#Civic Development

Public works is the sacred ritual of pouring taxpayer money into roads and facilities, whose true products are votes and vested interests. Branded as “community benefit,” it serves more as a banquet for politicians and contractors than genuine civic improvement. When finished, it is lauded as indispensable; when delayed, it dazzles with performances in “transparency” and “efficiency” far beyond expectations. Under the banner of public interest, the safest option is always to prioritize the ego of the commissioning party.
