Nader Vossoughian: Otto Neurath - Information and the Global Polis
Urban and military planning have been virtually indistinguishable for
most of history. Ancient Roman towns such as Timgad and London were
first conceived as military encampments. In the nineteenth century,
Georges-Eugène Haussmann constructed his boulevards in Paris with the
aim of stemming civil unrest. Given this past, are participatory or
democratic approaches to urban and social planning possible? They are,
at least in principle, and this lecture explores one such example.
