We are part of the 'TechniCity'. The increasing availability of
networks, sensors and mobile technologies allows for new approaches to
address the challenges that our cities face. The way we understand cities
is undergoing sweeping transformation, right along with the analytical
tools we use to design our cities and the communication tools we use to
engage people. Absorbing, studying and understanding the role of technology
from a critical viewpoint allows us to generate creative ideas for improving
our cities.

This course begins by examining how our cities are changing. We then jump
into how technology is used to engage with the public to support decision-making.
Students will be examining tools for analyzing the city. Then we move into
exploring the infrastructure that makes the real-time, technologically-enhanced
city possible. And rounding out the course is an exploration of entrepreneurial
urbanism, looking at how creativity can spawn technological innovation.
You'll hear from technological innovators and thought leaders about all
of these topics. You can learn more as this course develops on
