As infrastructure ages around the U.S., a dialogue is needed to explore the opportunities to invest in new infrastructure and re-imagine how infrastructure is built. 

• How can infrastructure be used to increase the sustainability and resilience of cities and other urban areas?  
• Is hardening infrastructure the best way to avoid natural disasters?  
• Are there better ways to build infrastructure to mitigate disaster?  
• How can we finance these extremely costly projects?
• Is capitalization an option? 
• What is infrastructure in today’s and tomorrow’s digital age?
• How does infrastructure design and investment to support infill growth differ from greenfield development?
• How can we plan infrastructure efficiently for co-benefits that draw from multiple funding sources to reduce the burden on real estate?
