Abstract
Countries of Asia and the Pacific region are facing unprecedented financial and environmental challenges in their pursuit of achieving rapid growth and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). There is growing realization of the urgency to move away from the current economic paradigm of maximizing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) towards a new development paradigm of maximizing the economic, social and ecological quality of growth that focuses on employment generation, economic resilience, improved quality of life, and ecological sustainability.
The lower and middle income countries in Asia and the Pacific may be in different stages of development but they are all urbanizing rapidly and feel the pressure to create adequate infrastructure in order to cope with the growing demand for housing, industries, transportation and other services. The traditional approach to infrastructure development locks into patterns of production and consumption for decades. Choices made in infrastructure development today will determine the competitiveness, quality of life and sustainability of countries for decades to come. A well-conceived infrastructure development strategy is more likely to meet the set goals of improved standard of living and quality of life without depriving the future generations of their due share of natural resources and ecological space.
