I've got a goofy question for the engineering/construction folks. I know you're out there!
Is there a tidy little word that captures both construction and demolition? Something not terribly technical.
As in "Infrastructural Planning and ____________" to replace "Infrastructural Planning, Construction and Demolition".
Thanks!

Re: Engineering Question
Renewal?
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I was going to say clusterfuck, but renewal has a nice ring to it
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Re: Engineering Question
Renewal implies renovation to me. Hard to sum up construction and demo in one word since they are essentially opposites.
