4. Basic contexts for planning public works and infrastructure The planning agency The responsibility for public infrastructure planning, development, implementation, and operations and management, generally rests with an agency that has been granted statutory authority for a particular type of facility or system of facilities.

5. Basic contexts for planning public works and infrastructure Global, National, State and local Issue, Objectives and perspectives The objectives of a project must be viewed from several different standpoints, depending on the nature and extent of the project. Several different contexts may be considered with geographic or political boundaries: global, national, state, and local.

6. Basic contexts for planning public works and infrastructure Global Issue The global context of a major project, plan, or program of projects may be considered in terms of sustainability or globalization of the economy. National Issue National objectives and concerns are usually expressed in federal legislation, which affects the actions of agencies at all levels of government.

7. Basic contexts for planning public works and infrastructure State Issue State objectives are generally expressed in legislation paralleling the federal structure, but their financial and regulatory policies may be tailored to the unique requirements within each state. State agencies are often designated as responsible for specific infrastructure facilities.

8. Basic contexts for planning public works and infrastructure Regional and local Issue Regional and local objectives, like state objectives, may target additional concerns. For the transportation sector.

9. Basic contexts for planning public works and infrastructure Performance-Based/Customer/User Context Performance-based planning and the use of outcome-driven performance measures have become increasingly important for public infrastructure projects. Planners must recognize and work within the nested set of stakeholders.

11. Basic contexts for planning public works and infrastructure Organization and Institutional Context There are more than one institution interesting in one infrastructure facility.

12. Basic contexts for planning public works and infrastructure Political Decision-Making Context In most cases, decisions to provide public physical infrastructure will be made within the political decision-making process. Political decisions are made through the different funding and regulatory contexts, and through the decision processes of governing entities such as mayors, city councils, county executives, governors, state legislators, and politically appointed agency heads and boards. For any project, the planner must understand the political decision-making process that will govern the implementation of the project.
