The case study provides a summary of the analysis and results from the report, including the projections generated up to 2035 that analyze the short, medium and longer-term consequences of road construction and from these, how a green economy approach over a business as usual approach is not only the most sustainable choice, but also the more economical choice in the long term, that helps healthy economies and societies to grow.
