"When it comes to infrastructure planning, there are plenty of promises,
especially in times of crisis.
COVID-19 brought with it severe economic impacts and many governments quickly
announced major infrastructure stimulus packages alongside legal reforms to
fast track delivery.
The promise was that these emergency infrastructure investments would “build
back better”, responding to the immediate economic challenges of COVID-19, as
well as spur societal transformation.
The possibilities sparked plenty of hope. There was no shortage of public
opinion pieces calling for things like a “green recovery” or a reduction in the
geographical inequalities in jobs and well-being the pandemic helped reveal."
