What is the future of systems integration within civil infrastructure? This paper provides a background to systems integration; articulates the challenges of civil infrastructure in the mid‐21st century; and reviews the state‐of‐the‐art in research on systems integration in the delivery and operation of civil infrastructure. Building on the literature review it highlights opportunities that arise through reframing from projects to systems (and systems of systems), and using the potential of new forms of data analytics. It sets out a research agenda for next generation tools to visualize and understand civil infrastructure as a complex product system.
