The aims of the association

1. The social aim is to smooth the transition from a 20th Century world in which large, centralised, physical infrastructure and services dominate, to a 21st Century world with individual and customised service delivered from digital infrastructure, and to do this through the decisions that we make.
2. The educational aim is to help decision-makers, their organisations, and the public to better understand the ways in which infrastructure shapes our lives and how to take these into account in decision-making.
3. The collaborative aim is to work as a catalyst to bring together the many disciplines who are currently acting in silos, to share and grow their infrastructure knowledge and perspectives.
