The planned world is the world that surrounds us: in our cities, countryside, and wilderness. How do we conceive of that world through our culture, society, and technology, and how do we relate to that world as urban planners, architects, designers, policy planners and analysts, cultural commentators, artists, writers, critics, musicians, etc.? Some questions that might be addressed include: What is the relation between the different elements of the planned world? How is society organized in the planned world? What social issues arise? What is the cultural response to the planned world?
The conference will gather together researchers, scholars, students, and practitioners to address these questions and others pertaining to the topic.
Come to beautiful Vancouver to participate in this interdisciplinary conference!
