infrastructure — English
The stock of fixed assets and capital equipment, including factories, roads, schools, railways, water reticulation networks, landing strips, communication networks, power lines, all manner of buildings and built structures, and all the human-made (anthropogenic) assets in a country, region, city or area. Infrastructure is considered as a determinant of economic growth. Economic growth is positively correlated with human-made assets – the more assets (infrastructure) there are in an area or place, the higher is its level of economic development. Infrastructure is both a prerequisite for and a result of industrial and economic development.
