This approach remains intentionally cautious of universal uses of social reproduction theory, instead focusing analytical attention on historical contingency and social difference. The eleven contributions to this volume address distinct elements of contemporary urban crises in social reproduction through the lenses of infrastructure and subjectivity formation as well as through feminist efforts to decolonize urban knowledge production. Collectively, the chapters serve to deepen understandings of how people shape and reshape the spatial forms of their everyday lives, furthering understandings of the ‘infinite variety’ of  the urban.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Our time is fraught—global, intimate, differentiated—lived at different speeds with different horizons, but its insecurities and possibilities place social reproduction at its heart.
