Time, temporality, and the dialectic of infrastructure-led urbanization–urbanism

Abstract

Vegliò et al.'s innovative intervention offers a valuable analytical reframing, illuminating the situated complexities and lived realities of global infrastructure. Building on their multifaceted argument, this response foregrounds the dialectic between urbanization and urbanism to develop a temporal reading of global ‘infrastructure-led urbanization’. I contend that examining the temporal co-constitution of infrastructure and the urban can deepen our understanding of the changing landscapes of global infrastructure, offering new ways to conceptualize progress, endure crisis, and navigate the dynamic infrastructuring of urban futures.
