Notably, too, infrastructure studies have drawn attention to the utopianism of many projects.
Infrastructure studies tend to emphasize the hidden and invisible aspects of infrastructure, as being 'sunk into, inside of, other structures, social arrangements, and technologies' (Bowker & Star, 2000: 35).
If aesthetics influence general social acceptability of elevated transit infrastructure, studies on the visual assessments that combine the views of the infrastructure with the views from the infrastructure might lead to a new appreciation of the infrastructure and, consequently, to the smoothness of the planning process.
Standards are an important focus in infrastructure studies because they serve as gateways between disparate sociotechnical systems and thereby support the linking of systems into networks that might catalyse change and shape an existing social order (Slota & Bowker, 2017).
The analysis is grounded in the interdisciplinary theories of governance, socio-ecological systems, infrastructure studies, and multilevel politics, with sources derived from scientific databases including Scopus and Science Direct advanced query.
I consider some of the limitations of previous infrastructure studies: these are (1) a lack or shortage of information, (2) failing to consider an integral variable for infrastructure, (3) failing to address adequate causal relationships, and (4) trend removal in the time series of the individual infrastructure stocks.
We find that the planted woodland, scrubland and grassland can increase the supply of multiple ecosystem services not accounted for in previous green infrastructure studies, although the magnitude of change differs with the type of vegetation, initial conditions and timeframes of the assessment.
One of the difficulties of the studies in the English-language literature to date is that the range of infrastructure studied is small compared to the range of configurations used between and within jurisdictions.
The government must urgently establish a strategic authority to oversee the future growth of Britain's ageing energy infrastructure, a study argues on Tuesday.
In terms of rebuilding Haiti's homes, schools, roads and other infrastructure, the study released Tuesday said, the cost is expected to be many times lower than that of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, a result of the far higher costs of property in the United States.
