About this title

Synopsis

Energy is everywhere—yet the vast infrastructural networks that power our daily lives remain largely invisible. Accounting for three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions, energy systems stand at the center of our climate crisis and the transformations needed to address it. This book examines energy supply as a spatial and material phenomenon, exploring the Berlin-Brandenburg capital region through maps, drawings, texts, and photographs. It reveals the hidden geographies connecting energy production and consumption across scales—from household transformations to citywide configurations and regional supply networks. Tracing the flow of fossil and renewable energy carriers through territories, towns, and streets, Power, Flows, and Transformation offers a multi-layered portrait of our energy landscapes past, present, and future. In doing so, the book illuminates the complex assemblages and diverse localities that define and support our urban structures today, unearthing how these will shape the territorial reconfigurations of tomorrow’s energy geography.
