Infrastructure is not just about physical assets, such as roads and bridges. It is also about providing people with the power, clean water, communications, logistics, and mobility that they need. With the world population expected to reach more than 9 billion by 2050, purposeful, smartly, and sustainably designed infrastructure will become critical to expanding society's access to public goods and innovations that advance individual and community capacity, well-being, national economic growth, and overall prosperity.
