Public funding and financing of infrastructure are under pressure as demands for improved and equitable services increase globally. Whether the need is drinking water delivery, waste- or stormwater management, energy services, or transportation mobility, this demand has resulted in the engagement of the private sector to meet the financing gap via new types of public-private partnerships.
In this webcast, you will discover how the consumerization of infrastructure services is shifting toward new business and financing models. You will get insights into the potential for resilient and sustainable revenue streams and how coupling data to the automation of financial transactions can unlock value.
About Cornell’s CTECH Keynote series:
Transportation and infrastructure systems define modern society and provide critical services that ensure healthy and economically viable communities. Future development of urban infrastructure systems, such as transportation systems and the urban environment, must address the complex systems challenges of population growth and urbanization, the acceleration of climate change, environmental integrity, community health, and increased economic disparities.
The CTECH (Center for Transportation, Environment, and Community Health) Keynote series provides an open forum for multidisciplinary discussion, bringing together practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and the general public to examine these issues and solutions through a social justice and health equity lens. Together, we will explore innovative research and technologies ranging from new service/business models to connected and automated electric vehicles that address the challenges in infrastructure, transportation, environment, and community health systems.
While highlighting the impact of the STEM disciplines on civic well-being and public health, this series also affords the opportunity for the dissemination of knowledge and actionable recommendations to meet these global challenges.
The CTECH Keynote series is developed by
Dr. H. Oliver Gao, Howard Simpson Professor with the
School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University and director of the US Department of Transportation’s
Center for Transportation, Environment, and Community Health (CTECH).
