Doco & Discussion. Crumbling Superpower: America's Fatal Infrastructure Crisis
Details
| Is America facing an infrastructure breakdown?
From collapsing bridges and aging highways to strained power grids and failing water systems, the United States faces mounting challenges in maintaining the physical foundations of modern society. How did the world's largest economy arrive at this point, and what are the economic, political, and social consequences?
Join the Sydney Open Forum for a screening of the documentary:
Crumbling Superpower: America's Fatal Infrastructure Crisis
The documentary examines the state of America's infrastructure and explores the long-term effects of underinvestment, political gridlock, urban expansion, and changing economic priorities. It raises important questions about national resilience, competitiveness, and the capacity of governments to address large-scale public challenges.
Following the screening, we will hold an open discussion covering topics such as:
- The current state of infrastructure in the United States
- Economic and political causes of infrastructure decline
- The relationship between public investment and national prosperity
- Comparisons with infrastructure development in other countries.
- Lessons for Australia and the future of urban development.
Whether your interests lie in economics, politics, public policy, engineering, or current affairs, this event offers an opportunity for informed and respectful discussion.
All viewpoints are welcome.
