They can design and build infrastructure that not only meets technical requirements but also takes into account the social and cultural needs of the communities they serve.
In conclusion, this book is a valuable resource for civil engineers, students, and professionals who seek to enhance their understanding of sociocultural contextual knowledge and its significance in shaping a more sustainable and equitable world.
