infrastructure development
Creating foundational structures
Infrastructure development is the process of building or improving the fundamental systems a society relies on—roads, bridges, power grids, water supplies, telecommunications networks.
The term appears constantly in policy discussions and economic planning: The bill allocates billions for infrastructure development.
It can also apply to organizational foundations: We're focused on infrastructure development before we scale up.
