Infrastructure development is one of the important pillars in promoting economic growth and improving the well-being of the people. Good infrastructure not only supports economic growth, but also affects the quality of social life of people. One of the biggest positive impacts of infrastructure development is improved accessibility and mobility. With good highways, bridges, and transportation systems, people can easily access a variety of services and markets. This not only accelerates the distribution of goods and services, but also opens up new opportunities for local business operators. Better access allows companies to expand their market reach and make it easier for citizens to get the products and services they need.
The National Strategic Project (PSN) has become a major focus in infrastructure development efforts and economic growth in various regions of Indonesia. The economic benefits of the project can be equal and sustainable, thanks to efforts to strengthen local economic capacity, through the empowerment of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and skills training for the local workforce.
The government is committed to creating national connectivity to support economic growth and the expansion of development degradation. One of these attempts was made in the Jabotabek area on the construction of the Tol Cimanggis-Cibitung road. The Vice President, K.H. Ma’ruf Amin said that Tol Cimanggis-Cibitung which is also one of these PSNs, will boost the efficiency and effectiveness of economic activities in this region which will subsequently contribute to regional and national economic development.
A high level of accessibility will boost the region’s competitiveness, attract investment and create new jobs, thereby positively affecting the economy of the surrounding communities. PT Sarana Multi Infrastructure (Persero) Chief Director Edwin Syahruzad said his party will continue to support sustainable development and accelerated growth through innovative sustainable solutions in building a better future for Indonesia.
Good infrastructure can stimulate local economic growth by creating new jobs and attracting investment. Infrastructure development such as industrial centers, trade areas, and technology facilities can attract new companies to invest in the area. These investments are often accompanied by job creation, which in turn increases public income and reduces unemployment.
Adequate infrastructure also contributes to improving the quality of life of people. Facilities such as stable clean water, sanitation, and electricity systems play an important role in public health and well-being. Good health and education infrastructure ensures better access to quality health services and education, which can improve the overall standard of living.

In the modern era, it is important to pay attention to the environmental impact of infrastructure development. Sustainable development focuses not only on economic efficiency but also on environmental protection. Environmentally friendly infrastructure, such as renewable energy systems and green transport, can reduce negative environmental impacts and ensure that economic growth does not damage ecosystems.
The move of the New Capital is also one of the efforts and steps of the government in developing the socio-economic community. The member of the II Commission of the DPR RI, Son Agung Bagus Adhi Mahendra Putra said that the first phase of ICT development has had a positive impact on the development of the local economy. This can be seen from the development of the surrounding residential community that has been much renovated into a livable house as well as the economic slump of the community is very visible. The development of ICT has a positive impact on economic activity in the region, Society that was once difficult to get a job now many have income as workers in ICT including vehicle rental services.
In addition to the Southern Kalimantan region also supports the process of economic development of the region, the Department of Public Works and Space Planning of the Province of Southern Kalimantan also organized Socialization and Reconciliation of the Marga Building Regulations with the theme of Management of Road Development and Inner Bridges Supporting the Development of the Area.
The head of the Kalsel PUPR Service, Ahmad Solhan said that the construction of road and bridge infrastructure not only smoothed the transportation and distribution of goods, but also became a major driver in economic growth and deployment of development throughout the region. Improving the quality and management of construction of roads and bridges infrastructure in the region is very important. As the region develops, adequate infrastructure is needed to keep the transportation and distribution of goods smooth.
Infrastructure development is a vital long-term investment to boost economic growth and improve people’s well-being. Despite the challenges, with mature planning, public involvement, and the use of technology, infrastructure development can have a significant positive impact on the social and economic development of a country. From improved accessibility and mobility, to boosting local economic growth and improving the quality of life, the benefits of infrastructure are obvious. However, it is important to ensure that infrastructure development is carried out with a view to sustainability and environmental impact so that the benefits can be by future generations. With the right approach, infrastructure development can be the key to creating a more prosperous and prosperous society.
