barriers, and opportunities, significant challenges should be considered for the future of civil engineering. With the contribution of geoinformatics, several scientific areas associated with civil engineering experienced rapid technological evolution. Considering these challenges, the future of civil engineering can be portrayed.

Geoinformatics in Support of Urban Politics and the Development of Civil Engineering portrays the evolution of the world of civil engineering, what happened in recent decades, what will develop in the future, and what the path will be. This work characterizes the different academic areas of civil engineering, demonstrating its evolution. Covering topics such as landslide susceptibility mapping, spatial data, and local development, this premier reference source is an essential resource for policymakers, environmentalists, scientists, technicians, decision makers, engineers, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
