In many cases, the benefits of infrastructure development do not trickle down to the most vulnerable populations, exacerbating inequalities and limiting overall impact.

This groundbreaking book analyzes the role of infrastructure development in empowerment, inclusion, and equitable growth and offers practical guidance for implementing effective infrastructure policies and strategies. It highlights best practices and lessons learned worldwide and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in driving positive change. Whether you are an academic, researcher, practitioner, or policymaker, this book will deepen your understanding of the transformative potential of advanced infrastructures, and provide actionable insights for creating sustainable and inclusive future for all.
