WORKFORCE: THE ROLE OF WOMEN
An integrated panel discussion: Is there a difference
in women’s perspectives as we think about modern
infrastructure design? For example, is there less of a
focus on the engineering of projects (a highway, a bridge,
a metro station) and more on the creation of place? If
this is so, then does this broader focus on place create
opportunities to fund projects through value capture?
