Infrastructure Building. What matters as much as cost & time?

What’s happening? Governing Column looks at what is important when governments build infrastructure. Turns out it isn’t just time and money. It’s also who owns the infrastructure, what it looks like (design matters) and connections.

Why is this important? Because often the choice is which costs the least, but in the end the project can cost more if it’s an eye sore, serves no purpose because it doesn’t connect people and communities, or is run by a 3rd party.

Why will this be important? Public Private Ownership is a perennial policy decision and works well with good actors. But, when the public turns on a project managed by a bad actor, its a costly policy problem.
