Infrastructure 4.0 project defined as “forward-looking infrastructure
that leverages technology and information to provide high-quality
environmental, economic and social outcomes, and functions as a
system within broader human and natural systems.” The adoption
of emerging digital technologies into infrastructure can transform

the way in which infrastructure is designed, financed, planned,
constructed, operated, and maintained. Infrastructure digitalization
can be a powerful tool that facilitates the provision of sustainable
and resilient services that foster innovation to improve community
wellbeing worldwide.

and sustainable community.
