Infrastructure Trends for Our Shared Future: Objectives

Build the Next investigates infrastructure choices leading to the maximum overall benefit to our society: both short term and long term. By investigating and reporting on the benefits and harms, decision-makers can make choices that advance the common good while respecting the dignity and well-being of all individuals and communities.

Strategically enhancing connectivity through infrastructure initiatives not only strengthens the physical links within communities but also fosters a deeper sense of belonging and facilitates economic growth. By investing in robust transportation networks, third spaces, and a pleasing public aesthetic, communities can bridge geographical divides, empower local businesses, and create opportunities for all residents. 

Build the Next promotes and reports on sustainability that involves championing the energy transition and prioritizing the integration of green infrastructure solutions. By embracing renewable energy sources, implementing energy-efficient technologies, and investing in eco-friendly infrastructure, communities can reduce their environmental footprint and foster resilience in the face of climate change.
