By strategic facilities, Steiss (architecture and urban studies, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State U.) means relatively large-scale, fixed capital assets having a relatively long life, funded by expenditures of a non-recurring nature, and designed to provide new or expanded government capacity to deliver public services. Because such projects represent a very large investment, are difficult to modify once they are built, and exert their effects over many decades, a systematic planning effort is vital in making decisions about construction and financing. He examines that planning process.
