MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is discussing a new approach to infrastructure and highlighting the World Infrastructure Forum, which it co-founded with partners.
- Ali Jadbabaie, head of MIT’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, says the sector must rethink how infrastructure is designed, financed, built, and operated as climate change, AI, and geopolitical instability reshape demand and risk.
- On Oct. 28, Jadbabaie will join experts in Madrid at the World Infrastructure Forum, co-founded by MIT, the World Bank Group, UPM, and the University of Texas at Austin; the forum has five working groups and an advisory group of more than 30 leaders.
