Produktbeschreibung
This book critically examines the complex and multifaceted linkage between urban infrastructure and community resilience, delving into the politics and design of the built environment and the urban strategies shaping our cities. It explores how infrastructure--beyond its physical manifestations--serves as a conduit for social equity, environmental sustainability, and economic vitality. >Notably, the book foregrounds the delicate balance between preserving infrastructural heritage, current transition efforts, and envisioning sustainable urban scenarios. It also critically assesses the influential triad of governance, policy frameworks, and technological shifts in this transformation. Furthermore, the book delves into the socio-political dimensions of infrastructural development, examining how power dynamics, community engagement, and participatory planning influence the resilience and adaptability of urban systems. By integrating perspectives from urban studies, architecture, and social sciences, it offers a holistic understanding of how infrastructure serves not only as a physical framework but also as a catalyst for social cohesion and community empowerment. Through detailed case studies and theoretical analyses, the monograph provides valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and scholars interested in fostering inclusive and resilient urban environments.
