Urban Infrastructure
Physical Infrastructure
Although most infrastructure facilities are
physical in nature, only the types of
infrastructure facilities, which do not fall
into the other two categories, are included
in this category;
(e.g., roads, railways, bridges, transport
terminals, irrigation systems,
telecommunication networks, electricity
networks etc.)
Social Infrastructure
Types of infrastructure services, which
perform civic functions, and operated by
the local government or other government
authorities fall into this category.
(e.g., libraries, community centers,
schools, shopping centers, public markets,
vocational training centers, health centers
and clinics, etc.)
Environmental Infrastructure
With the growing concerns on the
conditions of peoples living environment,
some of the infrastructure facilities, which
were previously fall under the above two
categories are included here.
(e.g., water supply networks, waste water,
drainage and sewerage networks, waste
dumps and sanitary landfills, treatment
plants, etc.)
