Chapter 2 in Urban Infrastructure, 2023, pp 43-71 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter deals with the issue of globalization of cities and a distinction between them within a grid of emerging and developed countries and their subdivision into income levels. The thesis is that even within a globalization, urban infrastructure differs according to whether the concept of urbanization or urban consolidation is applied or as Brenner defined it at the beginning of this century for western cities: glocalization or interscalar of urban region. The urban infrastructure finds a different meaning or declination when referring to the greenfield phenomenon more consistent with rapid urbanization; or brownfield more connected with the urban consolidation of western cities. The term greenfield or brownfield infrastructure can also be coined, the latter more in keeping with western global cities. The content of the book focuses more on brownfields infrastructure.
