Collapsing Structures and Public Mismanagement

Focusing on the mismanagement of public agencies, this book highlights the severe consequences of infrastructure failures, such as collapsing bridges and buildings. Analyzing cases from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and Germany, it emphasizes that these disasters stem from failures in safety regulation rather than mere technical issues. The author advocates for enhancing public oversight and integrity among officials and contractors, arguing that fostering a sense of responsibility is crucial for preventing future tragedies.
