Some megaprojects, like the Empire State Building, are success stories while others, like Boston’s Big Dig, flop on a massive scale.

His book, co-written with journalist Dan Gardner, is “How Big Things Get Done: The Surprising Factors That Determine the Fate of Every Project, from Home Renovations to Space Exploration and Everything In Between.”
