Abstract

This chapter intends to explore the necessity of sustainable infrastructure and the key factors affecting sustainability. Sustainable infrastructure constructs the environment to be crucial for society’s survival, health, and comfort. The environment comprises engineering works, buildings, transports, power production facilities, wastewater and water treatment plants, storm water management systems, and even natural systems such as rivers and harbors. The infrastructure systems provide the structures required for the operation of society and facilitate access to goods and services. The demand for infrastructure is rising in tandem with population growth and urbanization structure. The increasing population consumes a large volume of materials and energy to upgrade themselves and their infrastructure. The rising urbanism is adopting the updated information and communication technology (ICT) to transform cities into smart cities. More infrastructure results in some vulnerable effects that create unsustainable burdens. However, more solutions must be implemented at the local level. This study addresses the fundamental science of sustainability, various obstacles inherent in the ICT transformation, recommendations for diplomats, innovators, researchers, scientists, project developers, sponsors, traders, allied stakeholders, and faculties to reach the sustainable infrastructure based on the review of similar works.
