"The City Implant is an urban design project that can be used to strengthen an existing center or create a new one. It is a spatial and programmatic upgrade that gives an area the status of a center or increases the density of an existing center. Rather than intervening in undeveloped land, a City Implant should be a transformer of empty land and even under-exploited traffic junctions. A City Implant should describe the quality of centrality itself." Alex Wall "Boomtown v. Regiocity: Thinking and designing or the Networked City Region." (Almy, 286) Transportation infrastructures across the United States create issues with urban planning and design and the general operations of life that occur around them. As much as they sponsor movement and transport, they impede the ability to perceive cohesive identities of urban landscape. Rusted, decaying, impassable walls of infrastructure are imbedded all across the nation's landscape. The availability and necessity of transportation and increased mobility in the times of planners such as Robert Moses, gave transportation infrastructure the title of progress and innovation. In the wake of this progress, the impact that the infrastructure has on the landscape that supports it has often been ignored. This gives rise to divided and undesirable landscapes that too often are inhabited by un-mediating programs and wastelands of uninhabitable space. Communities outside thriving civic centers are often divided into regions of un-integrated commercial, residential and industrial land that has developed haphazardly around the large systems of infrastructure as opposed to around a thriving city center. Areas of "frozen-space" arise in "in-between" places, and it is the crucial role of architecture to re-connect and give value to these places through the creation of vital paths and public spaces. Architecture has the potential to intervene (to be "implanted") within pre-existing infrastructural elements in such a way as to create valuable space. In doing so, it can regenerate and strengthen an otherwise derelict urban environment by providing scalar mediation and new programming. The resulting condition could support the creation of public space while allowing for future growth and development in creating vital links between public spaces and programs otherwise divided by the infrastructure. In 1893, a railroad network was put in place in Massachusetts, stemming from the center of Boston and radiating to major metropolitan areas to the South and to the West. The Massachusetts government wanted to be at the forefront of those trying to take hold of the power and potential of the steam locomotive, harnessing it to allow for maximum travel and importation of goods. In 1950, the SouthEast Expressway was built. These two elements have had limitless impact upon the communities which they invade (Kennedy, 34). Setting up a framework that mediates the edge where the city meets transportation fabric, creates possibilities of new opportunities, where once there was a barrier. The site of Dorchester, Massachusetts is a place that is a manifestation of the divide that has been created by the infrastructure. On the one side of the train tracks and highway infrastructure is a dense neighborhood void of green space and significant identity. On the other, is a peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic called Harbor Point. Located on Harbor Point are the UMASS, Boston campus, the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library, a mixed use housing development with walkable amenities and a diverse coastline. As is typical with much of the Boston terrain, Harbor point was added as infill in 1930. Though physically connected to the mainland of the Dorchester neighborhood, it maintains this identity of separate part and piece. I want to attach onto that which has divided the area, the infrastructure. I want to use the idea of the train, the way in which it facilitates accessibility and mobility and use it to spur future growth of the area. The nature of the infrastructure that has created an environment for the train and automobile that is out of scale with the human body that utilizes it on a regular basis. I want to use this infrastructure to create an intervention that reclaims areas divided by impassable barriers.

Based on the authors' long-term field research on low-skilled labor migration from China and Indonesia, this article establishes that more than ever labor migration is intensively mediated. Migration infrastructure – the systematically interlinked technologies, institutions, and actors that facilitate and condition mobility – serves as a concept to unpack the process of mediation. Migration can be more clearly conceptualized through a focus on infrastructure rather than on state policies, the labor market, or migrant social networks alone. The article also points to a trend of "infrastructural involution," in which the interplay between different dimensions of migration infrastructure make it self-perpetuating and self-serving, and impedes rather than enhances people's migratory capability. This explains why labor migration has become both more accessible and more cumbersome in many parts of Asia since the late 1990s. The notion of migration infrastructure calls for research that is less fixated on migration as behavior or migrants as the primary subject, and more concerned with broader societal transformations.
Opponents of states and capital must be prepared to defend ourselves. To understand the nature of the state is to know that it will attack to kill when and where it feels a threat to its authority and power. But the struggles against exploitation, oppression, and repression must also move to the offensive. With the emboldening of reactionary forces on the far Right, there has been a renewed focus on issues of community self-defense, not only against the violence of the state but against organized fascists and Right-wing vigilantes alike. There has also been a developing seriousness, particularly among anarchist and antifascist, or antifa, activists. The goal of all anarchism is not to eliminate violence in social struggle (a futile and impossible pursuit given the nature of the state), but to limit the amount, degree, and extent of violence and harm inflicted by state agents, and their vigilante supporters, on the poor, oppressed, and exploited. And this is part of the emphasis on insurrectionary infrastructures. Non-material (emotional) and material resources and spaces are necessary to defend communities and workplaces under attack, but also to organize possible, and necessary, offensives. Insurrectionary Infrastructures reflects on strategies and tactics of rebellion and resistance and offers suggestions for fighting to win

Figurations of body, community, and politics traversed India and the Ottoman world along the artificial coaling archipelago that connected both via legal islands of extraterritoriality and other technologies in the Red Sea. Examining this system and the ethnic groups that operated and subverted it reveals how minority formation and other forms of making community and autonomy were linked to processes of anatomization and a rearticulation of ideas about race, blood, and soil. This "infrastructural turn" meant that sociability, religion, identity, and political legitimacy in the inter- and intra-imperial domains were biologized and thus fastened to the material and technological systems these groups were part of. Parsis and their Muslim competitors naturalized this system and made it and themselves into parts of the landscape. Such ecologies of ethnicity and extrastatecraft flourished on the margins of large-scale infrastructures, underpinning the emergence of minorities and diasporas in the twentieth century.

