What % of GDP is spent on Infrastructure? By The Numbers.

What’s happening? Let’s play keeping up with the Jones, but it’s keeping up the governments. The US spends 2.4% of its GDP on Infrastructure.

Why is this important? The EU spends 5%. China spends 9%.

How will this be important? It is harder for smaller cities to maintain aging infrastructure, and revenue sources like property taxes are not keeping up with maintenance costs.
