ment each other, rather setting them in opposition. He therefore seeks to emphasize the possibilities that this kind of comparative approach can have for enriching the development of research practices. Meticulously and systematically examining in depth the cases chosen enables the author to collect and follow buried memories; to recognise their constituent mnemonic structures, processes and the actors which form the landscapes of the railways beneath London and Berlin, and how these things are found within the broader social discourses which exist in each city at surface level. This work shows how empirical research can contribute to strengthening theories on the relations between infrastructure and landscape, by emphasising how transport networks are produced and reproduced in ways which are not confined to their exclusive use as a means of transport, since they are multi-dimensionally formed. This is true beyond the limitations present in the analysis of particular cases, and results can be generalised. Merrill’s work has the virtue of demonstrating the value of applying the cultural landscape and social memory approaches to the high-volume transport infrastructures which are found in the depths of the metropolis, whilst encouraging the development of a specific field of research which encourages the analysis of these phenomena.

互相鼓励，而不是让他们对立。因此，他试图强调这种比较方法对于丰富研究实践发展的可能性。对所选择的案例进行细致、系统的深入研究，使作者能够收集和追踪埋藏的记忆；识别构成伦敦和柏林地下铁路景观的助记结构、过程和参与者，以及如何在每个城市表面存在的更广泛的社会话语中找到这些东西。这项工作展示了实证研究如何有助于加强基础设施与景观之间关系的理论，通过强调运输网络如何以不限于作为运输工具的专有用途的方式生产和再生产，因为它们是多维形成的。这超出了特定案例分析中存在的限制，并且结果可以概括。Merrill 的工作证明了将文化景观和社会记忆方法应用于大都市深处的高容量交通基础设施的价值，同时鼓励特定研究领域的发展，鼓励分析这些现象。
