URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE

Established cities must build, maintain, and upgrade extensive transport, power, water and telecommunication networks, in order to keep up with the demands of economic development and population growth. This infrastructure is necessary to continue to progress societies and improve living standards.

URBANIZATION

Urbanization refers to an increasing proportion of a population residing in urban areas in comparison to rural areas. When properly planned and managed, urbanization can reduce poverty and inequality by improving employment opportunities and quality of life, including through better education and health.

URBAN GROWTH

Urban growth is utilized as an indicator for a countries or an area’s economic condition as well as development. The growth of urban areas is often influenced by certain factors such as surplus resources, development of infrastructure, commercialization, education, and mining, among others.

Urban Infrastructure: Keeping Economies and People Healthy

Avoiding the potential negative economic consequences of insufficient or failing infrastructure should therefore be considered a core business and societal concern – one that requires long-term planning and investment.
