A Historical Overview of Environmental and Infrastructure Politics in Berlin. This edited volume represents the first comprehensive collection of essays on Berlin's environmental and infrastructure history. Encompassing 150 years, from Berlin becoming capital of the German Reich to the present day, Ecologies of Technopolis covers a tremendous diversity of political regimes, providing fascinating perspectives on how Europe's "technopolis" enrolled, transformed, disfigured, and celebrated urban environments. Grounding Berlin is structured around four thematic sections. 'Engineering Environments' explores the sociotechnical configuration of the urban environment through infrastructure-and its limitations. 'Molding Metabolisms', looks at the flows of natural resources through the city, as mediated by socioeconomic and political forces. 'Politicizing Pollution' investigates how issues of environmental and landscape degradation have engendered popular protest and contestation. Furthermore, 'Nurturing Natures' discusses how particular landscapes in Berlin have been mobilized for recreation, survival, renewal, or protection, altering the ways urban nature is envisioned and enhanced in the city.
