The Technology Foresight Report on Construction and Infrastructure

30th April 1999  |   Reports, Research and Analysis

The construction industry designs, produces and maintains the built infrastructure which is essential to social and economic development. Economic growth, quality of life and sense of place are directly related to the condition and efficiency of the built infrastructure. Failure to provide and maintain the built infrastructure will undermine the economy and the social fabric and exclude Ireland from European and global opportunities.The built infrastructure accounts for over 50 per cent of national wealth. In producing this wealth, construction is a major and consistent contributor to the economy.
