Edited collection on “Post‐Socialist Urban Infrastructures” for Routledge’s Planning and Urban Design book series 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. 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. It focuses on the interplay of infrastructure politics, discourses and materialities, with a following research themes: 1) Politics of urban infrastructures; 2) Discourses of urban infrastructures; 3) The materiality of urban infrastructures. The papers bring empirical and theoretical insights in the discussion around postsocialist and post‐Soviet infrastructure, by providing evidence from the region itself and by providing comparative perspectives from other regions. In doing so, the contributions focus on one of the following types of infrastructure: Transport infrastructure, Green urban infrastructures and Housing as ‘infrastructured’.
