Reconnecting Asia maps new linkages—roads, railways, and other infrastructure—that are reshaping economic and geopolitical realities across the continent. Through data curation and objective analysis, the project aims to fill Asia’s infrastructure-information gap, squaring lofty ambitions with facts on the ground. Our methodology explains the science and art behind these efforts. Reconnecting Asia is made possible by a start-up grant from the Brzezinski Institute on Geostrategy and the expertise of the leadership, research, advisory, and development teams below, and the valuable insights of our partners.
