• 1. Beyond the networked city: an introduction 2. Changing sanitation infrastructure in Hanoi: hybrid topologies and the networked city 3. Beyond the networked city, the hyper-networked city? Decline and renaissance of the Parisian non-potable water system (1820-2020) 4. District heating comes to ecotown: zero carbon housing and the rescaling of UK energy provision 5. Rethinking universality and disrepair: seeking infrastructure coexistence in Quibdó, Colombia 6. De-networking the poor: revanchist urbanism and hydrological apartheid in Mumbai 7. Another urban infrastructure is possible: contesting energy and water networks in Berlin 8. A political economy of urban solid waste management in emerging countries: learning from Vitória (Brazil) and Coimbatore (India) 9. Is the network challenged by the pragmatic turn in African cities? Urban transition and hybrid delivery configurations 10. Enabling urban energy: governance of innovation in two UK cities 11. Volumetric urbanism: artificial "outsides" reassembled "inside" 12. Infrastructures and practices: networks beyond the city 13. Coda

"This 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."Dr. Timothy Moss, Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space (IRS), Erkner, Germany
