Well-maintained infrastructure can also improve public health, safety, and quality of life. Investment in and proper management of these assets are therefore crucial for long-term societal prosperity and resilience. Challenges related to infrastrukturtrillgångar often involve significant upfront costs for construction, ongoing maintenance expenses, and the need for continuous upgrades to meet evolving demands and technological advancements. Decisions regarding their development, financing, and operation have long-term impacts.
