Interdependence of Different Infrastructure Sectors

Caption

An illustration maps the interdependence of different infrastructure sectors. These complex relationships are characterized by multiple connections between infrastructure systems, feedback and feed-forward paths, and intricate, branching topologies. The connections create an intricate web that, depending on the characteristics of its linkages, can transmit shocks throughout broad swaths of an economy and across multiple infrastructure systems.
