Financialising city infrastructure and governance

.

Chapter 2 in Financialising City Statecraft and Infrastructure, 2019, pp 31-77 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: City infrastructure is defined and conceptualised, situating the challenge of its funding, financing and governing in historical and geographical context. Critical review of existing work on city infrastructure financialisation identifies key gaps and constructs an understanding that recognises its social, spatial and institutional composition, unevenness, constraints, and ramifications. Engagement with financialising city infrastructure governance questions frameworks based upon archetypes and historical transformations given their limitations in explaining the current episode of mixing and mutating entrepreneurial, financialised and managerial urban governance. Financialisation is distilled to identify its characteristic dimensions and a new framework is provided for interpreting the financialising of city infrastructure and governance.
