Investing in infrastructure is not a question. It is, for any nation, not only inevitable and vital, but also essential. Without infrastructure, nations, economies, individuals and communities have no future. It is as simple as that. Energy, water, transport, telecommunications: without any or all a nation cannot operate, much less prosper and grow. People’s lives could not be lived. Business could not operate. City planning, growth and just getting around would become chaotic.
