Infrastructure Planning and Finance is a non-technical guide to the
engineering, planning, and financing of major infrastucture
projects in the United States, providing both step-by-step
guidance, and a broad overview of the technical, political, and
economic challenges of creating lasting infrastructure in the 21st
Century. Infrastructure Planning and Finance is designed for the
local practitioner or student who wants to learn the basics of how
to develop an infrastructure plan, a program, or an individual
infrastructure project. A team of authors with experience in public
works, planning, and city government explain the history and
economic environment of infrastructure and capital planning,
addressing common tools like the comprehensive plan, sustainability
plans, and local regulations. The book guides readers through the
preparation and development of comprehensive plans and
infrastructure projects, and through major funding mechanisms, from
bonds, user fees, and impact fees to privatization and competition.
The rest of the book describes the individual infrastructure
systems: their elements, current issues and a 'how-to-do-it'
section that covers the system and the comprehensive plan,
development regulations and how it can be financed. Innovations
such as decentralization, green and blue-green technologies are
described as well as local policy actions to achieve a more
sustainable city are also addressed. Chapters include water,
wastewater, solid waste, streets, transportation, airports, ports,
community facilities, parks, schools, energy and
telecommunications. Attention is given to how local policies can
ensure a sustainable and climate friendly infrastructure system,
and how planning for them can be integrated across disciplines.
