Infrastructure and Resources, Major Developmental Projects

Infrastructure includes underlying structures of a nation and its economy and encloses bridges, roads, sewer systems, and others. It refers to basic services and systems such as power supplies, transport, and others that countries and organisations use. Resources refer to physical materials that are essential for humans and possess a great value including air, water, and land. Resources can be classified into renewable sources that can replenish and non-renewable sources which have limited supply. Major developmental projects include national highways, building roads, important official buildings, and others. Developmental projects set up networks, tools, and organisations possessing impacts on development and synergy. 

Infrastructure and resources

Governance and social Infrastructure is responsible for social development, resources as per the human rights and promote business development for progressive society. It is also important for delivering goods and services to people and transport of people across nations. All of the infrastructures are man-made and provide services to people to live a good life. Infrastructure of businesses includes computing, network services, IT services, power, and energy management, transport, and others. Infrastructure can be of two different types such as social and economic infrastructure. 

Resources enclose renewable and nonrenewable sources and examples of renewable sources are water, air, and others whereas, oil, natural gases, and others are non-renewable sources. Both of the resources are used by humans in different aspects of life and in the case of making infrastructures these are essential. Non-renewable sources cannot be replenished whereas renewable sources can be replenished by the environment. 

Infrastructure: Definition

Infrastructure is considered a basic system of region, nation, and business, and the system tends to be high-cost investments and capital intensive. These are crucial for the development and prosperity of the economic condition of a nation. Infrastructure includes certain examples such as communication networks, transportation systems, sewage water, electric systems, and others. Projects that are related to infrastructure can be funded by private and public companies as well as “public-private partnerships”. Infrastructure that is based on a large scale is produced by public-regulated monopolies and public sectors. It can be produced on a small scale by different private firms and with the help of collective actions by locals. 

Major developmental projects and their uses

Developmental projects provide a livelihood to people and also provide services to them. Major development projects are responsible for delivering specific outputs for improving social and economic conditions of people in countries. Developmental projects include certain aims such as improvement of the economic conditions of nations and others. The project can be classified into different sectors such as public works, power development, irrigation, flood control, education, health, tourism, and others. Public works include constructions of different highways, up-gradation of existing projects, and others. Flood control, as well as irrigation, includes different planning regarding flood management, water supply, and others. 

Infrastructure: Classification

Infrastructure can be various types such as –

• Highways, roads, and streets
• Bridges
• Airports, airways
• Resources and water supply
• Waste management
• Telecommunications 
• Power generations

Infrastructure can also be classified through the utilisation of it in different areas such as economic infrastructure as well as social infrastructure. Additionally, examples of economic infrastructure are transport, energy, communication, and others. Infrastructure also assists citizens to get a healthy as well as a good livelihood by providing different services and delivering goods to them. It helps to connect and communicate with other parts of the country and provide services to different localities and communities. 

Conclusion

As a concluding note, it can be added that infrastructure, resources, and major development projects are intertwined and dependent. Infrastructure helps to improve the livelihood and lifestyles of people and it can be classified into social and economic sectors. Resources are essential in the case of creating infrastructure and its utilisation needs proper planning as there are limited sources and supplies for non-renewable energy. Major developmental projects in maximum cases are funded by the government and in minority cases funded by private companies in countries. These projects can be used for transportation of different goods for domestic and international purposes.
