“…The results of Bangkok's road and railway MI, MS density, and MS per capita were compared to those of four cities with concrete MI databases: Tokyo, Japan (MLIT, 2016, 2020; Tanaka et al., 2013; Tanikawa & Hashimoto, 2009; Tanikawa et al., 2015), Vienna, Austria (Gassner et al., 2020; Lederer et al., 2016; Virág et al., 2021), Shanghai, China (Han & Xiang, 2013; Han et al., 2018; Mao et al., 2021; Zhang et al., 2019), and Hanoi, Vietnam (Miatto et al., 2021).…”

“…MI therefore is determinant in final MS results, but is not available yet for transportation infrastructure in Thailand. Although MIs of track‐related structures (such as rail and sleeper) have been well compiled in some industrialized countries (e.g., Japan; Tanaka et al., 2013; Tanikawa & Hashimoto, 2009; Tanikawa et al., 2015) and emerging industrial countries (e.g., China; Fu et al., 2019; Han & Xiang, 2013; Han et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2019), they did not take auxiliary supporting structures (such as skytrain viaducts and subway tunnels) into account. Recent studies conducted in Vienna (Gassner et al., 2020; Virág et al., 2021) and other global cities (Mao et al., 2021) revealed that auxiliary supporting structures play a vital role in railway MS but are neglected in most studies.…”

Development of transportation infrastructure that extends roads and railways in Bangkok has overlooked the negative environmental impact of construction material accumulation. To analyze the extent of this impact, we originally established road and railway's material intensity coefficients and investigated spatially explicit roadway and railway material stock (MS) for the years of 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019, and 2037, based upon the master plans’ target year. We further analyzed how MS evolution relates to the city's socio‐economic indicators and CO2 emission. Significant growth is found in transportation MS during 2004–2019, and roadways particularly increased from 122 to 164 million metric tons (Mt). The master plans would require 43 and 6.55 Mt construction materials for roadway and railway extension, respectively, by 2037. More material‐intensive roads (cross‐provincial highways and major local roads) built to the suburbs of the cities and underground/elevated structures of the mass rapid transit system in dense urban areas will require three times the annual cement and steel consumption of that in the 2004–2019 period. Furthermore, a 2–3 fold increase in the number of registered vehicles and associated CO2 emissions during the study period have brought questions to the transportation infrastructure MS efficiency. The findings of this study will enable informed decision‐making regarding the concern of resource consumption and for considering environmentally friendly approaches in urban transportation planning for Bangkok and other developing cities.

“…Furthermore, the literature shows an interest in quantifying the current and future waste flows. The general methodology of such research can be described as a retrospective stock pattern estimation that allows a prospective forecasting model for future waste generation to be created [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] Production and consumption: This category included research that focused on the evolution of stocks and flows over time, highlighting the increasing consumption and accumulation of stocks [20,22,49,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. Typically, it included forecasting future demand, similar to the general methodology described in the previous category.…”

“…Typically, it included forecasting future demand, similar to the general methodology described in the previous category. Several studies provided indicators based on stock levels, such as materials' saturation in industrialized countries [63][64][65][66], and socio-economic indicators, such as the decreasing housing stock in developed countries [67] in contrast to a housing deficit in developing countries [68]. In other words, researchers here attempted to explore and understand the relationship between stock levels and production, consumption, social welfare, population, and income, along with other parameters [60,[68][69][70][71][72][73][74].…”

Materials are continuously accumulating in the human-built environment since massive amounts of materials are required for building, developing, and maintaining cities. At the end of their life cycles, these materials are considered valuable sources of secondary materials. The increasing construction and demolition waste released from aging stock each year make up the heaviest, most voluminous waste outflow, presenting challenges and opportunities. These material stocks should be utilized and exploited since the reuse and recycling of construction materials would positively impact the natural environment and resource efficiency, leading to sustainable cities within a grander scheme of a circular economy. The exploitation of material stock is known as urban mining. In order to make these materials accessible for future mining, material quantities need to be estimated and extrapolated to regional levels. This demanding task requires a vast knowledge of the existing building stock, which can only be obtained through labor-intensive, time-consuming methodologies or new technologies, such as building information modeling (BIM), geographic information systems (GISs), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning. This review paper gives a general overview of the literature body and tracks the evolution of this research field.
