MARKET WATCH:
For the built environment, the significance is the network effect. Rural roads can improve movement of agricultural goods, while urban roads and airport access can strengthen commercial and residential connectivity. Investors should watch for areas where road investment is accompanied by population growth, business activity and supporting utilities—those factors are more important to long-term property demand than road construction alone.
