The material and energy flows that characterized the metabolism of preindustrial and industrial societies were organized through complex infrastructures based on interwoven social and natural elements. Analyzing infrastructures from many methodological and thematic perspectives, the present volume adopts an extensive periodization to identify the undeniable changes caused by industrialization and the persistence of pre-existing features and dynamics. The contributions range from the late Middle Ages to the 1990s and deepen historical characteristics of urban metabolism, the study of energy systems and their transitions, and the management and control of water resources. These reveal the strategies societies and states adopted to transform and adapt their surrounding environment in a constant and challenging equilibrium of diverse interests, whose impact over time has had environmental consequences on a global scale.

This book constitutes the 25th International Conference on Infrastructure and Environment (infraeco 2018) that focuses on rural problems connected with infrastructural equipment. In general, infrastructure issues are dedicated to urban areas while rural topics are linked to agriculture so this conference bridges these two aspects. It also explores ways to manage and separate conflicts between different and important needs of inhabitants, the environment, and other spatial users. The conference provides a forum for much needed cooperation between various scientific disciplines regarding these multidisciplinary problems and issues; hence, Infraeco 2018 draws together engineers, planners, consultants, land developers, and academics from across all disciplines of highway planning, design, operations, and engineering to presents effective practices and share current research results.

Infrastructure, Environment, and Life in the Anthropocene explores life in the age of climate change through a series of infrastructural puzzles—sites at which it has become impossible to disentangle the natural from the built environment. With topics ranging from breakwaters built of oysters, underground rivers made by leaky pipes, and architecture gone weedy to neighborhoods partially submerged by rising tides, the contributors explore situations that destabilize the concepts we once relied on to address environmental challenges. They take up the challenge that the Anthropocene poses both to life on the planet and to our social-scientific understanding of it by showing how past conceptions of environment and progress have become unmoored and what this means for how we imagine the future.

How this book is organized: A roadmap I organized this book into three sections with 13 chapters. Part 1 introduces IaC and how you, as an individual, write it. • Chapter 1 defines IaC and its benefits and principles. The chapter explains that the book has examples in Python, run by HashiCorp Terraform, and deployed to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). I also discuss the tools and use cases you’ll encounter in your IaC journey. • Chapter 2 dives into the principle of immutability and how you can migrate existing infrastructure resources to IaC. It also covers the practices of writing clean IaC. • Chapter 3 offers a few patterns for dividing and grouping infrastructure resources into modules. Each pattern includes an example and a list of use cases. • Chapter 4 covers how to manage dependencies among infrastructure resources and modules and decouple them with dependency injection and some common patterns. Part 2 describes how to write and collaborate on IaC as a team. • Chapter 5 organizes the practices and considerations for expressing IaC in different repository structures and sharing it across your team. • Chapter 6 provides an infrastructure testing strategy. It describes each type of test and how to write them for IaC. • Chapter 7 applies continuous delivery to IaC. It covers a high-level view of branching models and how your team can use them to change infrastructure. • Chapter 8 provides techniques to build secure and compliant IaC, including testing and tagging. Part 3 covers how to manage IaC across your company. • Chapter 9 applies immutability to infrastructure changes, including an example for blue-green deployments. • Chapter 10 refactors a large body of IaC to improve its maintainability and mitigate the blast radius of failed changes to one codebase. • Chapter 11 describes reverting IaC and rolling forward changes to the system. • Chapter 12 addresses the use of IaC to manage cloud computing costs. It includes an example for cost estimation of IaC. • Chapter 13 completes the book with practices to manage and update IaC tools. You will find that many concepts build on each other throughout the book, and it may help to read the chapters in order if you have not previously practiced IaC. Otherwise, you can choose the sections that best apply to the challenges you face in your IaC practice.

Throughout the world there is a growing demand for high quality public services to support socio-economic development. Infrastructure is central to improving the level of public services and the quality of the built environment. But in key areas such as transport, energy, water, healthcare, education and communications, public resources are not sufficient to keep pace with this demand. As the public sector struggles to keep up, the private sector is increasingly involved in the procurement of economic and social infrastructure. Until now procurement strategies have often concentrated on the mechanisms and the 'bricks and mortar' without a thorough analysis of the processes and their implications for services. The result is that all too often infrastructure projects are implemented in an ad hoc and fragmented way. In this ground-breaking book, Rodney Howes and Herbert Robinson provide a holistic approach to infrastructure provision that facilitates infrastructure delivery aimed at continuously improving the level and quality of services. Critical issues of policy and strategy, implementation, and operational aspects are examined within the context of sustainability. By emphasising the importance of procuring infrastructure within an overall national or regional development policy and strategy, the authors have demonstrated the importance of linking investment and resource decisions to local social, economic and environmental needs. With each chapter carefully written to reflect part of the infrastructure delivery chain and illustrated with practical examples and case studies from around the world, this book offers a new blueprint for infrastructure investment and resource management.

Infrastructure Security Conference 2002 (InfraSec 2002) was created to promote security research and the development of practical solutions in the security of infrastructures – both government and commercial – such as the effective prevention of, detection of, reporting of, response to and recovery from security incidents. The conference, sponsored by the Datacard Group and Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, was held on October 1–3, 2002. Organizational support was provided by the Center for Cryptography, Computer and Network Security Center at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee. Organizing a conference is a major undertaking requiring the efforts of many individuals. The Conference President, Graham Higgins (Datacard Group), oversaw all arrangements for the conference, and the General Chair, Susan Thompson (Datacard Group), oversaw the local organization and registration. Local arrangements were directed by Jan Ward (Hewlett-Packard Laboratories) and Jamie Wilson (Datacard Group). Financial arrangements were managed by Natalie Churchill (Hewlett-Packard Laboratories). We wish to thank the organizers, without whose support this conference would not have been possible. This conference program included two keynote speakers: Bob Evans (Office of the e-Envoy) and Vic Maconachy (Department of Defense). The program committee considered 44 submissions of which 23 papers were accepted. Each submitted paper was reviewed by a minimum of three referees. These proceedings contain revised versions of the accepted papers. Revisions were not checked and the authors bear full responsibility for the content of their papers.

Discover how to finance resilient, sustainable cities through nature-based solutions. As urban areas face growing climate change risks, air and water pollution, and biodiversity loss, nature-based solutions (NBS)—including green roofs, urban wetlands, tree-lined streets, and sustainable stormwater systems—are becoming essential to urban climate resilience and environmental sustainability. Yet, one major barrier remains: sustainable financing. Financing Urban Nature-Based Solutions is a comprehensive guide to unlocking investment in green infrastructure. This essential resource covers key urban NBS funding strategies, including public sector financing, green bonds, carbon and biodiversity credit markets, public-private partnerships (PPPs), and blended finance. It explores how climate funds, multilateral development banks, and impact investors are scaling up support for nature-positive projects across cities worldwide. Inside, you’ll learn how to: • Align NBS financing with global climate and biodiversity goals • Leverage tools like resilience bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and digital crowdfunding platforms • Overcome institutional and regulatory barriers to investment • Mobilize both public and private capital for urban reforestation, wetland restoration, and ecosystem-based adaptation Perfect for urban planners, sustainability professionals, investors, and policymakers, this book equips you with practical strategies to fund and implement resilient, inclusive, and nature-based urban development.
