Understanding Urban Infrastructure Through a Geographical Lens

Urban infrastructure consists of the basic facilities and services needed to support a city’s population, such as roads, bridges, water supply, and sanitation systems. Through geography, we can better understand how these components are planned, constructed, and maintained in different urban areas around the world.

Geography helps us see how factors like population, land use patterns, and natural resources influence the development of urban infrastructure. By teaching your students about these connections, they can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing cities as they grow and evolve. Understanding urban infrastructure through geography allows students to see how cities function as interconnected systems, and how they impact our everyday lives.

Through this teacher-guided resource, your students will gain an understanding of the following:

Purpose of urban infrastructure
Types of infrastructure
Significance in promoting economic development, maintaining public health, and enhancing overall well-being
Explore infrastructures around the world

Also included is a carousel activity and PowerPoint game!
