DESCRIPTION:GDI Lecture organised in conjunction with the Department of G
 eography and Manchester Urban Institute. \n\nIn this lecture\, Jon Silve
 r will discuss insights from his recent book\, The Infrastructural South
 . The book represents a major theoretical contribution to the study of i
 nfrastructure's role in the third wave of urbanization centred on Africa
 . Based on over a decade of empirical research\, Silver's sweeping exami
 nation probes many of contemporary urbanism's most pressing issues throu
 gh the lens of the Global South. Focusing on Uganda\, Ghana\, and South 
 Africa\, Silver explores how access to energy\, water\, sanitation\, tra
 nsit\, and information technologies shapes everyday life as they map the
  dynamic relations between cities\, technology\, and the environment.\n\
 nAs urban issues become a key twenty-first-century challenge for Africa\
 , Silver offers a comprehensive reworking of our understanding of urbani
 zation. The Infrastructural South rethinks how global scholarship approa
 ches infrastructure\, laying pathways for future research at the interse
 ction of technology\, environmental urbanism\, and urban politics.
