Infrastructure 100

The concept of the Infrastructure100 is a simple one.

We are living through an age of unprecedented investment in infrastructure around the world. It is vital to long-term economic growth and to some of the greatest global challenges of today, such as meeting energy demand, coping with the impact of urbanisation, and providing for an aging population. In many ways, the infrastructure projects of today are shaping the world of future generations.

Yet, as an industry, we do not spend enough time explaining ourselves or celebrating the full diversity of ambition and achievement in what we do.

The aim of this publication is to showcase one hundred examples of the great work that is underway globally in infrastructure. We hope that the Infrastructure100 will make industry professionals proud of the work they do and, for those less familiar with the world of infrastructure, it may inform, or even inspire.

This is not an “awards” publication, although we have sought the help of a distinguished group of judges to help select the 100 projects from the many hundreds nominated.

Also, we have selected one project from each sector to examine in greater detail.

The conclusions are intended to provoke discussion. The judges have considered projects of many different sizes, across different markets, at different stages of realisation.

Inevitably, this has led to lengthy debates. This has been a fascinating process, which we at Infrastructure Journal and KPMG have thoroughly enjoyed hosting.
