The Interconnection of Design and Infrastructure

Infrastructure cannot be separated from design, as both elements significantly influence the human experience. Many perceive infrastructure simply as a technical issue managed by engineers and policymakers, but every infrastructure project has design aspects that impact how people engage with these spaces. Public buildings, roads, and other infrastructures incorporate design choices that determine functionality and accessibility for users. It is essential for municipalities to critically assess design decisions to ensure infrastructure serves community needs and enhances the quality of life.
