Infrastructure in a changing world: Trends and challenges

Abstract

This study is an initiative of the ISPI’s Centre on Infrastructure, promoted with the knowledge partnership of McKinsey & Company. The Centre on Infrastructure focuses on how geopolitical and economic trends shape and are shaped by investment decisions on infrastructural projects. It aims to analyse global trends (new technologies, mobility, sustainability, etc.) and monitor major projects, also with a view to gauging their complementarity/ competition and financing channels. Specific attention is devoted to the role of key economic and political players at all levels – from local to global – including regional and international development banks, whose “political” agenda is often crucial to foster public and private investment.
