Interdisciplinary studies; Urban communities; Human geography; Urban & municipal planning

Whether waiting for the train or planning the future city, infrastructure orders - and depends on - multiple urban temporalities.

This agenda-setting volume disrupts conventional notions of time through a robust examination of the relations between temporality, infrastructure, and urban society. Conceptually rich and empirically detailed, its interdisciplinary dialogue encompasses infrastructural systems including transportation, energy, and water to bridge often-siloed technical, political-economic and lived perspectives.

With global coverage of diverse cities and regions from Berlin to Jayapura, this book is an essential provocation to re-evaluate urban theory, politics, and practice and better account for the temporal complexities that shape our infrastructured worlds.

Reviews for Infrastructural Times: Temporality and the Making of Global Urban Worlds

“This interdisciplinary collection does vital work in shifting the predominant spatial framing of infrastructure to its temporalities. Through 13 engaging chapters, the multiple temporalities of the urban-regional infrastructures that sustain society and economy are charted.” Rob Kitchin, Maynooth University
