“基础设施”的概念已经发展到包括广泛的物质和非物质结构，这些结构相互连接，从而使被认为对人类福祉至关重要的资源得以流动。然而，在世界许多地方，基础设施发展也与经济、性别和种族/民族差异以及重大环境危害（包括碳排放、森林砍伐和生物多样性丧失）有关[2-4]。基础设施不再局限于所谓的道路、桥梁、管道和隧道等“灰色”基础设施，它现在包含了塑造知识和信息交流的社会和政治关系，支持生态系统服务供应的生态关系，以及快速发展的网络基础设施世界。随着我们对基础设施概念化的复杂性增加，我们对基础设施对可持续转型的贡献的理解也在增加。一方面，基础设施系统已成为抵抗和公众抗议的目标，被视为延续和巩固了人们认为过时的化石燃料依赖观念，并以牺牲社会正义和环境完整性为代价优先考虑狭隘的经济收益[5,6]。另一方面，活动家、科学家和实践者正在构建新的灰绿蓝星座和社会基础设施，作为向更可持续的未来转型的引擎[7,8]。因此，基础设施是向可持续发展过渡的挑战和机遇。几乎从定义上看，基础设施系统具有变革性：通过连接消费和需求、生产和供应的分散节点，基础设施系统创造了自我强化的途径，这些途径无情地塑造了任何系统随后的社会、生态和技术互动。因此，基础设施创造了系统，定义了系统边界，并决定了谁和什么是中心的、包含的和连接的，以及谁和什么是边缘的、排除的和孤立的。因此，不仅物质基础设施的社会和环境影响对可持续发展至关重要，而且我们的基础设施如何为创造更公平、公正和有弹性的未来提供充足的基础也至关重要。需要更详细地拟订概念框架、模式和比较研究，以便在与基础设施发展有关的决策中纳入公平和减轻权力不平衡。本期特刊的19篇文章探讨了基础设施在可持续转型中的作用。总体而言，他们强调了我们不断发展的基础设施系统面临的新可持续发展挑战，探讨了这些系统带来的治理挑战，并提出了有助于利用基础设施作为可持续发展转型工具的具体战略。这篇社论的其余部分围绕五个重叠和相互关联的主题对本期文章进行了简要总结：1。基础设施系统的规模、范围和意义；2. 重新制定基础设施目标和治理；3. 前景知识基础设施的重要性4. 预测/管理新的和新兴的权衡和协同效应
The concept of ‘infrastructure’has evolved to encompass the broad range of material and immaterial structures that connect, and thus enable the movement of the resources considered essential for human well-being [1]. Nevertheless, in many places of the world, infrastructure development has also been associated with economic, gender, and racial/ethnic disparities, as well as significant environmental harms, including carbon emissions, deforestation, and biodiversity loss [2-4]. No longer restricted to the so-called ‘gray’infrastructure of roads, bridges, pipes, and tunnels, infrastructure now incorporates the social and political relations that shape the exchange of knowledge and information, the constellation of ecological relations that support ecosystem-service provisioning, and the rapidly evolving world of cyberinfrastructure. As the complexity of our conceptualization of infrastructure has increased, so has our understanding of the contributions of infrastructure to sustainability transformations. On the one hand, infrastructure systems have become targets of resistance and public protest, seen as perpetuating and solidifying perceived antiquated notions of fossilfuel dependence and the prioritization of narrowly defined economic gain at the expense of social justice and environmental integrity [5, 6]. On the other hand, activists, scientists, and practitioners are framing novel constellations of gray–green–blue and social infrastructure as engines of transformation to more sustainable futures [7, 8]. Therefore, infrastructure constitutes both a challenge and an opportunity to transition toward sustainability. Almost by definition, infrastructure systems are transformative: by connecting dispersed nodes of consumption and demand, production and supply, infrastructure systems create self-reinforcing pathways that inexorably shape the subsequent social, ecological, and technical interactions of any system. Infrastructure thus creates systems, defines system boundaries, and determines who and what is central, included, and connected, and who and what is marginal, excluded, and isolated. Thus, it is not only the social and environmental impacts of the material infrastructure that matters for sustainability, but also how our infrastructures provide adequate foundations from which to create more equitable, just, and resilient futures [9]. There needs to be more elaboration of conceptual frameworks, models and comparative research to incorporate equity and mitigating power imbalances in decision-making related to infrastructural development [10].The nineteen contributions of this Special Issue explore the role of infrastructure in and for sustainability transformations. Collectively, they highlight emerging sustainability challenges faced by our evolving infrastructure systems, explore the challenges for governance such systems pose, and posit specific strategies that can help harness infrastructure as a tool of sustainability transformation. The remainder of this editorial provides a brief summary of articles in this issue organized around five overlapping and interconnected themes: 1. scale, scope, and the meaning of infrastructure systems; 2. reframing infrastructure objectives and governance; 3. importance of foregrounding knowledge infrastructure; 4. anticipating/managing trade-offs and synergies of new and emerging
