Open to the NYU Abu Dhabi community and by invitation.
28-29 April 2023.
Convened by George Jose.
Cities, especially in the broader west and south Asia region, are characterized by a construction boom, innovations in mobility and transportation infrastructures, a consolidation of surveillance networks, and dynamic media, hospitality, care, and culture industries. These transformations have, in its turn, produced new forms of leisure, increased informality, and multiplied housing and work precarity. This two-day workshop will explore current trends and future trajectories of cities in Asia including an assessment of the dynamics of social infrastructure, including migration, gender and consumption, land markets, digital technologies, climate change and popular resistance in the cities of the global south.
