1) The appeal of the content is broadly interdisciplinary and
informative to a range of readers, from practitioners and real
project stakeholders to academics, students, and scholars. 2) The
case sites vary in scale, scope and geography, from booming
American cities to those struggling with disinvestment. The cases
are also typological, allowing them to be broadly applicable to
other cities and sites. 3) The infrastructural categories also vary
in type including waterways, roads, rail, transit, energy, housing,
health and food. Every city is facing infrastructural crises of
some kind and can see their own challenges reflected in the content
of the text. 4) The methodologies include research and analysis
related to the cases directly, but also projective, speculative
thinking that explores the role of both innovation and design in
next generation infrastructure. Typically books are either focused
on design speculation or on the analysis of existing cases, but not
both. Cities are looking for creative solutions, and this text
provides bridges between real challenges and innovative thinking.
