Sustainable Infrasystem Synergies: A Conceptual Framework 81 Sustainable Infrasystem Synergies: A Conceptual Framework Daniel Jonsson ONSIDER an example of interaction between different urban infrastructure systems (infrasystems) yielding ad- C vantageous synergies.

The sewage disposal system is also a part of the waste management system since organic domestic refuse is also removed through pipes instead of by garbage trucks, resulting in decreases in traff ic-related emissions. The sewage network is co-located with district heating links, since waste heat facilitates biological decomposition in the sewer pipes during distribution, which makes the final sewage treatment easier and cheaper because of a decreased use of chemicals.
