Coda"ReviewsThis essential and standard setting guide to the post-networked city maps the emerging terrain of, and develops the analytical lexicon for, the study of infrastructures in our urbanizing world. Roger Keil, York Research Chair in Global Sub/Urban Studies, Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University, Canada This book challenges the persistent model - and myth - of the `networked city' providing universal services to all via single, large-scale socio-technical systems. The impressive collection of thought-provoking chapters unpacks the modernist infrastructural ideal and maps out in its place not some alternative paradigm, but a rich tableau of socio-material hybridisation, co-existence and contestation happening in cities across the globe. In the light of growing intellectual curiosity to read the city through its infrastructure, the book sets a new front marker in scholarship on the city/infrastructure relationship - empirically, conceptually and analytically - and in doing so opens up exciting new perspectives on the urban condition.
