Infrastructure is one of those things that, if it’s done really well, you don’t really have to think about it. If your city has excellent public transportation, smooth roads, walkable neighborhoods, and animal-friendly parks, life is probably pretty good.
But if you’re constantly driving through potholes, waiting 40 minutes for a bus, or walking an hour for a journey that would have taken 5 minutes by car, you’re probably also complaining about your local government at every opportunity. It doesn’t have to be that way, though. We took a trip to an online community that is dedicated to celebrating some of the best infrastructure from all over the world. So enjoy scrolling through these photos, and be sure to upvote the things that you’d like to see in your own city!
