Scenarios about 'public works'
Public works refers to infrastructure projects constructed for public use and funded by government entities, including roads, bridges, dams, schools, and water systems. Throughout history, these projects have served as economic stimulants during downturns, provided essential services to populations, and demonstrated state power and organizational capacity. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to public works often reflect divergent political philosophies, technological development paths, and resource allocation priorities.
