Abstract:
Urbanization is the process of limitless expansion of that which is urban, the built essentials that constitutes a civilization, beyond the limits of what can be recognized as the city. Infrastructure is the method by which urbanization is possible. Certain infrastructure has created residual spaces where urbanization does not occur. There is an opportunity for architecture to employ elements of the specific city as well as elements of the local urbanized area as a means to separate from and confront the infrastructural and urban conditions surrounding these residual sites.<br>Master of Archit

This research is an investigation into the phrase 'landscape as infrastructure' and questions the influence of this notion in the design of new housing developments along the Maribyrnong River, Melbourne.

It is through this functioning that we can understand the way landscape acts as a stage for activities to occur, not just background to the object.

Abstract:
Digital piracy is a problem that may never disappear from society. Through readily available resources such as those found in a university, students will always have access to illegal goods. While piracy is a global phenomenon, an institution s resources combined with the typical college student s lack of funds makes it more lucrative. Students use a number of methods to justify their actions ranging from previewing media to bringing justice to a corrupt company. While trying to understand the mindset of pirates is one route to deal with piracy, corporations attempted to alleviate the situat

Abstract:
This study examines the impact of transport infrastructure on the economic growth of South Africa from the period 1970 to 2015. The researcher adopted a conceptual and theoretical framework related to infrastructure development and economic growth. The Johansen multivariate Co-integration and Granger causality test were adopted, consisting of stationary and directional causality of variables. The findings disclosed a strong unidirectional causality relationship in the long run between economic growth and gross domestic fixed capital formation, which runs from the former to the latter.

Abstract:
<p>In this thesis, I have chosen to analyse the Swedish wood industry and how it has been developing during the last decades. The purpose is to analyse the infrastructural impact on the industrial location patterns and to see to what degree these locational changes can be observed in more or less favourable regions.</p><p>Theoretically, all economic activity should take into consideration where to locate the production. This means that the firms should analyse both profits and costs and then consider if they are located in an economically efficient location. If they draw the conclusion from th
