Mohtat and Khirfan identify epistemic injustice as an infrastructural condition of climate adaptation. Their study of Thorncliffe Park demonstrates how flood-adaptive green infrastructure can remain technocratically rational while excluding the experiential knowledge of low-income immigrant residents. Surveys, interviews, participatory mapping and runoff analysis are combined to compare expert systems with situated accounts of vulnerability, producing a methodological architecture in which local testimony is not anecdotal supplement but a competing form of evidence. The key theoretical contribution lies in joining recognitional justice to testimonial and hermeneutical injustice: residents may be excluded because their statements are given less credibility, but also because they lack the institutional and communicative tools required to make experience legible within planning systems. The wider bridge is to planning theory and STS. Infrastructure becomes epistemic when the authority to define risk, need and siting determines whose city can enter the project before construction begins.
