Infrastructure in the UAE is extremely well developed following a period of rapid progress that saw the construction of residential, tourism, industrial and commercial facilities on a massive scale, radically altering the urban environment in the UAE. At the same time, reassessment of the country's needs and the realities of global markets have refocussed the UAE’ s imaginative development plans, which continue to be spearheaded by far-reaching urban planning initiatives such as Abu Dhabi’s Emirate-wide Vision 2030. Nevertheless, infrastructure in education and health care, tourist facilities, electricity and water generation, telecommunications, ports and airports continue to receive a major injection of capital. New roads and bridges are being constructed and public transport systems installed. Business Monitor International estimates that the UAE is currently investing Dh213 billion (US58 billion) on roads and bridges alone, including projects underway and in the planning stage.
A recent WEF report (Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report) has rated the UAE's infrastructure as among the best in the world. The country came second in quality of roads, third in quality of air transport, fifth in port infrastructure and eight in ground transport network
