Abstract- Infrastructure, encompassing both physical and social systems, forms the backbone of economic growth and social development. It is a critical enabler that facilitates the delivery of goods, services, and resources, fostering productive activities, enhancing connectivity, and supporting the overall functioning of societies. This article explores the pivotal role of infrastructure in development, analysing its contributions to economic growth, social well-being, and sustainable development while also considering challenges and future directions. As the world confronts new challenges such as climate change, rapid urbanization, and the digital revolution, future infrastructure investments will need to be innovative, resilient, and inclusive, helping to create a more prosperous and equitable global society.
