The editors write:
Arab Urbanism welcomes original contributions from researchers, journalists, artists, activists, workers and other concerned citizens for a special issue on everyday experiences and encounters with infrastructures of production and social reproduction. Whether large or small, visible or hidden, broken or efficient, we want to consider the ways infrastructure shape and are shaped by our social, economic, political and environmental realities.
