Key topics included are: – demand estimates of national and regional infrastructure in transport, electricity, information and communication technology, and water and sanitation; – empirical results on the costs and benefits of regional infrastructure for economies and households; – the impact of infrastructure development on the environment and climate; – sources and instruments of infrastructure financing; – best practices and lessons learned from the experiences of the Asian region and other regions; and – experiences of public-private partnership projects.
