“Megaproject development today is not a field of what has been called ‘honest numbers’.14 It is a field where you will see one group of professionals calling the work of another not only ‘biased’ and ‘seriously flawed’ but a ‘grave embarrassment’ to the profession.”

“Ya, kesejatian diri sudah hilang dari masyarakat sini, yang terlalu lama dan terlalu bertubi-tubi diserang disintegrasi politik, ekonomi, maupun kebudayaan. Di mana-mana arsitektur selalu menjadi detektor yang tidak bohong, merekam dan mensinyalkan keadaan diri suatu bangsa.”

“Also, the technologically high-risk Apollo aerospace programme is considered a classic success story of megaproject planning and implementation. The cost overrun on this US$21 billion project was only 5 per cent. Few know, however, that the original budget estimate included US$8 billion of contingencies.18 By allowing for risk with foresight, the programme avoided ending up in the type of large cost overrun that destabilises many major projects during implementation. The Apollo approach, with its realistic view of risks, costs and contingencies, should be adopted in more major projects.”
