The complex consists of 158 residences arranged in a zigzag pattern across a man-made peninsula, with each residence composed of interconnected concrete boxes and receiving sunlight and views on multiple sides. Safdie aimed to provide the benefits of suburban living through private outdoor spaces, natural light, and privacy within an urban high-rise development. While an ambitious experiment, Habitat 67 ultimately failed to significantly address high-density housing problems due to challenges with its modular construction.
The School of Planning and Architecture, Vijayawada (SPA Vijayawada) is a higher education institute in Vijayawada, India, specializing education and research in the field of urban planning and architecture. It is one of the two School of Planning and Architecture (SPAs) established by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India in 2008 as an autonomous institute and a fully Centrally Funded Technical Institution (CFTI). It forms a part of the league along with the other two SPAs: SPA Bhopal and SPA Delhi.
The roots of the institute are with a report made by the Institute of Town Planners, India (ITPI), on the request of the Ministry of Human Resource Development regarding the establishment of more SPAs, in addition to the SPA Delhi, established 1959. Based on this report, the decision was made to establish two schools, in Bhopal and Vijayawada.[2] On 7 July 2008, SPA Vijayawada was established as an autonomous Centrally Funded Technical Institution (CFTI).[3] In 2014, Lok Sabha passed a bill to make all the three SPAs "centre of excellence" on the pattern of IITs and IIMs, now it is a Institute of national importance.
Initially, the school was operated out of a temporary campus in Acharya Nagarjuna University in Guntur till 2011, before moving to its current campus. In 2011, the foundation stone of the Vijayawada campus was laid by Daggubati Purandeswari, Minister of State for Human Resource Development. The present campus is located at Nidamanuru, on National Highway 5, close to the Vijayawada Airport (12.4 km only).[4] Expansion plans include building more hostels to accommodate the growing number of post graduate students, a state-of-the-art sports complex and residential quarters for doctoral students.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh is in the process of allotting nearly 60 acres of land, spread over two locations in and around Vijayawada, for the development of the school. Of this, the first 7.2 acres was handed over on 22 February 2010. In January 2012, design for the new campus was adopted as part of an all-India competition and it is proposed to develop it as an eco-friendly campus with state-of-the-art facilities. The proposed campus will comprise academic, co-curricular and residential facilities
The school is being run under supervision and guidance of a board of governors.

The Prince Edward Graving Dry Dock in Durban will undergo a R30 million repair of its outer caisson over four months. This is the third phase of repairs to the 90-year-old dry dock, which was deemed unsafe. Channel Construction was selected as the contractor and will work closely with managing contractor Sebata Group. The dry dock will be non-operational for two months during August and September for the repairs, and Transnet National Ports Authority has confirmed there are no scheduled vessels during that time. The repair project aims to improve the safety and operations of the dry dock as part of Transnet's larger investment in ship repair facilities nationwide.
Glasgow has extensive transport infrastructure including three international airports within an hour, a large subway system, and frequent bus and rail services. However, some road networks are approaching or exceeding capacity. Future plans include expanding rail freight capacity and improving motorways. There is debate around whether infrastructure spending sufficiently prioritizes reducing carbon emissions through more efficient travel options over expanding road capacity. Overall, Glasgow has good transport connectivity but will require sustainable expansion to support continued growth.
The document summarizes an interview with Fawaz A.

rate to waste less water and be environmental friendly.
The energy conservation policy:
promotes the provision of adequate energy to consumers
at the least possible level
The impact: the project will cost less money to do the daily
construction.
Reference (20,21)
35. Discriminatory National laws in Jordan:
Positive impact: The refugees from other middle-east
countries get less salaries. Therefore, for the project, it can
employ those refugees by paying less money and get same
labour force , rather than paying salaries for locals.
Negative impact: The refugees who are employed by the
project may have some social problems, such as no
accommodation, lack of food, crime and so on. Therefore,
if the project employ those refugees, it will take risk.
