What is infrastructure?

Simply put, it's the physical backbone of a community. It helps:

  • efficiently move people and goods and get them to where they need to be;
  • provide safe drinking water;
  • keep the air and water clean; and
  • offer public facilities for recreation, sports and culture.

Infrastructure is all around you: roads, sidewalks, public transportation systems, water treatment plants, museums and galleries, sports facilities, parks and trails, just to name a few.
