Abstract

As this is being written, the nation is still waiting for the legislative package that would address the country’s long-standing infrastructure needs. The fact that such a bill does not yet exist as the U.S. Congress prepares to leave the Capitol for Summer recess underscores the difficulties inherent in such a massive undertaking. In the last issue of PWMP, we addressed the question of whether the U.S. needed a “national infrastructure policy.” A more germane question in these contentious times may be how the nation’s law makers come together to do what a majority of the nation says they need and want. Perhaps only time will tell.

期刊介绍： PUBLIC WORKS MANAGEMENT & POLICY: RESEARCH AND PRACTICE IN TRANSPORTATION, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE ENVIRONMENT is a peer-reviewed journal for academics and practitioners in public works and the public and private infrastructure industries. This journal addresses the planning, financing, development, and operations of civil infrastructure systems at all levels of society— from federal policy to the demand for, and delivery of, state and local public works services. PWMP solicits manuscripts that convey research results, evaluate management innovations, suggest methods of analysis and evaluation, and examine policy issues.
