Mega transport and logistics infrastructure projects in developed and developing countries: The ethics of investment and the cost of failure

Abstract

Both developed and developing countries undertake major transport and logistics infrastructure projects in the hope that they will bring significant benefits. When such projects are successful, the general wellbeing of the people is enhanced. However, many infrastructure projects fail and it can also be argued that any monies available, particularly in relation to developing countries, could be better used to address immediate problems such as providing medical aid or famine relief. This research examines the ethics of investment and the cost of failure of such projects using a multiple case study approach based on projects deemed to have failed.
