Synopsis

An introduction to the role of the different distributional infrastructure systems that underpin life in modern cities. Examines in turn each of the five sets of infrastructure - energy, transport, telecommunications, water, and waste - that support Newcastle upon Tyne. Concludes by arguing that we should take a more integrated view of infrastructure provision and management.
