Resources

Talking Infrastructure has produced several books, as well as articles here and in other journals – and many blog posts.

Note that Penny Burns is currently working on making all issues of the SAM newsletter available on line., and we are looking at creative ways to search both TI and SAM resources.

It’s a slim, elegant book aimed at councillors and C-suites to convey the realities of infrastructure, and the vital support a good Asset Management can provide to them.
