THE RESPONSIVE CITY: a four-part series
The Responsive City speaker series explores the diverse ways that
digital media and telecommunications technologies are expanding
possibilities for research, design and practice within the field of
urban studies and planning. The work presented in this series either
intervenes or investigates the interface between people, technologies
and the city. Our assertion is that the digital revolution is changing
the way we live today as radically as the Industrial Revolution did
almost two centuries ago. As such, the speakers and panelists in the
Responsive City series propose various ways to investigate and
anticipate these changes and their implications at the urban scale:
ranging from waste disposal to historic preservation to building
social capital through real estate development. This work draws on
diverse fields such as urban planning, architecture, design,
management, engineering, computer science and social science to
capture the multi-disciplinary nature of urban problems.
