有形基础设施，包括建筑物、道路、管道、桥梁、电力线、通信网络、运河和水道，占全球材料使用和流动的很大一部分。因此，必须解决材料的总体质量和相关的环境影响，以实现基础设施的可持续发展。本文调查了基础设施材料使用的规模，包括人均使用趋势，基础设施材料的生产和使用对环境的影响，有形基础设施寿命的变化以及基础设施材料回收利用的变化。
Physical infrastructure, including buildings, roads, pipelines, bridges, power lines, communications networks, canals, and waterways, make up a substantial fraction of worldwide material usage and flows. Consequently, the overall mass of materials and the associated environmental impacts must be addressed to achieve sustainable development of infrastructure. This article surveys the magnitude of material use for infrastructure, including trends in the use per person, environmental impacts of the production and use of infrastructure materials, variations in the longevity of physical infrastructure, and changes in the recycling of infrastructure materials.
