Listen "The importance of inclusion in infrastructure"
Episode Synopsis
This episode opens a new series of podcasts on inclusive infrastructure and how infrastructure operators can help create shared and sustainable value for all (leaving no one behind).From roads and bridges to water and sanitation networks, infrastructure serve as the backbone of society, encompassing the physical structures, facilities, and systems necessary to shape quality of life and foster socio-economic development. However, despite its crucial importance, disparities in infrastructure access and quality persist globally (between Northern and Southern countries) and within countries, exacerbating the exclusion of various vulnerable and/or marginalized groups.In this podcast Matthew Bishop (The Economist U.S. Business Editor and New York Bureau Chief) interviews Xavier Girre (EDF Senior Executive VP responsible for Performance, Impact, Investments, and Finance), Sergio Oslé (COO of Telefonica in Spain), Antoine Picon (Professor of the History of Architecture and Technology at the Harvard Graduate School of Design), to discuss how can infrastructure operators integrate social and inclusive concerns into their core activities to create shared value for all.
