Infrastructure Decay
Broadband, roads, water, and public spaces lag or fail.
Context
Aging infrastructure deteriorates faster than it's maintained or replaced. Limited tax bases and deferred maintenance create cascading failures.
How It Shows Up
- Inadequate or nonexistent broadband internet
- Crumbling roads and bridges
- Aging water and sewer systems failing
- Deteriorating public buildings and spaces
- Lack of modern energy infrastructure
Patterns That Address This
- Digital Root System
- Circular Water Systems
- Resilient Energy Microgrids
- Main Street Reawakening
