Smart cities, digital infrastructure that is sustainable & resilient, & the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure are likely the hallmarks of the next decade
Add to that decentralised and smart energy systems, urban regeneration & mixed use developments supported by advanced construction techniques & data driven nano-enabled infrastructure management & we can expect some remarkable changes ahead. Add to that the expectation across multiple jurisdictions of ‘circular economy infrastructure’ & things become even more exciting.
Trends towards waste, reduction, minimisation & reuse/recycle/up-cycle will all contribute to the full suite of technological, ecological & societal advancements in infrastructure.
At a political level, non-partisan long-term agreements on future requirements will be needed to build confidence & assurance for investors
