The proposed collection departs from the observation that the existing
literature on post-socialist urban infrastructures is, firstly, mainly
focused on energy; secondly, scattered among multiple topics and,
thirdly, lacking relation to the existing and expanding theoretical
literature on infrastructures (e.g., Amin, 2014; Graham & Marvin,
2001; Graham & McFarlane, 2014).
This collection of articles aims to
provide a more comprehensive and theoretically-substantiated framework
regarding urban infrastructures, which have both been shaped by and have
contributed to shape the post-socialist transformation. Analysing
infrastructure is thus also a way to approach post-socialist cities more
generally.