The article outlines a four step framework for improving infrastructure planning, programming and investment decision-making. It grew out of discussions held between the Governor of California's Office staff and State Assembly and State Senate members in 2008. The purpose of the paper is twofold: first to define an overarching policy framework on performance-based infrastructure; and second to outline how California might launch a series of integrated policy and program initiatives to provide high-quality infrastructure services. While focused on California, the paper is relevant for policy makers in other states and countries who are interested in improving infrastructure delivery and performance.

From U.S.-Mexico border walls to Flint's poisoned pipes, there is a new urgency to the politics of infrastructure. Roads, electricity lines, water pipes, and oil installations promise to distribute the resources necessary for everyday life. Yet an attention to their ongoing processes also reveals how infrastructures are made with fragile and often violent relations among people, materials, and institutions. While infrastructures promise modernity and development, their breakdowns and absences reveal the underbelly of progress, liberal equality, and economic growth. This tension, between aspiration and failure, makes infrastructure a productive location for social theory. Contributing to the everyday lives of infrastructure across four continents, some of the leading anthropologists of infrastructure demonstrate in The Promise of Infrastructure how these more-than-human assemblages made over more-than-human lifetimes offer new opportunities to theorize time, politics, and promise in the contemporary moment.A School for Advanced Research Advanced SeminarContributors.

The darkness that came from the Mediterranean Sea covered the city hated by the procurator. М. Bulgakov. The Master and MargaritaThe seventh airfield subzone covered our beloved city. Construction was stopped, and engineering was frozen. Now we have as much free time as we need. And while Irkutsk is struggling with the mistakes of previous administrations, let's see how new air terminals are opened one by one in the regional capitals of the country: Kemerovo, Saratov, Perm. The first one we saw was LEONOV in Kemerovo. And we saw it not online, but live, when we arrived at the Festival "Zodchestvo in Siberia".The object of the issue is not a frequent section in PB. This issue contains several significant infrastructure facilities by Moscow authors. Airport terminals in three Russian regional capitals (41) and the Nizhegorodskaya transport hub in Moscow (63).The main Siberian festival of this autumn is a regular festival "Zodchestvo in Siberia" held in the first decade of September in Kemerovo (15-36). It is noteworthy that the main focus of the work of the key speakers of this festival, Nikolay Shumakov and Timur Bashkaev, is on transport infrastructure facilities. So the stars are aligned for us to talk about it, about INFRASTRUCTURE.The infrastructural crisis has hit fully half of the inhabited world. The gigantic transport, energy and information systems created in the middle of the last century have exhausted their resources. Mikhail Mishustin's government is adopting an ambitious plan to invest tens of trillions of rubles into the country's infrastructures. Joe Biden's government is discussing a similar plan that costs trillions of dollars. Meanwhile, it turns out that both the philosophy and methodology of infrastructure design have fundamentally changed and now require a deep rethinking. Along with the burning issues, however, we do not forget about anniversaries. The new issue of PB opens with a diptych devoted to the 80th anniversary of our regular author Alexander Rappaport. ; Тьма, пришедшая со Средиземного моря, накрыла ненавидимый прокуратором город…М. Булгаков «Мастер и Маргарита»Седьмая аэродромная подзона накрыла любимый нами город. Остановилось строительство, замерло проектирование. Свободного времени стало столько, сколько надобно. И пока Иркутск борется с ошибками предыдущих администраций, посмотрим, как один за другим открываются новые, поименованные, аэровокзалы региональных столиц страны – Кемерова, Саратова, Перми… Первым мы увидели кемеровский ЛЕОНОВ, причем увидели не он-лайн, а живьем, прилетев на фестиваль ЗВС.Объект номера – не частая рубрика в пб. В этом номере сразу несколько значительных объектов инфраструктуры московских авторов. Аэровокзалы трех российских региональных столиц (41) и столичный транспортно-пересадочный узел «Нижегородская» (63).Главный сибирский праздник этой осени – очередной фестиваль ЗВС, прошедший в первой декаде сентября в Кемерове (15–36). Интересно, что ключевые спикеры этого фестиваля – Николай Шумаков и Тимур Башкаев – в своем творчестве сосредоточены на объектах транспортной инфраструктуры. Так звезды встали, указывая нам, что самое время поговорить о ней, об ИНФРАСТРУКТУРЕ.Инфраструктурный кризис накрыл добрую половину обитаемого мира. Гигантские транспортные, энергетические, информационные системы, созданные в середине прошлого века, выработали свой ресурс. Правительство Михаила Мишустина принимает амбициозный план вложений десятков триллионов рублей в инфраструктуры страны. Правительство Джо Байдена обсуждает аналогичный план стоимостью в триллионы долларов. Тем временем выясняется, что и философия, и методология проектирования инфраструктуры кардинально поменялись и требуют глубокого переосмысления.Впрочем, за злобой дня мы не забываем и о юбилеях. Новый номер пб открывается диптихом, посвященным 80-летнему юбилею нашего постоянного автора Александра Раппапорта.
