‘The Elgar Companion to Urban Infrastructure Governance is an impressive collection of contributions on a variety of highly relevant topics. The editors have managed to produce a volume that covers timely issues in infrastructure governance and planning (such as digitalization, climate resilience, metropolitan governance and urban mobility). Remarkably, authors and cases are from all over the globe and the chapters are grounded in new scholarship. This is one of the most complete statements on urban infrastructure and enhances substantially our knowledge on urban governance and the provision of urban infrastructures.’
