“The book is particularly valuable for academics and practitioners who are working to change infrastructure systems to realise more sustainable cities. … The book is a valuable contribution to the study of urban infrastructure and highlights the messy contradictions and tensions of contemporary cities while providing suggestions for how these dynamics might be steered towards improved urban futures.” (Andrew Karvonen, Buildings & Cities, April 15, 2020)
