Providing a comprehensive overview of the governance of urban
infrastructures, this Companion combines illustrative cases with
conceptual approaches to offer an innovative perspective on the
governance of large urban infrastructure systems. Contributions by
leading scholars in the field present a transdisciplinary approach
to the topic, with a global scope. Chapters examine the challenges
facing urban infrastructure systems, including financial, economic,
technological, social, ecological, jurisdictional and demand. Using
novel conceptualizations of urban infrastructure, and examining
global cases of specific energy, mobility, water, housing, green
and telecommunication systems, the Companion further illustrates
how these challenges are interrelated with their governance.
Finding efficiency, sustainability, and resilience to be key
governance performance indicators, it concludes by highlighting the
role that digitalization plays in making cities smarter and argues
for the potential of digitalization for large urban infrastructure
governance. With global significance, this Companion will be an
invaluable read for students and scholars of urban studies,
governance and infrastructure. The informative case studies will be
an excellent resource for city practitioners, officials and
policymakers.
