Regulation and re-regulation
Infrastructures are regulated and reregulated over time. Urbanisation at the start of the twentieth century increased the need for large infrastructures. The building of these infrastructures was often a combination of private, local and state interests. What was the impact of the local—possibly conflicting—needs and what role did the state play in the building and regulating of infrastructures? How are firms regulated to ensure public utility? The authors of this issue shed light on these questions with some giving a historical oversight of (re) regulation and the conflicting interests.
