1988 - World Bank - Road Deterioration in Developing Countries: Causes and Remedies

This report was released the by the World Bank shortly after HDM-III. It is an important policy document which gives an overview of the state of road networks, the options for maintaining roads, and the consequences of not maintaining them, before moving on to the institutional challenges and financial requirements. It was essentially a \'wake up\' call for road owners on the need to do something to prevent their infrastructure from being a constraint on economic development and growth.
