- W2914876186 abstract "It is widely accepted that the growth and prosperity of nations is dependent on economicinfrastructure. Infrastructure is constituted by cyber-physical systems that enablecommunications (e.g. postal, telephone and internet) as well as transportation (e.g. road,water, air), energy (e.g. electricity and gas) and other utilities (e.g. drinking water and waste)(Chandler, 1977; NAO, 2013). It provides the basis for economic growth and prosperitythrough the provision of essential services that enable economic and social activity. As aresult, it delivers significant benefits, both directly through the services it delivers, andindirectly through the impact of those services on the rest of the economy (Nightingale et al2016). However, these benefits come at a cost. Infrastructure is expensive to build, operateand maintain. The provision of infrastructure involves degradation and the consumption ofnatural ecosystems, displacement of local communities, CO_{2} emissions, noise and pollution.Infrastructure is typically long-lived and the costs of poor choices and mistakes can affectfuture generations. This is especially prominent with politically motivated infrastructureinvestment decisions, which have a lifespan that coincides with electoral cycles. Tocomplicate matters further, the costs and benefits of infrastructure provision fall unequallyacross society in a way that benefits a minority (usually local to the area of infrastructuredevelopment) although the distribution of costs are more widely spread (for example ininvestments funded by taxes) (ibid). In this context, infrastructure investment decisions arenot only complex they are inherently political." @default.
