Summary of "Developing Sustainable Infrastructure in New Cities

(Draft 2)

In the article "Developing sustainable infrastructure in new cities, "Cho(2014) expressed the importance of sustainable infrastructure in a metropolitan setting and identified key areas in determining how infrastructure can add value to the community. The article stated that economic driven-developments in new cities are affected by metropolitan challenges, thus enhancing in functionality and durability of infrastructure are necessary. As an impact King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) Fellow, Cho intends to apply the Envision sustainability rating system as an impartial guideline to evaluate sophisticated infrastructure development. Cho used the Neuvo Nexcaxa- Avila Camacho Highway in Mexico as fitting reference to how the rating system would tackle these economic, social and environmental effects.

To a notable degree, I believe that Cho has elaborated on the use of the rating system to improve on infrastructure development to enhance the quality of life in the developing areas. The guidelines will be the main backbone in thriving towards social, economic and environmental status quo.
