Speakers will examine the roles that major infrastructure projects will play in developing and sustaining future cities. They will discuss how these projects can be financed, their impact on the environment, and their ultimate costs and benefits. They also will discuss how cities should deal with decaying infrastructure that cannot be renewed, and examine how decisions made now will affect the future economic and social vitality of a city and the lives of its citizens. Robert E. Rubin, former Secretary of the United States Treasury, will deliver the keynote address.
