Abstract

Socially sustainable infrastructure eliminates unfreedoms that reduce human choice and agency. These unfreedoms include the lack of clean energy, clean water, clean air, sanitation, mobility, information, or safe shelter, which collectively impact billions of people today, and the lack of a stable climate, which impacts everyone on earth and everyone who will be born in the coming decades. The built environment can be collaboratively built and collaboratively used to solve collective problems like these; in this sense, construction is a feminist project of creation. In this paper, I argue that the goal of all engineering projects and organizations must be a built environment that provides every person on the planet a greater ability to lead a life they value, recognizing that the diversity of those chosen lives is both the enabler and the outcome of what we pursue.

基础设施的社会可持续性:为正义而建设
社会可持续的基础设施消除了减少人类选择和能动性的不自由。这些不自由包括缺乏清洁能源、清洁水、清洁空气、卫生设施、流动性、信息或安全住所,这些因素共同影响着今天的数十亿人;缺乏稳定的气候,这影响着地球上的每一个人以及未来几十年出生的每一个人。建筑环境可以被共同建造,共同用于解决诸如此类的集体问题;从这个意义上说,建筑是一个女权主义的创作项目。在本文中,我论证了所有工程项目和组织的目标必须是一个建筑环境,它为地球上的每个人提供更大的能力来过上他们所重视的生活,认识到那些选择的生活的多样性既是我们追求的促成因素,也是结果。
