How to build a better world podcast: Infrastructure work is going regional – in water, sanitation, roads and bridges – says Kaushik Chakraborty, senior vice president, Asia Pacific & Japan with Bentley Systems in this podcast.

The trend is reversing the previous super trend that had captured demographers for decades.
The other big picture move is the new flow of investment in defence infrastructure, such as roads and rail, but which also benefits civilians, Kaushik points out. We caught up with Kaushik for a leisurely chat after the Bentley Systems Year in Infrastructure conference in Amsterdam in October.
The conversation also covered the emerging tech and AI that’s making its way into the business and is increasingly used by the company’s clients. In a world of rapidly advancing climate change, these are tools that will be incredibly valuable, he says.
