McKinsey helps rethink infrastructure issues

And whoever knew that roads and bridges could be such an interesting topic? 

The video with Madelein Albright and other speakers is interesting as it is talking about infrastructure being looked at differently than mere government concern.   Climate change, and other issues show that some of our present actions may not be sustainable; the images will make you think about this in ways you may have taken for granted before.   McKinsey Consulting group is looking at this from a more systemic approach.    http://www.mckinsey.com/features/infrastructure   The role of politics, what has been tried that is not working and other factors are discussed.

Also the challenge of the weak municipal governance, and absence of municipal funding authority. How interesting that a NFP foundation (Rockefeller Foundation) and for-profit consulting groups is assisting in this national and international governmental planning and accounting topic.
