Infrastructure 2008, co-published by ULI and Ernst & Young, was released this week at a press briefing featuring Rick Rosan, President, ULI Worldwide and Dale Reiss, Global Director of Real Estate for Ernst & Young in New York City. The report, the second in an annual series, examines infrastructure investment and development in the United States and overseas.

This year's edition shows a continued decline in the level of U.S. investment, and cautions that this trend threatens the global competitiveness of U.S. cities. “The status quo increasingly looks like a precarious option–relying on existing networks and systems will only hamstring future growth and compromise sustainability,” the report states. “2008 seemingly marks a critical juncture in a rapidly changing economic environment where new approaches to land use, infrastructure and energy efficiency will likely determine and possibly reorder the next generation of winners and losers–countries, companies, investors, and peoples.”
