  Urban infrastructure forms the backbone of modern cities, shaping their development and function. It encompasses the essential systems and structures that ensure the smooth operation of urban life, from transportation networks and energy systems to water supply and waste management. The presence of effective infrastructure directly influences a city's ability to grow, innovate, and provide a high quality of life for its residents. In an increasingly urbanized world, the need for robust and efficient urban infrastructure has never been more critical. 
  Defining urban infrastructure is the first step in understanding its importance. At its core, urban infrastructure refers to the fundamental physical and organizational structures needed for a city to function. These include transportation systems like roads, bridges, and railways; utilities such as electricity, water, and sewage; and the telecommunications networks that connect people to one another. In more advanced urban environments, smart technologies, energy-efficient solutions, and waste recycling systems are becoming integral to how cities operate. This broad and diverse range of components forms the lifeblood of cities, supporting both day-to-day operations and long-term growth. 
  The role of urban infrastructure in city development cannot be overstated. Well-planned infrastructure enables cities to support larger populations, fuel economic growth, and adapt to changing environmental conditions. For instance, efficient public transportation systems reduce congestion and pollution while improving access to essential services. Likewise, a reliable energy grid ensures that businesses can operate without disruption, fostering innovation and productivity. As urban populations continue to grow, the demand for sustainable and resilient infrastructure becomes even more pressing.

  Harnessing Disruption - Building...

  In Harnessing Disruption, Sarah E. Kreps—a national security expert and military veteran—offers a fresh, clear-eyed framework for understanding the social and political dynamics that shape technological change. From nuclear weapons to AI, cryptocurrency, and social media, breakthrough innovations rarely arrive without backlash. Disruption is not collapse. History shows it is part of a recurring pattern.With unmatched insight and authority, Kreps traces a five-stage cycle that technologies follow: emergence, early warnings, crisis, agenda-setting, and institutional response. Drawing on decades of research and real-world policy experience, she argues that disruption is neither inherently dangerous nor inherently self-correcting. Rather, it's a process we can steer, if we learn to see the signs and act decisively.Harnessing Disruption challenges fatalistic narratives that cast AI and other technologies as uncontrollable forces. It makes the case for cautious optimism: that institutions can adapt, societies can recalibrate, and technologies can be governed in ways that protect both innovation and the public good. Timely, incisive, and grounded in both historical precedent and contemporary case studies, this book provides the tools for anyone to understand where we are in the cycle of disruption and how to shape what comes next.
