The work goes beyond a simple quantitative approach to explaining cost underestimation and looks at the planning process as a tool for both argumentation and structuring the argumentation. This approach highlights the difficulties in several components of the estimating process and suggests specific and practical actions to address these problems. The proposed framework will strengthen the estimating function and the link between analysis and decision in urban transportation planning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis work will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in transportation planning, urban planning, and transportation engineering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aurelio Menendez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275942198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275942199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.62h x 6.42w x 0.74d","brand":"Aurelio Menendez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013714325759,"sku":"9780275942199","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f467b37-41f4-4872-b900-43d0faa2bd97.jpg?v=1767744311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/estimating-capital-and-operating-costs-aurelio-menendez-9780275942199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
