University of Michigans Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning hosted the Future of Urbanism conference on March 19 & 20, 2010. An international roster of speakers academics and practitioners addressed some of the most critical issues facing our cities and their environs in six sessions, comprised of 15-minute segments and a panel discussion. Topics included: Urban and Regional Ecologies; Just Cities; MEGACITY / shrinking city; New Publics / New Public Spaces; Urban Imaginary; and Cities as Theaters for Conflict. The presentations were free and open to the public. YouTube | Bryan's 2001 Space Odyssey-meets-predator-drone presentation at http://youtu.be/zjnxI7H7_pU @subtopes YeaH!

Except, the 15 min. timer was strict, and I didn't get to finish my presentation. So, the ambiguous drone AI aspect never got to reach its silly conclusion! Oh well. I should have timed it more carefully.
Nice job Bryan! Fascinating presentation.
Thanks Paul!
15 Min of great Stuff to think about!
Well delivered! How did the discussion go?
Well, the discussion wasn't a continuation of my presentation in any way, so I never got to pick up where i left off in that regard. And having forgotten to mention many of the points I wanted to mention during the discussion, it still got at some pretty interesting exchange, about how to define resistence, what the actual condition of cities in conflict means as a starting point rather than a contested point for resistence, and begged further inquiry into how resistence should even take form, what sorts of strategies, how to encourage producing one's own space, etc...the video of that is up there too.
the panelists were pretty diverse, and our moderator asked some good questions, but tough to get at core stuff within a half hour. Was a good experience for me, that's for sure -- as I still need lots of practice at that sort of thing!
Nice post!
