Definition(s)

  • Infrastructure is a wide-ranging term that describes the underlying framework and structural characteristics of a location or activity. Generally it refers to such tangible and physical facilities as buildings, equipment, roads, bridges, harbors, rail networks, airports, communications, gas and electrical power, flood control, healthcare, education, police and fire protection, water, and sanitation, but it can also be used to represent more elusive concepts such as organizational structures, knowledge, monetary exchange, property rights, social customs, and other institutional characteristics.
