Infrastructure

Infrastructure refers to the fundamental facilities and systems that support the economy and functioning of a society. This includes physical structures such as transportation systems (roads, bridges, airports), utilities (water supply, wastewater management, electricity, and telecommunications), and public institutions (schools, hospitals, and government buildings). Infrastructure is essential for enabling and enhancing commerce, communication, and overall quality of life. It serves as the backbone for various services and is crucial for economic growth and development. Strong infrastructure is necessary for efficient functioning of businesses, ensuring access to education and healthcare, and improving social welfare. The term can also extend to digital infrastructure, which encompasses the underlying technology systems necessary for information technology and communication services.
