Infrastructure
As digital transformation reshapes our world, our expectations for physical infrastructure must evolve
In cities, the digital economy interacts with physical and publicly funded infrastructure, often in unexpected ways.
The climate is changing faster than Canada’s infrastructure—ignoring it is not fiscally responsible
Extreme weather is already reshaping our economy, destabilizing our energy supply, weakening our ecosystems, and testing our infrastructure.
Building Canada’s infrastructure for resilience and sustainable development
Infrastructure is not only concrete, steel, and wood. It is about people, places, and possibilities.

A critical moment for the climate emergency, and a green infrastructure deficit
An alternative vision is not only possible but necessary to secure Canada’s economic future.

Canada needs a forward-looking National Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act to establish a framework for co-ordinated investment, standardized data collection, and climate resilience.
The promise and perils of nation-building projects
Getting swept up in political hype and hubris can lead to the wrong projects, poor priorities, and terrible outcomes.
