Summary:

Professionals in communications, energy, economics, and other elements of infrastructure have gathered the foundation knowledge necessary to design and analyze infrastructure networks that are self-organizing and user-driven. In sections on theory, features, and implications, they consider such topics as inverse infrastructures and their emergence at the edge of order and chaos, a history of local radio and television distribution, the government-sustained citizen-driven collection of waste paper in the Netherlands 1945-2010, the maintenance of a wi-fi community infrastructure, decentral water supply and sanitation, and translating inverse properties into design recommendations.
