Conferences

Conference explores technology’s impact on cities, communication
June 25-26
What do mobile technologies and changes mean for our sense of place, face-to-face communication and community? This vital issue and others will be tackled at the “Communicative Cities: Integrating Technology and Place” two-day conference organized by Knowlton School of Architecture faculty at Knowlton Hall.

Also to be discussed: How do technologies affect fields such as design, planning, public policy, law and journalism at all scales from a street corner to the world? How can communities facilitate communication among and with citizens? What are the implications of global connectivity and data accessibility?

The conference, sponsored by the Battelle Endowment for Technological Affairs and co-chaired by Knowlton City and Regional Planning Section’s Jack Nasar, professor, and Kate Terzano, graduate research associate, brings together distinguished speakers from Columbus and around the world.
