Infrastructure Definition

According to the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, infrastructure can be defined as:

1. the basic underlying framework or features of a system or organization.
2. the fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city, or area, as transportation and communications systems, power plants, and schools.
3. the military installations of a country.
   

For the purposes of this blog I would like to focus on the second definition, as the first is too broad while the third is too specific and a little off topic. Even after cutting those two out, the second definition is still really huge! It is, however, concise and to the point. I plan on using most of the posts on this blog to discuss:

• Transportation
• Communications
• Energy & Utilities
• Public Institutions
  

This represents an enormous range of topics. Have I bit off more than I can chew? Probably, so any contributions in the form of discussion or links to interesting things are much appreciated!

As an aside, I live in New York City, so don't be surprised if several posts are devoted to New York.
