Hillary Brown understands that--for our grandchildren's sake--we must rebuild America and, in doing so, re-imagine our interconnected infrastructure systems to make them more efficient, environmentally safe, and resilient in this age of global urbanization. This fascinating and important book should be required reading for our elected officials and policy-makers. --Felix Rohatyn Former Chairman, Municipal Assistance Corporation
