Comprehensive and practical, this book provides an essential resource for educators, researchers, students, and those in public agencies and consultancies who are directly responsible for managing municipal infrastructure such as roads, water, and sewer pipes. The book is thorough in the integration of procedures that establish a cost-effective intervention plan using the latest technologies and management processes. It examines all the aspects of developing an optimal asset management plan for collocated municipal assets. It presents the evolution of asset management from data requirements to investment planning and priority programming of rehabilitation and maintenance. It offers a coordinated approach to effectively manage municipal infrastructure and offers integrated solutions that aid decision-makers in taking informed decisions on (1) when to maintain each asset, (2) which corridors shall be prioritized, and (3) what is the best intervention to undertake for each asset. It also offers a compelling vision of how infrastructure and cities will evolve by 2050, shaped by advancements in digital technology, transportation, governance, sustainability, resilience, and climate change. It provides invaluable insights for practitioners,
