Infrastructure planning and development should be based on a good understanding of infrastructure service needs and informed by the diverse options available to meet those needs. This includes understanding and managing the changing demand, and meeting needs through renovating or rehabilitating existing infrastructure before investing in new infrastructure. Systems-level planning of Infrastructure projects should promote synergies for improved connectivity, which can lead to improved productivity, efficiency, sustainability, and spillover benefits of investment. Flexibility and resilience should be built into infrastructure plans to allow for changes and uncertainties over time, and plans should be updated.
