520 _aProvides a detailed examination of such major infrastructure projects as the Channel Tunnel and Great Belt link in Denmark. Explains how the promoters mislead parliaments, public and the media in order to get these projects approved and built. Demonstrates how the formula for approval consists of underestimating costs, overestimating revenues, undervaluing environmental impacts and overvaluing the effects on economic development. Also suggests practical solutions to these problems based both on theory and evidence from these projects.
