Cities and communities around the world are struggling to finance and replace aging, failing, or inadequate infrastructure systems. This report offers a new framework for bridging the gap between the growing consensus that it is necessary to build resilient infrastructure and the lack of public and private sector interest in expanding infrastructure investment. In particular, the RE.invest Initiative tackled the problem by reimagining civic infrastructure systems in a way that creates both public value and private investment opportunities, especially for vulnerable communities.
