The 2021 Marketing and Reframing of Infrastructure: Civil Engineer & Public Perspectives

Passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will go down in history, but so should its associated discussions. It took jaw-dropping trillion-dollar figures, a priority-reframing pandemic, and a scary escalation in natural disasters, but in 2021 a decidedly unsexy topic -- infrastructure -- got a little love.

Continuing efforts to understand emerging infrastructure requirements, communal impacts, and management strategies may prove vital to meeting many of the nation's engineering challenges in decades to come
