SUMMARY:Ways of Knowing Cities Conference
DESCRIPTION:Wood Auditorium\, Avery Hall \nTechnology increasingly mediates the way that knowledge\, power\, and culture interact to create and transform the cities we live in. Ways of Knowing Cities is a one-day conference which brings together leading scholars and practitioners from across multiple disciplines to consider the role that technologies have played in changing how urban spaces and social life are structured and understood – both historically and in the present moment. \nFrom John Snow’s cholera maps of London and the design of the radio network in Colonial Nigeria to NASA’s composite images of global night lights\, the way the city and its inhabitants have been comprehended in moments of technological change has always been deeply political. Representations of the urban have been sites of contestation and violence\, but have also enabled spaces of resistance and delight. Our cities have been built and transformed through conflict\, and the struggle is as much informational and representational as it is physical and bodily. Today\, the generation and deployment of data is at the forefront of projects to reshape our cities\, for better and for worse. As a consequence\, responding to urban change demands critical literacy in technology\, and particularly data technologies. The conference addresses itself to the deep ambivalence of interventions in the urban\, as it explores the ways that knowledge regimes have impacted the built world. In this sense\, it seeks to catalyze more robust\, creative\, and far-reaching ways to think about the relationship between the urban and the information systems that enable\, engage and express the city. \nFree and open to the public with registration\, RSVP here. Please note\, seating will be first come\, first serve. Registration does not guarantee seating. The event will be livestreamed on arch.columbia.edu. \nThis event is sponsored by The Center for Spatial Research. \n
