Notes
2 Over the last 15 years, a growing body of literature has examined Southeast Asian technology development (Morita Citation2017a), water infrastructures (Sangkhamanee Citation2017) and delta ontologies (Morita and Jensen Citation2017) in Thailand, anthropogenic rivers in Laos (Whitington Citation2018), and political infrastructures (Barker Citation2017). The present issue builds on this emerging body of literature in tandem with the STS literature on infrastructure (Harvey, Jensen, and Morita Citation2017) and urban assemblages and cosmopolitics (Blok and Farías Citation2016) to develop an analytical and empirical apparatus adequate to task of making sense of the astounding urban designs and transformations in contemporary Southeast Asian cities.
