This edited collection, focusing on the material and social aspects of infrastructure, delves into rich empirical insights from cities across the global North and South. It encourages readers to contemplate the diverse ways in which infrastructure emerges in cities and its interconnected relationships with urban residents and broader processes of urbanization. By examining the past, present, and future of infrastructures, the book argues that understanding these aspects is crucial in addressing the current urban condition, particularly in the context of climate emergencies, economic transformations, public health crises, and racialized inequality.
The book explores various themes, including the historical legacies of infrastructure, the role of infrastructure in shaping urban spaces, and the challenges and opportunities associated with infrastructure development and management. It also examines the ways in which infrastructure intersects with other social and environmental issues, such as sustainability, equity, and resilience.
Through a combination of theoretical perspectives and case studies, the collection offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of urban infrastructure and its impact on urban life. It provides policymakers, urban planners, and practitioners with a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing the challenges and opportunities of urban infrastructure in the 21st century.
Overall, this edited collection is a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in urban infrastructure, urbanization, and the broader social and environmental implications of infrastructure development.
