Drawing from the work of the scientific community, this chapter will examine the inter-linkages among infrastructure, inequality and resilience. The chapter will complement chapter 1 by going deeper into the analysis of policies, synergies and trade-offs at the level of a specific nexus. It aims to highlight and synthesize the main channels of interconnection among these areas and to synthesize the results of integrated scientific analyses of the synergies and trade-offs among them. The chapter will also examine how integrated planning and policy approaches have addressed synergies and trade-offs, and how inter-linkages could be better addressed in the future.

Key questions to be addressed:

• What are the most important inter-linkages among these SDG areas, and how are these linkages addressed in terms of policies?
• What are possible benefits and challenges of adopting more integrated approaches, and how has this been done in different contexts?
