Design has been employed as an agent of social and political
change, and a catalyst for spatial and urban transformations in
cities across the world. Concurrent Urbanities argues for the
centrality of designing in the conceptualization and production of
inclusive and participatory urban space, by bringing together civic
and urban activists, urbanists, designers and architects committed
to exploring designing as a socio-spatial praxis concerned with the
reorganization of urban socio-economic systems and relations of
power. The blend of first-hand experiences and reflections of the
urban practitioners featured reframes design practice beyond the
design of physical objects and public amenities, to the design of
social protocols, processes, and infrastructures for radically
reframing practices of socio-spatial inclusion 'on the ground.'
Through illustrated examples, this book features the work of
Stalker and Stealth who employ design to negotiate new social
contracts; Teddy Cruz's design of urban political and economic
processes; models of urban pedagogy by the Center for Urban
Pedagogy; Cohabitation Strategies' work on designing urban social
cooperatives; and others. Concurrent Urbanities presents a
compendium of the emerging models of design-driven urban practice
that offers important new insights to professional urban
practitioners as well as to students of urbanism, architecture,
urban design, and urban and spatial planning.
