Urban Technologies, Innovations & Planning Institutions
Planning interventions evolve, and technological change increasingly intersects with that evolution. This course examines how existing planning laws and institutional interactions are (in)adequate in light of technological change. It also considers how emerging urban technologies may disrupt traditional planning. We will identify the opportunities, challenges, and discontents related to novel practices and shifting institutional relationships. Framing the course discussions is an examination of the interactions between three primary groups -the government (public sector, policymakers, and politicians), capital (private sector), and citizens -and related institutions. For instance, the emergence of new actors through the use of digital technology has changed how the provisioning of urban infrastructure is realized.
Together, we will consider how planners, developers, landowners, advocates, residents, and other actors negotiate competing claims and, ultimately, realize their vision of “better” urban environments. We will especially focus on how “innovation” has emerged through these negotiations in various planning contexts and examine whether and how digital technology has (or has not) changed the planning process.
Readings about the law and the interactions between these various institutions provide the foundation for class discussions, as well as precedents and case studies from New York City, North America, and internationally.
