Abstract

This briefing synthesises insights from a collaborative UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) project that reviewed and analysed social science literature and UK policy discourse to explore such alternative perspectives and approaches. A novel framework is introduced, setting out four distinct perspectives on the relations between publics and infrastructural change. These perspectives are corroborated with evidence from the exemplifying case study areas of wind energy, greenhouse gas removal technologies, and smart home technologies.
