It will analyse the underestimated role of human factor in the infrastructural processes and the political economy of infrastructures in Europe after World War II. From the modernist infrastructural paradigm to infrastructural gap of the post-2008 and post-covid crisis. Participants can read Infrastructural gap article for some initial references.
