Guest on The Infra Blog: Chris Ward, Executive Vice President and Chief Executive of Metro New York at AECOM

Thursday, August 16th, 2018

I think there are a variety of very seismic forces that have been occurring in the American economy and America culturally which are driving to questions about cities. Historically, America has always understood itself and its future somewhat within the model of moving away from town, moving away from cities. That all has now flipped itself on its head in that more and more people are now moving back into cities. They’re staying in cities and cities are growing in ways that we probably didn’t expect 20-25 years ago when the suburban model or the exurban model was where we thought our future was going to be. That is a huge cultural shift for the United States.

“It’s fundamental: having people come together and raise their voice and speak up is the only way to get something done in Washington. I would urge any advocates of infrastructure to speak up and to send letters to their congressmen, and to join coalitions and never underestimate the impact you can have to get something done.”

U.S. Infrastructure: Ignore the Need or Retake the Lead?

Monday, April 11th, 2011

AECOM
Aging and decaying U.S. highways, bridges and public works require urgent attention. A growing population is placing increasing demand for improved transportation networks and public services. However, U.S. infrastructure funding continues to fall short as local, state and federal budget deficits constrain necessary investments. The consequences of underinvestment in these vital systems are dire, affecting the United States’ global standing as a leader in economic growth, productivity, competitiveness, capital inflow, job creation, sustainability and lifestyle.

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
