About "The Nexus b/w Infrastructure and Environment" topic:

Infrastructure plays a crucial role in the drive for achieving development by providing energy, transportation, and water. There have been ups and downs in the degree of emphasis placed on infrastructure, but infrastructure has remained the largest component of the public investment programs in developing countries—two to six percent of gross domestic product (GDP).

Well-designed infrastructure can have positive impacts on the environment, which also is crucial for development. However, there is a dark side to infrastructural investments: they often lead to environmental degradation.
