Infrastructure Planning and Finance is a nontechnical guide to the engineering, planning, and financing of major infrastucture projects in the United States, providing both stepbystep 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 'howtodoit' section that covers the system and the comprehensive plan, development regulations and how it can be financed. Innovations such as decentralization, green and bluegreen 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.
