Redeploying Urban Infrastructure: The Politics of Urban Socio-Technical Futures 城市基础设施的重新部署

本书从城市基础设施的角度来探讨城市未来的形成。这本书描述了在继续努力实现城市的“可持续”转型过程中，如何重新制定能源和水供应的社会技术安排。它通过分析不同行动者与这些系统之间的转移能力和纠结，以及他们用来设想、实施和竞争变革的各种手段，以及新兴基础设施所带来的广泛的社会和政治影响，来批判性地调查基础设施是如何发挥作用的。真实过渡。在对斯德哥尔摩和巴黎的城市基础设施辩论和项目进行原始研究的基础上，作者提出了一个新的概念框架，用于研究和确认基础设施在构成城市转型的物质政治中的积极、重要作用。跨越对城市规划实践和系统和流量的社会技术工程的最新理论见解和实证研究，重新部署城市基础设施，将形成新的、及时的思考和观点，这将对日益增长的多学科社区感兴趣。研究基础设施的学者，以及关心了解城市未来更广泛政治的学者和实践者。
This book explores urban futures in the making, as seen through the lens of urban infrastructure. The book describes how socio-technical arrangements of energy and water provision are being recast in continuing efforts towards realising 'sustainable' transformation of cities. It critically investigates how infrastructure comes to matter by analyzing the shifting capacities and entanglements of diverse actors with these systems, the various means they use to envision, enact and contest changes, and the wide-ranging social and political implications of emerging infrastructure transitions. Drawing on original research into urban infrastructure debates and projects in Stockholm and Paris, the author develops a novel conceptual framework for studying and acknowledging the active, vital role of infrastructure in constituting a material politics of urban transformation. Straddling the latest theoretical insights and empirical investigation of urban planning practice and socio-technical engineering of systems and flows, Redeploying Urban Infrastructure forges new, timely reflections and perspectives which will be of interest to the growing multidisciplinary community of scholars investigating infrastructure and to academics and practitioners with a concern for understanding the wider politics of urban futures.
