The Ministry’s presentation drew heavily from the outcomes of the 2026 National Infrastructure Conference, bringing to the forefront the critical challenges posed by unregulated construction. To combat these persistent issues, the Ministry introduced a comprehensive set of regulations focused on strict zoning compliance and safety standards, supported by an ambitious Infrastructure Policy Roadmap extending through 2029. The anticipated endorsements include the adoption of the National Infrastructure Conference Report and the Policy Roadmap as the primary national framework. The Cabinet discussed the creation and reorganization of agencies dedicated specifically to urban planning, road networks, water management, and environmental protection. This policy shift also includes the institutionalization of the National Infrastructure Conference as a triennial event to ensure long-term planning consistency.
