For many years, a uniform and uncontested picture of utility system organization has endured across Europe. This book examines the environmental restructuring of consumption and provision in energy, water and waste systems. It challenges contemporary conceptualizations of consumers as the autonomous drivers of environmental change.
First Published in 2005. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
