This research, funded under NSF's Urban Systemic Infrastructure solicitation, evaluates the influence of urban-infrastructure management structures on infrastructure quality and performance. Management structure serves as a description of the overall decision-making framework for infrastructure investment and maintenance. The research design consists of 10-12 case studies in transportation and water-resources infrastructure, complemented by statistical analyses of the key quantifiable relationships identified. The major products of the research are: (1) a framework for decision-making to improve infrastructure performance; (2) an empirically based understanding of decision-making and management attributes that tend to enhance infrastructure performance; and (3) a design for training and technology-transfer programs for infrastructure management. In addition, the project outputs include the design of curriculum materials and the design of a workshop and training session for infrastructure managers. The work will be performed by an multi-disciplinary team of engineers, social scientists, management scientists, and urban and environmental planners from (a) New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and (b) Polytechnic University's Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, in conjunction with a number of participating infrastructure organizations.

本研究由美国国家科学基金会城市系统基础设施招标项目资助，旨在评估城市基础设施管理结构对基础设施质量和性能的影响。管理结构是对基础设施投资和维护的总体决策框架的描述。研究设计包括10-12个交通和水资源基础设施方面的案例研究，并辅以对确定的关键可量化关系的统计分析。本研究的主要成果有：(1)改善基础设施绩效的决策框架；(2)基于经验的决策和管理属性倾向于提高基础设施绩效的理解；(3)基础设施管理培训和技术转移方案设计。此外，项目产出还包括设计课程材料和为基础设施管理人员设计讲习班和培训班。这项工作将由来自(a)纽约大学罗伯特·f·瓦格纳公共事务研究生院和(b)理工大学土木和环境工程系的工程师、社会科学家、管理科学家和城市和环境规划者组成的多学科小组与若干参与的基础设施组织合作进行。
