The goal for this new corporate blog is to become a key source of information in the transport infrastructure and urban services sector. Experts in infrastructure development, mobility, sustainable construction and innovation provide their insights and perspectives on the main challenges facing the environment and the cities of the future, while exchanging views with anyone interested in innovative ideas and best practices related to designing, building, funding, and operating infrastructure and value-added services. See video from Ferrovial at: http://inr.synapticdigital.com/ferrovial/intelligentinfrastructure/ Experts from Ferrovial analyze these challenges from different points of view, considering the impact on society, business and citizens, as well as a clear focus on questions such as the management of increasingly populated cities, the optimization of resources while maintaining quality, and the close cooperation of public and private entities to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
