Abstract

Abstract : Sustainability continues to be a desired outcome of public and private infrastructure projects around the world. Often a triple bottom line assessment is applied in the planning stages of a project to ensure that actions taken today will benefit future generations on multiple levels ‐ environmentally, economically, and socially. And sometimes sustainability is built into a project in ways that are not visible on the surface.
