It's no typo - We expand Infrastructure Awareness and understanding of Modernity with the Human Era perspective, acknowledging the 10,000 years Humans have been living alongside a built environment, dating back to the discovery of our very first 'city'. Developed over countless civilizations, with urbanization increasing evermore, it is time for the next infrastructure evolution.
