Post-Socialist Urban Infrastructures critically elaborates on often forgotten, but some of the most essential, aspects of contemporary urban life, namely infrastructures, and links them to a discussion of post-socialist transformation.As the skeletons of cities, infrastructures capture the ways in which urban environments are assembled and urban lives unfold. Focusing on post-socialist cities, marked by neoliberalisation, polarisation and hybridity, this book offers new and enriching perspectives on urban infrastructures by centering on the often marginalised aspects of urban research - transport, green spaces, and water and heating provision.Featuring cases from West and East alike, the book covers examples from Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Germany, Russia, Georgia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Tajikistan, and India. It provides original insights into the infrastructural back end of post-socialist cities for scholars, planners and activists interested in urban geography, cultural and social anthropology, and urban studies.

Often forgotten as an important political site for social contacts, public opinion, democracy, freedom and openness — characteristics which are frequently ascribed to streets and squares — this accessible and novel open access study puts public transport at the heart of political debates about public space. Public transport can be an intensely sensory experience, leaving impressions both favourable and unfavourable on its users, and gathering around itself an extensive archive of representations since the early 19th-century. Bringing together contributions from a range of key scholars and public intellectuals, as well as literary texts, this volume offers a richly illustrated commentary on public transport as public space which combines theoretical analysis and practical case studies.The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
