Civil Engineering: A Very Short Introduction examines the nature and importance of civil engineering in the history of civilization and urbanization. This VSI sets out the problems that civil engineers need to solve and the science and technology that has enabled engineers to build bridges, tunnels, houses and buildings for all aspects of life. It also looks at the social and environmental considerations and the challenges facing civil engineers of the future — managing water and energy and a growing sensitivity to buildings and the environment — as well highlighting the lives of some major civil engineers of the past.
