NIC publishes report on changes to infrastructure needs due to coronavirus (COVID-19)

Article summary

The National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) has published a report on how the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted behaviours and infrastructure requirements. The report notes that it is too early to know whether changes in behavioural patterns will be a permanent consequence of the pandemic. It therefore includes various scenarios to assess a range of potential changes and consequent impacts on infrastructure. It also includes a range of questions that NIC says policy makers should ask themselves when making future decisions about infrastructure.
