Then, sustainable infrastructure will be introduced as the starting point and a prerequisite for sustainable cities and an inextricable part of urban planning and configuration. The proposed systems approach emphasizes the synergies and interconnections between infrastructure processes, including physical structures and operations, natural processes, and the end-user. Each system is decoded, addressing (a) the main demand or consumption that must be covered by the system, (b) the strategic approach and resources to meet the demand, and (c) the facilities and networks required. When a system is relevant to the needs or performance of another system, the connection is highlighted supporting the development of multifaceted, integrated plans.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout Professor Spiro Pollalis\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESpiro Pollalis, a Harvard University professor of 34 years, is an expert in the sustainability of infrastructure and cities.
