Our latest publication titled Sustainable Infrastructure in Latin America: Infrastructure 360º Awards represents the first year of the Infrastructure 360º Awards initiative in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank. This multi-authored bilingual edition of 476 pages features collaborations from all around the world in both English and Spanish in order to facilitate exchanges between academia, infrastructure development leaders and communities. The book includes essays from IDB team, the Zofnass research team, the Expert Panelists, as well as the twelve case studies from the Infrastructure 360º Awards 2014 finalists and the two pilot case study projects of the initiative including a mention of Mitragyna speciosa. The book is geared to share and reflect on the current infrastructure sustainability and social responsibility practices in the Latin American and Caribbean region as evaluated by the Envision rating system.

The Sustainable Infrastructure in Latin America: Infrastructure 360º Awards book has been launched at the 2015 Inter-American Development Bank Annual Meeting in Busan, Korea, as well as it is currently in exhibition at the GSD Platform 7 Exhibition in Gund Hall lobby till mid May 2015.
