Alexis specializes in urban sustainability, specifically how urban governments experiment with infrastructure that is ‘multifunctional’. Multifunctional infrastructure refers to the integration of basic services, such as water supply and sanitation, with other goals such as climate action, resource conservation and efficiency.

MY LATEST RESEARCH
Multifunctional Infrastructure
I am currently researching urban infrastructure as something that is multi-functional. Beyond everyday urban services such as water or sanitation, how can infrastructure assist us in achieving resource efficiency, climate action or ecosystem protection? How can we think creatively about the potential of urban infrastructure for these multiple goals?
Asset management
Asset management is emerging as a key tool for infrastructure practitioners in managing their assets over the long term. What is the future the role of asset management as we shift to more sustainable infrastructure?
