Toward Urban Wastewater Resilience? Governing Heterogenous Sociotechnical Solutions in Cape Town
While there is growing engagement with the concept of resilience in the urban water sector, most of this research has focused on resilience building in water supply infrastructure. Less is known about resilience in the urban wastewater sector, particularly in Southern cities. This thesis examines how resilience-building sociotechnical interventions in Cape Town’s wastewater sector are governed across the neighbourhood and city scale. It explores how actors respond to wastewater management challenges and what synergies, conflicts, and trade-offs emerge. This thesis contributes to understanding the socio-spatially contingent governance of infrastructure change towards resilient urban wastewater systems.
