Tabla de Contenidos:
- Cover; Half Title; Title; Copyright; Contents; Foreword; Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; Overview; Infrastructure disruptions are a drag on people and economies; More resilient infrastructure assets pay for themselves; Making infrastructure more resilient requires a consistent strategy; Notes; References; 1 Resilient Infrastructure: A Lifeline for Sustainable Development; Objectives of this report; Structure of the report; References; Part I: A Diagnosis: A Lack of Resilient Infrastructure Is Harming People and Firms; 2 Infrastructure Disruptions Are a Barrier to Thriving Firms
- Infrastructure services enable firms to thriveInfrastructure disruptions have direct and real costs for firms; Firms employ costly measures to cope with unreliability; Unreliable infrastructure leads to lower productivity; Notes; References; 3 Infrastructure Disruptions Affect the Health and Well-Being of Households; Infrastructure provides households with essential services; Power outages directly reduce the well-being of households; People's health and well-being suffer when the water supply is unreliable; Transport disruptions lead to lost time, income, and access to services; Notes
- A survey confirms the cost of natural hazards for firms through infrastructure disruptionsConsequences spread through domestic and international supply chains; Supply chain simulations enable better measurement of the macroeconomic impacts of disasters; Notes; References; Part II: A Matter of Design: Resilient Infrastructure Is Cost-Effective; 6 More Resilient Infrastructure Assets Are Cost-Effective; The additional up-front cost of more resilient assets depends on the asset and the hazard
- The additional up-front cost of more resilient assets could be offset by lower maintenance and repair costsImproving maintenance and operations is an option for boosting resilience and reducing costs; The cost of increasing resilience depends on the ability to spatially target strengthening; Summing up; References; 7 From Resilient Assets to Resilient Infrastructure Services; Using criticality analyses to prioritize interventions; Diversifying assets to increase network resilience; Decentralizing and using new technologies; Working across systems to capture synergies
