Why It’s Important to Have a Plan for Aging Infrastructure
Dealing with our ageing infrastructure isn’t just about fixing aging assets but securing our future. Here’s why:
Safety and Reliability: Newer roads, energy systems, and other infrastructure are safer and more reliable. They can handle more capacity, provide cleaner energy, and produce outcomes more efficiently.
Economic Growth: Upgrading infrastructure creates jobs and boosts local economies. When investing in repairs, refurbishments, and upgrading assets, we invest in our communities and our future.
Environmental Impact: Modern infrastructure is often more environmentally friendly. New energy systems can reduce pollution and use resources more efficiently.
Competitiveness: Organizations with modern infrastructure are more competitive. They attract businesses and investments, which leads to more opportunities for everyone.
Quality of Life: Better infrastructure means better quality of life for everyone. It means better performance and enjoyment from the built environment and opportunities for new jobs and businesses to thrive.
