State of the Nation: Infrastructure 2014
- Date
- 26 June 2014
Infrastructure is vital to society. It enables sustainable economic growth and improves quality of life. Infrastructure networks provide:
- Energy generation and distribution
- Water supply
- Flood protection
- Waste management
- The transportation of people and essential goods
The approach to delivering and maintaining infrastructure requires attention. If we are to compete in the global economy the UK’s infrastructure must:
- Meet the challenges we are now encountering
- Adapt to extreme climactic conditions
- Meet demands from a growing population
This means that we can no longer provide and operate infrastructure at all times and to the high levels of service expected.
