“…Construction in developing countries like Pakistan and India is more labour intensive than in developed countries, requiring 2.5-10 times the number of employees per operation (Kim-Soon et al, 2016). Jobs are typically unskilled and move in groups, with or without their families, around the country in search of work.…”

Major construction projects in Malaysia are subjected to unsafe conditions that can result in accidents and subsequently undermine the project’s safety results. Despite alarming, studies examining thefactors that influence the performance of the Malaysianconstruction industryremain scarce. Hence, this paper aims to review the literature related to construction safety performance in the Malaysian construction industry. In particular, thispaper givesemphasis in reviewing the literature on construction safety and performance, safety performance in the construction industry, construction safety performances,security management, safety programme, safety policy, cost of safety, and safety training. The findings of the analysis revealed thatproper construction safety activities would lead to the overall performance of the Malaysian construction industry.

“…The Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART) project in Kuala Lumpur uses a combined approach to mitigate two separate but major problems faced by the city; traffic congestion and storm water management/flooding (Kim-Soon et al 2016Wallis 2004). The tunnel, completed in 2007, consists of a 9.7 km tunnel to divert water during flash flood events, 3 km of which is shared with a two-layer motorway constructed to alleviate traffic problems during peak times throughout the rest of the year.…”

Infrastructure networks such as those for energy, transportation and telecommunication perform key functions for society. Although such systems have largely been developed and managed in isolation, infrastructure now functions as a 'system of systems', exhibiting complex interdependencies that can leave critical functions vulnerable to cascade failure. Consequently, research efforts and management strategies have focused on risks and negative aspects of complexity. This paper explores how interdependencies can be seen positively, representing opportunities to increase organisational resilience and sustainability. A typology is presented for classifying positive interdependencies, drawing on fundamental principles in ecology, and validated using case studies. Understanding opportunities from interdependency enables better understanding and management of infrastructure complexity, which in turn allows the use of this complexity to the advantage of society. Integrative thinking is necessary not only for mitigating risk, but for identifying innovations to make systems and organisations more sustainable and resilient.
