Promises, promises, promises. Everyone promises more, better infrastructure. (What is infrastructure?) What has happened? Every few years, the American Association of Civil Engineers issues a report card on US infrastructure. If you haven’t heard, we’ve moved up from a D- to a C+. What’s wrong with our infrastructure? What forces are shaping infrastructure needs and possibilities and why can’t we do better?
