In this provocative volume, distinguished authorities on urban policy expose the myths surrounding today's "infrastructure crisis" in urban public works. Five in-depth papers examine the evolution of the public works system, the limitations of urban needs studies, the financing of public works projects, the impact of politics, and how technology is affecting the types of infrastructures needed for tomorrow's cities.

Les infrastructures sont partout. Comme leur nom l'indique, elles supportent nos vies quotidiennes, ce sont des ponts, des aéroports, des réseaux d'eau ou d'électricité, mais aussi des câbles sous-marins et des fermes de serveurs informatiques. Alors que l'on constate, en général, un clivage prononcé entre les chercheurs qui s'intéressent aux nouvelles infrastructures (autour du numérique) et les « fidèles » des infrastructures liées de prime abord à la première et la seconde révolution industrielle, les auteurs de cet ouvrage s'inscrivent indistinctement dans les deux groupes. Certains d'entre eux s'essaient même à explorer ce qu'il advient des infrastructures classiques à l'ère du numérique. Ce rapprochement permet d'approfondir ce qu'il y a de commun dans des infrastructures variées et de discuter de la pertinence de l'extension de la notion à d'autres domaines. Il permet également de souligner certaines évolutions partagées en particulier autour de l'affirmation de l'individu et de l'émergence d'une dimension politique jusque-là souvent enterrée, comme le sont bien des réseaux d'infrastructures.
