Clean water, paved roads, public transit, electricity and gas, sewers, waste processing, telecommunication, even the Internet—all this infrastructure is what makes cities work and powers our lives, often seamlessly and silently. Virtually everything we do and consume depends on infrastructure. Yet, most people have no idea how these systems work. How is water treated? How do cities manage rainwater? Why do traffic jams exist? How is electricity generated and distributed? What happens to trash after it is picked up? How does the Internet work?

If you think of infrastructure as a dry or overly technical topic, this book will offer you a refreshing new perspective. It offers an insightful and yet surprisingly engaging read. What sets this book apart is its compelling, almost novel-like storytelling. It takes you on a journey through time and across cities around the globe to discuss each infrastructure and its functioning. And, by doing so, it brings infrastructure to life and, very importantly, emphasize that infrastructure must always be people-centric.
