| Summary |
"Transportation infrastructure continues to crumble in the United States, and there appears to be little political will to do much about it. US Infrastucture is the first book to bring together a multi-dimensional perspective to explore the field holistically - the structure, economics, finance, planning, politics, and policy of our transportation and technology - to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding of the problems faced by policymakers and planners. Written by top academics in the field and aimed at policymakers, managers, and administrators in public and private organizations, as well as students, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the US infrastructure problem, its causes and consequences, and suggests timely, specific measures that may be taken at the state, local, and federal levels to improve and better secure our roads, transit, public buildings, economy, and technology"-- Provided by publisher |
