This comprehensive book offers valuable insights and practical suggestions for readers seeking to comprehend the intricate process of making public investment decisions for sustainable infrastructure. Through a detailed analysis of public investment in infrastructure across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Finland, the author delves into how the decision-making processes for significant public works spending, often involving rigorous computational methodologies, can lead to plans that inadequately serve large segments of the population, exhibit unfairness, and fail to effectively preserve public assets.
Beginning with commonly cited explanations for the slow pace of investment and repair in a supposedly prosperous society grappling with severe environmental challenges, the book proceeds to explore the media's role in shaping the public's understanding of the situation and the unimaginative solutions proposed by politicians. It then presents several case studies highlighting infrastructure investment, or lack thereof, including an examination of competing demands for government funds.
Concluding with practical recommendations, this book is designed to appeal to a broad audience of professionals, students, and policy makers specializing in political science, urban planning, and civil engineering. By shedding light on the complexities and challenges of public investment in infrastructure, it aims to empower readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to drive positive change and create more sustainable and equitable communities.
