COST is an acronym for COoperation in S cience and T echnology. It i s a DG XII RTD Action aimed at facilitating international cooperation in numerous domains of research and development. The specific domain covered by the C4 action concerns the analysis and improvement of the general management process of the urban construction project. The Action C4 proposes to analyse the information flow shared by the numerous actors intervening in the urban-construction project development. This action intends also to analyse the way of transferring the decisions taken at the level of the urban project to the urban construction project level and how it is controlled and represented. The peculiar temporalities related to the urban project development imply a specific management that doesnÕt belong to the usual technical logic nor to the market requirements. Negotiation processes have been recognised as parts of the scope of the action.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
