This document discusses the importance of infrastructure for economic development and quality of life. It notes that Peru has a large infrastructure gap compared to other countries with similar incomes, estimated at $110 billion or 54% of GDP. Improving infrastructure requires significant investment and detailed planning from civil engineers. The objectives are to analyze how infrastructure has developed historically through improved engineering techniques, and to determine the current functions and purposes of infrastructure.

INTRODUCTION
Infrastructure allows the development of countries and help increase wealth of these.
Planning these is a fundamental aspect and requires a very detailed study since the economic
outlays are very important.
Investment in infrastructure is one of the main drivers of economic growth and a
condition necessary to improve the quality of life of the citizens of Peru.
Peru has a low provision of infrastructure in comparison with other countries of similar
incomes. Thus, it is estimated that the long-term infrastructure gap in the country amounts to
US$ 110 billion, which is equivalent to 54% of the national GDP in 2020. This The problem is
due to the limited capacity of the State to invest in infrastructure and inefficient use of available
resources.

1.1. OBJECTIVES
1.1.1. OBJECTIVE GENERAL
Analyze the importance of infrastructure and how it has developed as engineering
improved its techniques and methodologies in buildings.
1.1.2. OBJECTIVES SPECIFICS
Determine how the infrastructure evolved throughout history and what participation civil
engineering had as part of is development.
Determine what function the infrastructure fulfills today and what purposes are being
achieved.
