Building resilience
New strategies for strengthening infrastructure resilience and maintenance
Following the COVID-19 shock to economies and societies, many countries are renewing
infrastructure investment as a stimulus measure. Such investments present an opportunity
for governments to address short-term infrastructure challenges through maintenance
spending while building resilient and sustainable infrastructure for the future. Infrastructure
resilience and maintenance requires a multidimensional approach, considering a range
of factors and stakeholders at the local, regional, national and global levels to
identify trade-offs among objectives and enable more robust policy choices. Drawing
on examples and case studies, this report provides a framework for optimising existing
infrastructure assets and building new resilient infrastructure. It also includes
strategies for ensuring quality and performance over an asset’s lifecycle.
