Past-Proofing Infrastructure Futures: Usable Histories of Urban Technology Today

过往的基础设施未来:当今城市技术的可用历史

基本信息

项目摘要

In increasingly urgent debates about climate, environmental and societal crises, talk of the future is drowning out consideration of the past. The value of history as a compass for societal orientation is being all-too-readily overlooked. The proposed research project uses the case of infrastructure to demonstrate how history can be used as an experiential resource to help navigate the multiple crises we are facing today. It contends that the valid call to future-proof infrastructure systems needs to draw on a sound, critical and inclusive understanding of the past if it is to be effective: a process characterized here as ‘past-proofing’ infrastructure futures. The project combines three strands of scholarship – on usable pasts, on the history of technology and on urban infrastructures as historically mediated sociotechnical entanglements – to produce a conceptually grounded, methodologically innovative and empirically rich analysis of usable histories of urban technology, drawing on usable past initiatives worldwide for inspiration. The overarching purpose of this project is to generate knowledge on how the past can be mobilized, critically and productively, to help shape transformative pathways for urban infrastructure systems of energy and water, using Berlin as an empirical case study and site for knowledge dissemination. The project pursues four core objectives: first, to develop a robust, nuanced and inclusive understanding of the concept and practice of usable pasts, based on a wide-ranging review of academic literature, projects and networks, second, to analyse and refine methods for elucidating and disseminating usable pasts, third, to co-generate usable infrastructure histories for Berlin in close partnership with infrastructure professionals, policymakers and knowledge intermediaries and fourth, to initiate and consolidate a global research network on usable pasts. The work programme, comprising six work packages (WP), embeds empirical research on Berlin’s urban technology history (WP3) within the broader context of research on usable pasts (WP1) and an analysis of existing usable past projects and networks from around the world (WP2) so as to explore and test applications for usable pasts with local stakeholders (WP4), derive generic findings for scholarship on the history of technology and urban and infrastructure studies (WP5) and establish an international research network on usable pasts capable of sustaining scholarship beyond the project lifetime (WP6). The project team will interact continuously with practitioner partners (utilities and museums in Berlin) to ensure the project’s feasibility in delivering truly usable pasts to providers, policymakers and users of urban infrastructure services.
在关于气候、环境和社会危机的日益紧迫的辩论中,对未来的讨论正在淹没对过去的思考。历史作为社会导向的指南针的价值很容易被忽视。拟议的研究项目使用基础设施的案例来展示如何将历史作为一种经验资源来帮助驾驭我们今天面临的多重危机。它认为,对面向未来的基础设施系统的有效呼吁,需要借鉴对过去的健全、批判性和包容性的理解,才能有效:这一过程在这里被描述为“面向过去的”基础设施未来。该项目结合了三个学术分支--关于可用的过去、技术史和城市基础设施作为历史中介的社会技术纠葛--对城市技术的可用的历史进行了概念上的、方法上的创新和丰富的经验分析,借鉴了世界各地可用的过去的倡议作为灵感。该项目的主要目的是利用柏林作为经验案例研究和知识传播场所,产生关于如何以关键和富有成效的方式调动过去的知识,以帮助塑造城市能源和水基础设施系统的变革路径。该项目追求四个核心目标:第一,在对学术文献、项目和网络的广泛审查的基础上,对可用的过去的概念和实践形成强有力的、细致入微的和包容性的理解;第二,分析和改进阐明和传播可用的过去的方法;第三,与基础设施专业人员、政策制定者和知识中介密切合作,共同为柏林编制可用的基础设施历史;第四,启动和巩固关于可用的过去的全球研究网络。该工作方案包括六个工作包(WP),将关于柏林城市技术史的经验研究(WP3)纳入可用过去研究(WP1)和分析世界各地现有可用过去项目和网络(WP2)的更广泛背景下,以便与当地利益攸关方一起探索和测试可用过去的应用(WP4),为技术史和城市与基础设施研究(WP5)的学术得出一般性结论,并建立一个关于可用过去的国际研究网络,能够在项目生命周期之后支持学术(WP6)。项目组将与实践者合作伙伴(柏林的公用事业和博物馆)不断互动,以确保该项目在向城市基础设施服务的提供者、政策制定者和用户提供真正可用的过去方面具有可行性。
