520 _aThe 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.
