I would replace workability with value.
I wouldn't. Any massive construction project has inherent value, even if it doesn't work as intended. You could keep workers employed for years, subsidiary jobs would be created (entertainment venues, restaurants, brothels, etc) near the work sites, tax revenues would increase - all of these things have value.
But I take your point: I'd sooner see the labour and capital invested in things like hospitals, homeless shelters, schools and the like - all of which would have more value and workability, any way you figure it.
