Within an infrastructure system, operating and maintenance procedures, management practices, and development policies (i.e., the software) must work together with the facilities' hardware. This study has a strongly local perspective, drawing valuable information from workshops held in Phoenix, Cincinnati, and Boston. These workshops illustrated common elements of local experience that offer infrastructure practitioners, policymakers, and the public at large both understanding and guidance in the form of specific strategies that can lead toward "win-win" situations, where parties with potentially opposing interests seek a way to resolve infrastructure issues so that all parties gain. Local issues, combined across many regions, give infrastructure its strategic national significance. The book recommends specific principles that should be applied in national policy to support effective local infrastructure development and management. 410 0$aStudies in infrastructure technology and policy. 606 $aPublic works$zUnited States 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$zUnited States 615 0$aPublic works 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics) 676 $a363/.0973 701 $aGrant$b Albert A$01811991 701 $aLemer$b Andrew C$01805660 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBuilding Research Board. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommission on Engineering and Technical Systems. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960214603321 996 $aIn our own backyard$94364205 997 $aUNINA
