As the planet's urban population surges in coming decades, the growth and evolution of cities presents a key challenge to both the developed and developing world. What makes for a sustainable city? Can we build communities that are both livable and socially equitable? Can utilizing human-centered design be part of the solution?
A class I teach, the International Urbanization Seminar, will be hosting an expo on December 3 at the d.school to explore these issues. View interactive exhibits and play with prototypes developed by multinational teams from Stanford University, Tsinghua University (China), ESSEC (France), and UC Berkeley. Key topics include: urban bicycles, cultural heritage preservation, food systems, electric vehicles and more!
Be sure to catch our series of 6-minute Lightning Talks by international experts throughout the afternoon, including representatives from OpenIDEO (part of the IDEO design family), the Tzu Chi Foundation (one of Asia's major humanitarian organizations that has demonstrated both efficacy and socially-innovative approaches in its aid work), and the Chief Resilience Officer for the City of Oakland.
There will also be a special sneak peak at the film "Kapital Creation," a documentary about the changing face of Beijing.
