Post-Socialist Urban Infrastructures delve into the often overlooked yet crucial aspects of contemporary urban life, specifically focusing on infrastructures, and their connection to the process of post-socialist transformation. These infrastructures, as the framework of cities, encapsulate the intricate ways in which urban environments are constructed and urban experiences unfold. By centering on post-socialist cities, characterized by neoliberalization, polarization, and hybridity, this book presents fresh and enriching viewpoints on urban infrastructures by examining the often marginalized aspects of urban research, including transportation, green spaces, and water and heating provision.
Featuring cases from both Western and Eastern regions, the book showcases examples from Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Germany, Russia, Georgia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Tajikistan, and India. It offers original insights into the infrastructural underpinnings of post-socialist cities, appealing to scholars, planners, and activists engaged in urban geography, cultural and social anthropology, and urban studies.
Through its comprehensive exploration, Post-Socialist Urban Infrastructures shed light on the complex dynamics and evolving nature of urban spaces in the post-socialist era. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing the diverse needs and challenges faced by cities in this transition period, as well as the potential for innovative solutions and sustainable development. By highlighting the role of infrastructures in shaping urban experiences, this book contributes to a broader understanding of the complex interplay between society, politics, and the built environment in contemporary societies.
