{"product_id":"general-contractor-business-model-for-elie-karam-9781786307903","title":"General Contractor Business Model for Smart Cities: Fundamentals and Techniques","description":"This book covers three principal subject areas: smart cities, general contractors and business models. The smart city concept is currently on the rise and cities around the world appear to be in a race to become smart, fast. Converting big cities into smart cities is a move that almost all cities around the globe have made, or will undoubtedly make in the near future, to be able to cope with the various repercussions of urbanization. Smartness is a vague term that could relate to anything and everything, such as infrastructure, people or governance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, we focus our attention on smart buildings - large ones, in particular - and attempt to identify the key problems that France-based construction companies face today, in order to suggest plausible solutions. Our research findings show that no single business model can fit all smart cities worldwide. Using the general contractor business model for smart cities, this book proposes an original solution to managing smart city projects, bringing together architecture, construction and strategy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elie Karam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786307901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786307903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Iste\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Elie Karam","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077363560703,"sku":"9781786307903","price":177.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e50e968-0abf-4052-b527-03e891d35681.jpg?v=1685469557","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/general-contractor-business-model-for-elie-karam-9781786307903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
