California's Infrastructure: A Legacy in Peril

摘要

The magnificent Golden Gate Bridge, the dams and water systems of the west, our transcontinental railroads and unparalleled network of modern interstates, and the airports, seaports, tunnels and transit systems that serve our cities — all of these are part of California's infrastructure.rnCalifornia is a rapidly growing state. As such, our infrastructure is beginning to show its age. With 35 million residents, California is the most populated state in the country, and its economy ranks as the world's fifth largest. Based on some estimates, our state will add 10 million residents during the next 20 years, putting its population at a staggering 45 million people.
