Scaling Infrastructure presents the proceedings of the second and final conference of MIT's Center for Advanced Urbanism biennial theme of infrastructure. The conference brought together political leaders, engineers, designers, and academics to investigate how critical the issues of appropriate infrastructural investments and scales have become to the future of urbanized territories when faced with new economic, political, and environmental challenges.
This companion volume to Infrastructural Monument explores the phenomenon of growing and shrinking cites in response to population shifts. How do we deal with cities like Detroit, whose once thriving population and economy have been drastically reduced, leaving a city built for a large capacity to adjust to this decline? Or how do cities grow quickly in response to greater demands for housing and transportation?

The question of infrastructure pervades global cities, especially those whose populations have grown and shrunk in the wake of evolving social, political, and economic shifts. The Center for Advanced Urbanism at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology explores this issue in Scaling Infrastructure, bringing together leading voices from politics, engineering, and design, whose diverse and distinct disciplinary perspectives combine to form a multifaced and dynamic commentary on the role of infrastructure in today's fluctuating urban landscapes. Case studies from around the world provide stepping stones for the development of global solutions. Authoritative, thought provoking, and optimistic, this volume presents ideas dedicated to the brighter future of the world's metropolitan areas --
