The various forms of delegated management of infrastructure, whether in roads, energy, or water, have helped shape the foundational tools of public authorities as we know them today.
With what impact on economic development? On solidarity and social justice? On improving people’s well-being?
By bringing together the perspectives of researchers, international experts, and public officials, “Décider Maintenant” aimed to contribute to the discussion on mobility infrastructure governance.
These are essential assets serving territories and societies: how can we link performance with contribution to the public interest?

Leonard, La Fabrique de la Cité, and the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, with the support of VINCI Highway, present “Décider Maintenant”, a series of conferences bringing together researchers, elected officials, experts, and public and economic decision-makers. The aim is to bridge science and public decision-making to prepare today for the future of our infrastructure, an issue directly tied to the attractiveness of our territories, our social cohesion, and our political organization.
