Abstract: The environment of infrastructure location decision-making is in a flux: new thinking, ideologies, social and environmental awareness coupled with political expediencies and economic imperatives are constantly changing the weights of factors considered in location decision making. As expected, existing models built on the pillars of profit maximisation and assumption of homo economicus—though still important—no longer capture the reality of the present situation in infrastructure location decisions. This article traces the trends in infrastructure (facility) location decision modelling and identifies productive areas of research that incorporate the oft-neglected factors of environment, politics and socio-cultural values into the location decision models.
