Biographical note
Edited by Juan Montero, National University of Distance Education, Spain and Professor, Florence School of Regulation, European University Institute, Italy and Matthias Finger, Professor Emeritus, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne, Switzerland and Professor, Istanbul Technical University (ITÜ), Turkey<i>‘Infrastructures are not digital born, but should become digital. The complexity and intertwinement between elements hinders easy progress. This book is a must-read fore leaders in which the challenges are framed and insight is given into how to move forward.‘</i>
- Marijn Janssen, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands,
Providing a coherent and multidisciplinary approach to digitalization, this Modern Guide aims to systematize how the digitalization process affects infrastructure-based industries, including telecommunications, transport, energy, water and postal services.This important book reviews the literature on how digital technologies can impact infrastructure design, construction and maintenance costs, with specific references for each industry. Contributors analyse how digitalization is disrupting traditional infrastructure managers in terms of capacity management and traffic flows as well as discussing key topics including data governance, data sharing, digital platforms and sector convergence.With special attention devoted to regulatory and governance challenges, this will be welcomed by researchers of network industries and digitalization. This will also be of special interest to academics and scholars interested in the digitalization process, data governance and infrastructure management.
