Keep It Civil 302 - The Future of Infrastructure

08/10/17 • 17 min

For the second episode of series three we are joined by Professor Brian Collins to talk us through the work of the UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC), which aims to address the insufficient and unsustainable value extracted by services using national infrastructure. We analyze the motivations for this project, and look at the developments for UK and international infrastructure it will bring about. More information about UKCRIC can be found at www.ukcric.com, you can also follow them on twitter @UKCRIC. More information on the International Symposium for Next Generation Infrastructure can be found at www.isngi.org.
