Description: Praise for Infrastructure as an Asset Class 'Infrastructure is a key prerequisite for economic development and the backbone of any society.

This second edition of Infrastructure as an Asset Class integrates important sustainability aspects in infrastructure investing, making it an indispensable resource for long–term infrastructure investors and policy makers alike.'
