This book addresses the prospects and challenges concerning both
soft and hard infrastructure development in Asia and provides a
framework for achieving Asian connectivity through regional
infrastructure cooperation towards a seamless Asia. Key topics
included are: - demand estimates of national and regional
infrastructure in transport, electricity, information and
communication technology, and water and sanitation; - empirical
results on the costs and benefits of regional infrastructure for
economies and households; - the impact of infrastructure
development on the environment and climate; - sources and
instruments of infrastructure financing; - best practices and
lessons learned from the experiences of the Asian region and other
regions; and - experiences of public-private partnership projects.
This insightful book will serve as a definitive knowledge product
for policymakers, academics, private sector experts and
infrastructure practitioners interested in the regional and
national infrastructure demand, investment and benefits in the
region. Concerned officials from private and public sectors, and
other experts involved in environmental and natural resources
studies will also find this compendium invaluable. Contributors: R.
