摘要最近发表在《可持续和弹性基础设施》杂志上的两篇评论文章提出了基础设施构想和交付方式的一个步骤性变化。这些文件定义了“灵活基础设施”一词，并提供了支持过渡的例子。这些文件提出了替代目前主要的基础设施发展模式的令人信服的想法。然而，它们低估了支撑城市和国家基础设施网络的集中式基础设施系统的许多优势。我们提供了一些例子，什么可能被认为是“刚性”的基础设施的优势，适应性的概念可以直接适用于升级这些现有的集中式，网络化的系统。在这样做的过程中，我们为关于适当进步的辩论做出了贡献，强调了技术乐观主义的风险，并强调了长期规划和投资的重要性。
ABSTRACT Two recent review papers in Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure have made the case for a step change in the way infrastructure is conceived and delivered. The papers define the term ‘flexible infrastructure’ and provide examples to support a case for transition. The papers present compelling alternative ideas to the current predominant mode of infrastructure development. However, they undervalue many of the advantages of centralized infrastructure systems that underpin city and national infrastructure networks. We provide some examples of the strengths of what might be deemed ‘rigid’ infrastructure and that the concepts of adaptability can directly apply to upgrading these existing centralized, networked systems. In doing so, we contribute to the debate about appropriate advances forward, highlighting the risks of technological optimism and emphasizing the importance of long-term planning and investment.
