Recent trends, it has been
argued, have the potential for radical transformation
of established infrastructural ideals as urban spaces
and related socio-technical infrastructures fracture and
reform (Graham and Marvin 2001; Coutard 2005).
This opens up possibilities for the development of
greener modes and systems of provision in which
new forms of interaction between utilities and consumers
are developed, new intermediaries become
involved and new patterns of differentiation and
co-provisioning can emerge (Van Vliet 2002; Van
Vliet et al. 2005)
