Our charge: With roughly two-thirds of the global population expected to live in urban areas by 2030, the sustainability of the infrastructure required to serve those residents will become paramount. For decades, using the term �infrastructure� conjures up boring images of water sanitation projects, bridges, and roads�domains left mostly to civil engineers and urban planners. But this landscape is quickly changing. Advancements in technology and an imperative for climate resilience are prompting a new generation of urban infrastructure�all aimed to allow residents to access the goods and services they demand on a daily basis�in ways that support the sustainability of the planet.
