The Handbook of Infrastructure Communication

The Handbook of Infrastructure Communication, 1st Edition, authored by Keri K. Stephens and Kasey M. Faust, presents a structured academic resource detailing information exchange across essential public systems. The volume divides its coverage into six distinct parts, establishing foundational communication principles before analyzing physical infrastructure systems such as water distribution, public transportation, and energy networks.

The text further investigates digital communication ecosystems, social networks, and cross-cultural communication strategies. A central focus on crisis communication examines how operational information moves through institutional channels and public networks during major infrastructure disruptions and emergency events.

Designed for advanced undergraduate students, graduate-level scholars, urban planners, public policymakers, and crisis communicators, this handbook provides clear course support for academic programs in environmental communication and urban design.
