Alex sent me a link to a discussion on LinkedIn about an “infrastructure agenda” (discussion on LinkedIn) The poster asks, in summary, “what should the government do about aging infrastructure?” I’ve noticed so much discussion in the media about this issue lately, and for obvious reasons, it strikes me as interesting.

I believe this rally of sorts for the government to do something about aging infrastructure answers my question, “why should people care about infrastructure?” It really makes the purpose of my project “Critical Infrastructure” more clear in that the public policy issues surrounding these systems are really becoming apparent to everyday people.

Billions will be spent on improving these built systems–may as well chime in if you have something to say!
