Abstract

David Wimberly’s talk will focus on current issues in mega infrastructure analysis, appraisal, and finance in the USA and possibly the UK and EU countries. According to David Wimberly the major problem is the fact that many cities and counties are essentially “broke”. The author will illustrate a four-point solution to the plan consisting of inspection and analysis of all infrastructure, appraisal of all infrastructure, adjustment of accounting records and GIS system, and refinance of the infrastructure through the issuance of new municipal bonds. Two case studies will be discussed to show the potential benefit of this process.
