Diversity in construction - the gamechangersstrengthening innovation through diversity /[electronic resource] :edited by Bianca Christina Weber-Lewerenz. - Wiesbaden :Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden :2024. - li, 392 p. :ill. (chiefly color), digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- State of the Art and Status Quo -- Individual Profiles in Construction -- Intercultural Bridge Building -- Human Transformation -- Early Stages -- New Work in Craftsmanship -- Human Transformation of Humans and Technology -- International Law and Human Rights -- New Thinking and Learning Culture -- Study Programs and Training for the Future -- Good Communication in Architecture and Construction -- AI meets Art -- Initiatives and Networks -- Conclusion and Outlook.

The book explains why innovation and new digital technologies in the construction industry and beyond are largely dependent on a new culture of thinking. Personal experience reports from user practice and insights into research show the many human and technical potentials that have so far been insufficiently utilised. The book provides examples of how digital change can be shaped in a meaningful and constructive way. It looks back at the historical development of diversity in construction and highlights entrepreneurial paths towards a more diverse working culture, but also identifies the problem areas that hinder the innovation process. A variety of calls for action are derived from the inventory 'Where do we stand?' and the question 'Where do we want (need) to go?'. Diversity is the key to success. This realisation is important in order to set the course for an innovative, sustainable construction industry now. The book identifies the key factors and core competences at all levels that are decisive for promoting diversity and innovation. If it utilises these consistently, the construction industry can take on a pioneering role at home and abroad. Content The book shows ways to achieve more diversity in construction It creates an understanding of the human transformation in construction Women impressively describe their career paths in the construction industry Target Group Contributors to the construction industry. Anyone interested in diversity and innovation. The author Bianca Weber-Lewerenz studied civil engineering in Constance, Mainz and Stellenbosch, South Africa. She manages construction projects in Germany and abroad. Worked and lived in Beijing, China, for 7 years. Since 2014 self-employed as a construction consultant with Bianca Weber-Lewerenz Engineering. Doctorate until 2024 at RWTH Aachen University. Since 2019 research project on 'Entrepreneurially responsible digitalisation in the construction industry - ethical principles in dealing with digitalisation and AI.'
