MIT's Ali Jadbabaie says infrastructure faces converging pressures and needs new design
Overview
MIT civil and environmental engineering head Ali Jadbabaie says climate change, resource limits, AI-driven design and rising demand in the developing world are converging on infrastructure at the same time.
He argues the world must meet that demand without repeating the resource-intensive 20th-century model, and says this requires rethinking design, financing and operation. Jadbabaie is scheduled to speak at the World Infrastructure Forum in Madrid on Oct. 28, according to MIT News.
