3. The Definition and Centrality of the Built Environment • The term built environment refers to the structures, and infrastructure, that are made by humans. • Built Environment “ every structure that is humanly created, modified, or constructed, arranged, or maintained. • Construction is the broad process/mechanism for the creation of infrastructure that supports development. • The built environment (which includes buildings, infrastructure, and transportation, energy and telecommunications networks and equipment) plays a crucial role in societies and economies . • The provincial and local governments alike allocate considerable financial, technical and human resources for construction, management and maintenance of the built environment to ensure its physical integrity and durability. • Our dependence on various infrastructure, and the high degree of interdependence between different types of infrastructure, makes us more vulnerable when they break down or fail.  • Depending on their location, some infrastructure and segments of networks can be critical; a system or infrastructure failure can result in serious consequences for the population and country, countries and the whole continent. • In South Africa, BE environment skills are at the centre of govt’s infrastructure roll-out programme, also, the BE products that are at the centre of service delivery protests.
