Innovation in Infrastructure

From Judith Rodin, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, in an interview with McKinsey & Company:

"Rockefeller is always focused on innovation, right from its beginning.  We think that one of the innovations in infrastructure is really taking a systems approach.  And that means not thinking about a specific project, not thinking about a specific situations like "water only" or "transport only" or "energy only," but really looking systemically around what kinds of infrastructure need to support healthy, active, accessible communities or nations.  And with that innovative way of thinking, you actually do approach infrastucture differently."
