Beyond the Networked City: Infrastructure reconfigurations and urban change in the North and South

Cities are in the midst of monumental transformations as they adapt to the nuances of our global era. Olivier Coutard and Jonathan Rutherford dive deep into the dynamic interplay between infrastructure and urban life, shedding light on how these changes manifest in both the North and the South.

With insightful analysis, they articulate the ways different regions are reconfiguring their urban landscapes, influenced by technology, policy, and community needs. The authors offer a thoughtful exploration of how these shifts not only reshape physical spaces but also impact social relationships and the environment.

Through a blend of rich examples and theoretical perspectives, Coutard and Rutherford invite readers to reflect on the future of urban living. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex forces driving urban change around the globe.
