Managers make decisions on how to protect and restore environmental systems, along with associated ecosystem services. Ideally, these decisions are made with the support of predictive models, built on a sound understanding of how the system works, validated with data and accompanied by credible estimates of uncertainty. However, in many cases data are scarce or non-existent, understanding of key processes is limited, and disturbances such as land-use change or invasive species may be fundamentally altering the way the system functions.

The dynamics of critical urban infrastructure services is the outcome of the capacity of the infrastructure system to deliver natural resources, as managed by utilities and other management entities. This includes the supply of citizens with food, energy and water as built and managed by multiple, interdependent, critical infrastructure systems (physical infrastructure), and operated by socio- economic institutions. Urban institutions use financial and political capitals to build robust infrastructure, and maintain it to provide reliable and cost-effective critical services.

Marriott Student Review
A bridge brings together two pieces, which normally would not connect. Without the connecting link, those two sections would be separate. For example, a bridge between two landmasses gives travelers access to new locations, new vistas, and possibly even new opportunities.

The connection needs to be maintained and inspected regularly for cracks, fissures, or signs of wear that should be fixed immediately. In this issue of Marriott Student Review, the authors have explored the bridges built in business and the importance of maintaining those connections.
