Infrastructure and Place

Infrastructure investment touches the lives of every person in Scotland and is an important part of our communities – from the homes we live in and the water, energy and telecommunication we consume, to how we travel to the places we work, shop and learn.

The Infrastructure Investment Plan 2021-22 to 2025-26 (IIP) plan focusses our investment in infrastructure on the transition to net zero emissions, driving inclusive economic growth and building resilient and sustainable places; and it shows how we will adopt and build on the recommendations of the Infrastructure Commission for Scotland’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 reports.

The Plan includes details of over £26 billion of projects and programmes, including investments that support better local places through community-led regeneration and town centre revitalisation; more suitable, warm, affordable homes; and more high quality social infrastructure such as more local and elective healthcare services and more investment in learning facilities.
