A Possible Answer to Herman Daly's Dilemma: Building Quality Infrastructure for Sustainable Development

Abstract

Building a quality culture is a long-haul journey that requires educational, cultural, social, political, and economic considerations and the collaboration of all stakeholders. This paper examines Herman Daly's perspective on the quality infrastructure impact for sustainable development. Specifically, the paper addressed the complications of sustainable development raised by Herman Daly while highlighting quality infrastructure components relevant to sustainable development. From the paper, it can be concluded that sustainable development, which is developed through sustainable infrastructure, can be derived from a quality policy that creates the arrangement for the implementation of quality infrastructure. Furthermore, it was noted that an infrastructural system that is sustainable integrates efficient forms of transportation, energy, and telecommunication. These can assist in unlocking the economic potentials of several developing countries.
