The Public Management is a field of knowledge and practice that involves the management of public services and resources. It is responsible for planning, organizing and controlling actions and public policies in different areas, including infrastructure. Effective public management is essential to ensure that the needs of the population are met and that public resources are used efficiently and effectively.

The infrastructure policies are a crucial aspect of public management. Infrastructure refers to the physical and organizational structures necessary for the functioning of a society or company, such as roads, bridges, water and sewage systems, schools, hospitals, among others. Infrastructure policies include the planning, construction, maintenance and improvement of these structures.

Effective public management in the area of ​​infrastructure involves several elements. First, careful planning is required. Public managers should identify the community's infrastructure needs and develop a plan to meet those needs. This could include building new structures, renovating existing structures, or implementing innovative technologies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the infrastructure.

Second, effective public management requires the proper allocation of resources. Building and maintaining infrastructure can be expensive, and public managers must ensure that public resources are used efficiently. This may involve seeking alternative funding sources, such as public-private partnerships, or implementing cost-saving measures.

Third, effective public management in the area of ​​infrastructure requires regular evaluation. Public managers must monitor infrastructure performance and make adjustments as necessary. This may involve carrying out regular inspections, collecting and analyzing data, and implementing improvements based on the results.
