This lecture block introduces the concept of infrastructure strategies, which are sets of future intervention or investment plans in infrastructure systems. Firstly, infrastructure strategies are defined and their usefulness for strategic infrastructure planning is discussed. Subsequently, different methods for developing infrastructure strategies are introduced and critically reviewed. And finally, multiple examples of developing infrastructure strategies within and across different sectors in different country contexts are provided, showing how these were used to inform infrastructure investment.
