infrastructure plans
Public works proposals
Infrastructure plans are proposals for building or improving the physical systems that support society—roads, bridges, power grids, water systems, broadband networks.
The term appears constantly in political discourse, where politicians promise ambitious infrastructure plans that may or may not materialize: The president unveiled a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan.
Such plans often become battlegrounds over spending priorities and what counts as infrastructure.
