Infrastructure induced development is a process dominated by feedback in that it features the synthesis of demand and supply functions. For the demand function, we are seeking the infrastructure improvement requirement to accommodate a certain socioeconomic need; for the supply function we want to know the level of service obtained for a certain infrastructure improvement. The objectives of the project from which the paper is derived is to develop a methodology for generating models that can be used to by planners and decision makers as instrumentalities for making reliable estimates of the economic health and productivity benefits and of potential infrastructure investment, and for linking infrastructure investment, users benefits, and succeeding economics development to provide a basis for rational policy formation. The results is a methodology that permits one to answer the question: What would be the economic impact A, the social impact B, the demographic impact C, and the land-use impact D, the environmental impact E, and the users benefits F over geographic scale G for an infrastructure investment H at time T? The approach is illustrated at both the regional and national levels.
