Alex Wagemann: Infrastructure and population aging

A Colombian magazine publishes a column by Alex Wagemann, who calls for public and private projects to integrate this and other social factors into designs and bidding processes.

The design of public projects doesn't, at least on paper, include this factor. Highway manuals age just like the population.

In a column published in a Colombian magazine, WL Founder partner, Alex Wagemann ,calls for public and private projects to integrate demographic and social factors into design and procurement.

Referring to a McKinsey study on aging populations and declining fertility, he raises concerns about infrastructure being designed for a young population, despite shifting demographics.

He advocates for quality infrastructure design aligned with social reality and efficient use of public-private partnerships amid shrinking public resources.
