Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Part C: Social complexity of infra-systems

Course subject(s) Module 1: Complexity of Infrastructure

The introduction of the operators and the management of infra-systems in web lecture B, immediately demands for zooming in at the social complexity of infra-systems.
This part and the next part will do that. We will see that the social complexity lays in the interactions between actors operating in the infra-systems. The number of actors operating in infra-systems has become greater and greater over the last decades. In this part we will discuss the changes in the actor configuration by introducing the concepts of unbundling, convergence, competition and privatization.
