The Developing Infrastructure Group is led by Science and Technology Policy Fellows from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Our group focuses on policies for smart, sustainable, and equitable physical and digital infrastructure in communities, whether large or small, urban or rural, domestic or international.

We are interested in a broad range of infrastructure-related topics that encompass mechanisms and tools for environmental, socioeconomic, and technological resilience. Examples include, but are not limited to: smart city technologies, affordable housing, clean transportation, and broadband access.

We engage with the perspectives of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners around the world working on infrastructure issues to understand community needs, identify barriers to implementation/access, and examine best practices for successful infrastructure programs.
