It supports the movement of food, people, goods, services, and ideas to, from, and within cities. It makes possible the provision of social infrastructure services to city residents. It enables a range of social and economic activity that simply could not occur in its absence. A city?s infrastructure is an enabling catalyst that makes possible wider economic and social activity and creates multiplier effects. Ultimately the purpose of a city?s infrastructure is to enable the quality of life, economic prosperity, and other societally beneficial outcomes that citizens expect. AV - restricted ER -
