Growing communities are putting infrastructure services under pressure and in many places the infrastructure, and the environment it supports, is reaching a tipping point. Frequent failure of this infrastructure can harm health, damage the environment and cost money. What are some of the pressures on infrastructure and how can they be better managed?
A question with no simple answer. The population grows, demands rise, the economy grows, taxes grow, but unfortunately the investment does not follow the demands. I know this does not happen the same way around the world, but that seems to be common in less developed countries. But what after all means "to be developed"? Perhaps it should be related among other things with a good ability to deal with pressures on infrastructure. Here in Brazil we have a poor infrastructure and a huge difficulty in making things work well.
