Hurricane Sandy FloodingNew York is one of the world’s great cities - and when it was brought to a standstill by Hurricane Sandy, many questioned the state of the city’s infrastructure - and the country’s - in the face of increasingly destructive weather patterns. On the East Coast of the United States, subway tunnels were flooded, construction sites damaged, roads were left under several feet of water and over 7.5 million people were left without power. As a result, many are wondering what can be done to increase investment into the country’s aging infrastructure - and why it has taken so long for any action to be taken.1
