The year 2014 marked the rapid expansion of big data in urban studies and planning practices in China. Big data has advantages of revealing individual characteristics rather than a general feature by traditional statistics, and it is consistent with the idea of people-oriented urbanization and...

Structural design in a semiconductor photocatalyst is significant to improve the photocatalytic efficiency to solve current energy or environmental problems. In this study, we developed a Z-scheme photocatalyst system consisting of PANI/ZnO-CoMoO4 for degradation photocatalytic processes. The...

Purpose – The purpose of the study presented in this paper is to assess determinants of financial innovations in infrastructure using a system‐of‐systems approach, and to demonstrate this approach in the context of the US highway transportation sector. Design/methodology/approach – A...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the pathway toward operationalizing resilience in management of transportation infrastructure. Design/methodology/approach – The research approach includes a comprehensive survey of the State Transportation Agencies (STA) in the USA. The...

While traditional financing approaches such as federal and state grants funded by taxation are insufficient to address the existing need, innovative financing such as novel public private partnership models, credit enhancement tools, and new bonding instruments has emerged to expand the fiscal...

Due to the growing demand for civil infrastructure, financial innovations are required to close the financing gap. However, a lack of theories has inhibited a complete understanding and, thus, creation and diffusion of financial innovation. A lack of theory about financial innovations in...
