Examines Ghana’s planned city of Tema, theorizing about the formative role of waste infrastructure in urban politics and public life. Comparing infrastructural innovations across the city, Chalfin excavates how Tema residents pursue novel approaches to urban waste and sanitation built on the ruins of the inherited order, profoundly altering the urban public sphere.
