Infrastructure

Infrastructure refers to the fundamental facilities and systems that support the functioning, growth, and development of a society or organization. This includes a wide range of physical structures and services such as transportation systems (roads, bridges, and airports), utilities (water supply, sewage, electricity, and telecommunications), and public institutions (schools, hospitals, and emergency services). Infrastructure is essential for economic activity as it enables the movement of people and goods, facilitates communication, and enhances the quality of life. It is often categorized into two main types: hard infrastructure, which involves physical constructions, and soft infrastructure, which includes services that maintain and enhance the effective operation of hard infrastructure. Effective infrastructure is crucial for promoting social well-being, ensuring connectivity, and fostering economic development.
