Infrastructure - GCSE Geography Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Published

Infrastructure refers to the basic systems and structures that a country or community needs to function effectively. This includes things like roads, bridges, water supply, sewage systems, power lines, and public transportation. Infrastructure allows people to travel, communicate, and access essential services such as electricity and clean water. In geography, studying infrastructure helps us understand how different areas are connected and how they support the people living there. Good infrastructure is important for economic growth and improving people's quality of life.
