Closing the Gap: Local infrastructure business models to support inclusive growth, iBUILD Research Centre Final Report

Research from across the iBUILD Research Centre has identified five priority action areas to help governments and infrastructure policy-makers and practitioners ‘Close the Gap’ by unlocking better and more sustainable infrastructure business models. If applied to all infrastructure planning and decision-making, these action areas will help to challenge the “timid, uncoordinated, incremental, wasteful”7 way the UK currently plans, builds and manages its infrastructure, and should enable a new approach to be developed that delivers infrastructure systems and services that enhance the health, wealth and security of all UK citizens.
