The state of the world's decaying dams, bridges, roads, etc


The Infrastructure Reddit

Infrastructure - the fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city, or area, including the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function. It typically characterizes technical structures such as roads, bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications, and so forth, and can be defined as "the physical components of interrelated systems providing commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or enhance societal living conditions."

Can you recognize this city from aerial images

Hello! Just a little "I made this" post that I thought could interest infrastructure nerds. I built a small game where you have to guess a city from satellite images. It's called unzoomed.com

Here's today's starting frame:

I just launched a US version as well, if you like very neat grids... -> us.unzoomed.com

How fast can you find today's pick? How can I improve the game?

Yacht protection design project

Discussion

Hi everyone, i'm a second year product and industrial design student, trying to come up with infrastructure design solutions for boats and yachts that are pushed ashore/dislodged during hurricanes leaving them stranded on homes/shorelines.

My focus is on Florida (Siesta Key!) as its just been hit by a hurricane (and I happen to be from there), and there's a huge boating culture here.

Any ideas for research to delve into? potential project ideas? anything that would help?

Opinions on my video on the Three Gorges Dam

Hi everyone!

I’ve just finished working on a video for my YouTube channel, Urban Giants, where I take a deep dive into the story of the Three Gorges Dam—a massive engineering project with an uncertain future. The video covers everything from its monumental construction to the environmental and structural challenges it faces today.

I’d love to hear your honest feedback! Specifically, I’m looking for:

What do you like about the video?

Anything that stood out to you or really caught your attention? Maybe the storytelling, visuals, or the way the information was presented?

What could I improve on?

Did anything feel off or could use some polishing? I’m open to all constructive criticism—whether it’s about the pacing, the content, or even the editing style.

Any other thoughts?

Whether you think I’m onto something great or there’s a detail I missed, I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

The video explores some pretty intense themes about the dam’s impact on people, the environment, and even the global economy. I’m really curious to know if this kind of content resonates with you and if there’s anything I could do to make it more impactful.

Thanks in advance, and if you’re interested in mega-engineering projects, feel free to check out the channel and subscribe for more! Looking forward to hearing from you all! 🙂

Cheers
