Public facilities and infrastructure management

Public facilities and infrastructure are currently aging all at once. It is not possible to maintain everything that exists currently. The lecturer presented “decaying infrastructure” in 2011 and has actually supported the management activities of many local governments. This course is the first in the world to recite the solution to this problem.

Regardless of whether you are in a position in the public or private sector, you will become people who solve the problem of decaying infrastructure from your respective position.
