4. The Future of
Civil Engineering
The need for infrastructural
development is always stable. Thanks
to the ever-growing population and
improvement of the standard of
living all around the world, there is a
constant demand for infrastructure
in the developing countries and a
strong need for existing
infrastructure to be replaced or
repaired in the developed countries.
Now combine this with the expected
shift to renewable energy sources,
there is a continual increase in the
number of potential projects for civil

The future of civil engineering in India…..

5. THE FUTURE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING IN INDIA
In India, the construction industry comprises of the urban development segment and
real estate in general. The urban development segment includes urban transport, water
supply, healthcare, sanitation, and schools. Whereas, the real estate segment
encapsulates office, residential, hotels, shopping malls, leisure parks, and retail, amongst
others.
The growing middle class is creating a demand for better roads and more airports for
easy and quick transportation, more power grids to light even the most remote rural
regions, and modern office buildings and infrastructure to support the continued growth
of the global economy created by the rise of online and e-commerce trade. Add to this
the rapid advancements in software, solutions, and technology; we have got a civil
engineering sector that is poised for a vibrant future ahead.
ACHIEVEMENTS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING IN MODERN INDIA
Forty years back, who would have imagined that the distance between Worli and Bandra
could be covered in just 10 minutes?! The Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL) built in the
Arabian Sea made this possible by lessening the commute time from 20-30 minutes to
just 10 minutes. This cable-stayed bridge is an engineering marvel accomplished by the
civil engineers in India.
Then we have Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel in Jammu Kashmir, Pamban Bridge in Tamil
Nadu, Panval Nadi Viaduct in Ratnagiri, and I-Flex Solutions in Bangalore that are a
landmark achievements of modern engineering. And these are just a few examples of
the rapid development of modern urbanized India as the country is bound to witness
many more such ambitious civil engineering projects in the future.

World Environment Day 2022 is the biggest international day for the
environment. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and
held annually since 1974, it has grown to be the largest global platform for
environmental outreach. It is celebrated by millions of people across the world.
World Environment Day 2022 is hosted by Sweden. “Only One Earth" is the
campaign slogan, with the focus on “Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature”.
#OnlyOneEarth: A Practical Guide to Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature
Developed for World Environment Day 2022
Climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste –evidence
that Earth is “code red” is all around us and growing more ominous every day. At
the same time, billions of people are short of income, food, shelter, health care
and education. Energy and food crises on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic and
a spike in conflicts around the world are further causes for concern. The way out of
this dilemma is to transform our economies and societies to make them inclusive,
fair and more connected with nature. We must shift from harming the planet to
healing it. We must protect what we have and bring back what we lost to advance
to a better, more sustainable future, where everyone can thrive. World
Environment Day 2022 can help accelerate this shift. This year’s campaign,
#OnlyOneEarth, highlights the need to reset the balance with nature through
transformative changes in how we eat, live, work and move around. This guide
presents actions that communities, organizations and people everywhere can take.
It spotlights the key responsibility of governments, cities, business, faith groups
and finance to make sustainable living possible by transforming consumption,
production, infrastructure, investment and land use. It also includes examples of
personal decisions to effect change and push for action.
