“…Dans ces dernières, les réseaux sont considérés comme des « systèmes sociotechniques », c'est-à-dire comme des assemblages composés d'objets techniques et d'acteurs humains enchâssés dans des relations sociales qui s'influencent réciproquement et ne peuvent pas être compris séparément (Hughes, 1993). Ces travaux montrent que la forme de distribution en grand réseau centralisé est indissociable du processus de développement des villes en Europe et en Amérique du Nord, si bien que leur fonctionnement contemporain en est fortement dépendant (Dupuy et Tarr, 1988 ;Offner et Pumain, 1996 ;Lorrain, 2001 ;Coutard, 2008). En particulier, ils mettent en avant une logique de diffusion de ces infrastructures à l'ensemble des espaces urbains : la croissance du réseau prime et la production qu'il vise à distribuer doit suivre.…”

“…Many infrastructure networks remain siloed and splintered from each other (Graham and Marvin, 2001). Although officials know how to organize and regulate individual networks in isolation, a modern challenge is to understand, coordinate and manage multiple systems as a holistic whole (Lorrain, 2001). over water shortages due to climate change are leading to compelling arguments for a stronger coupling of the water and energy sectors which could "present resource synergies with reciprocal effects ranging from the global to the local scale" (Moss, Naumann and Krause, 2017: 280).…”

The 'integration' of infrastructures has emerged as a central discourse in how future technical networks should be designed, delivered and managed to cope with the challenges of urbanisation and climate change. However, just how a nation state or an urban region can achieve this 'integration' is unclear. Infrastructural networks differ greatly across regions, nation states and continents, and the differences in how these networks are governed and structured is often overlooked. This paper is an attempt to kick-start a discussion on the meanings and implications of infrastructure integration and to examine how it may occur in practice. The paper has two broad objectives. First, to examine the features of infrastructure integration and to categorise theoretical definitions into five forms -organisational, technological, sectoral, geographic and social. Second, to link academic discussions on infrastructural futures to longstanding debates on the institutional and regulatory variations between nations. This paper examines the institutional differences of three Western countries -the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany -and attempts to explore how variations in the concept of the state, relationships with cities, local authorities and citizens, and differing socio-economic cultures may influence and shape the potential for infrastructure integration.

“…The surge of interest in infrastructure questions has involved a shift from conventional treatments organized around technical and engineering discussions to more recent approaches that emphasize the social character of infrastructure formations (Tarr and Dupuy 1988; Kaika and Swyngedouw 2000;Lorrain 2001). Much of this new social interest in infrastructure stems from the recognition that many processes, structures and practices in modern life are mediated through or made possible by infrastructure (Geels 2004;Guy et al 2010;Furlong 2011;Rutherford 2011).…”

The Australian government is constructing a National Broadband Network (NBN), which at an estimated cost of $43 billion will be Australia's largest ever infrastructure project. The NBN, if its full benefits are to be realized, raises a number of important, but largely unexplored, questions for planning. This paper investigates the implications of the NBN for Australian metropolitan planning focusing on the question of how these plans will exploit the NBN to improve urban outcomes. The paper examines the Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane metropolitan areas and analyses the strategies shaping the future of these regions during the rollout and implementation of the NBN. This comparative analysis reveals similarities across these three metropolitan areas in their weak stance towards the NBN. Some key findings include:(1) a segregation of infrastructure planning and metropolitan planning; (2) a lack of consistency between different policies within each metropolitan area and (3) policy gaps regarding the role of telecommunications at the metropolitan level. Considering the number of governments worldwide that are making large investments in high-speed broadband, this paper addresses policy issues that will impact upon metropolitan planning well beyond the borders of Australia.
