The Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing, and Urban Development was restructured in September 2021 by His Excellency Mr. Hakainde Hichilema.

It was previously called the Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure Development having been created in September 2016 by the 6th President, His Excellency Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu.

However, in September 2021, following the creation and re-alignment of Ministries by President Hichilema to improve efficiency in government operations, one of the re-organization measures was the restructuring of the Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure Development to now be called the Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing, and Urban Development.
