SUMMARY:Eighth Annual Atlanta Studies Symposium: Inclusive Innovation: Designing the Future of Atlanta - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID-19\, this has been postponed. Date TBD. \nThe eighth annual Atlanta Studies Symposium welcomes proposals on any aspect of Atlanta\, past\, present\, or future. Priority will be given to those that directly relate to the conference theme\, “Inclusive Innovation: Designing the Future of Atlanta.” \nIn June 2020\, the city of Atlanta will host the inaugural U.S. edition of the global Smart City Expo\, the world’s leading conference and expo on smart cities and smart urban solutions. City officials involved in this endeavor boast of their ability to “redefine what it means to be a smart city” while Atlanta researchers\, city planners\, and activists develop and investigate emerging technologies options to improve urban transportation in the City of Atlanta and the metro region. As the city hones in on its Smart City efforts\, how will art and design be utilized alongside technology to enhance its infrastructure and address issues of equity? With the metro region’s ever-growing population and increased awareness of its need for new innovative methods of development\, it is important for these methods to be inclusive and diverse to envision a more sustainable and equitable city and region. This symposium seeks to explore the points of intersection and division within Atlanta’s economic development\, population growth and increased creative potential. \nThis symposium poses the questions: \n\nHow does economic development affect art and design in Atlanta?\nHow does art and design impact the lived environment of the city?\nHow can city design address structural oppression and economic disparity?\nWhat are the ways art and design intersect with or address issues of equity in Atlanta?\nWhat role does art\, literature\, and music\, play in imagining alternative realities and radical futures for the city?\nHow is Atlanta redefining what it means to be a Smart city?\nHow is creative capital measured and cultivated within the city?\nWho is designing the future of the city? Who is included in this future?\n\nThis year\, we seek a diverse array of symposium sessions from scholars and practitioners at academic institutions\, as well as from other public\, private\, and nonprofit organizations. We welcome proposals for: \n\nFully constituted panels with up to 3 presenters and a moderator\nIndividual papers or posters\n5 minute/5 slide presentations that will be part of a lightning round session\nRoundtable discussions\nInteractive workshops\nFilm screenings\nAny other creative form of presentation you’d like to propose\n\nPlease submit abstracts via the link below no later than February 12\, 2020. \nSubmit Abstracts Here

SUMMARY:Diversity\, Inclusion + Social Good in Urban Analytics (DISA) Symposium - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID-19\, this has been postponed. Date TBD. \nUrban Analytics (UA) and Smart Cities (SC) research and degree programs are growing across the U.S. and around the world. This research has developed powerful techniques for spatial data creation\, capture\, and analysis. \nYet\, these fields were founded with technocratic and engineering problem-solving ideals. As such\, these programs and research agendas often operate without an explicit ‘plan’ for how technology and data analysis will tackle real world issues. \nTo help cities reach the most vulnerable citizens and improve daily life\, research questions and execution in this field need re-definition and intervention. \nJoin us at DISA to… \n\nGenerate solutions for how our research and teaching can include a more diverse body of tacit knowledge from the urban community.\nDiscuss how we can solve real-life problems with data analytics.\nDevelop strategies and recommend formal research frameworks to guide Urban Analytics and Smart Cities research towards championing citizen voices and helping people.\nEmpower urban analytics students and researchers to shape urban research questions\, methodologies and implementation in a way that positively impacts the city and its people.

SUMMARY:World Town Planning Day - Building Equity: Lessons in Sustainability from Community to College Campuses
DESCRIPTION:Join the School of City & Regional Planning\, the Student Planning Association\, and Diana Hernández\, our featured guest\, as we celebrate World Town Planning Day in Georgia Tech’s new Living Building\, the Kendeda Building. For more information on the Kendeda Building and the Living Building Challenge\, please visit their website. \nDiana Hernández is an Assistant Professor of Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. She is also the Director of the Community Engagement Core of the NIEHS-funded Center for Environmental Health in Northern Manhattan. \nBuilding Equity: Lessons in Sustainability from Community to College Campuses\nBuildings represent a middle ground between high-level and small-scale infrastructure. For this reason\, they embody specific factors at the intersection of equity and opportunity. For example\, recent studies show a correlation between energy efficiency upgrades\, usually of interest only to the landlord; and the likelihood of tenant financial burdens and disconnection notices for energy bills. Correlations such as these at the building scale can help reveal otherwise unseen implications of transitions to less environmentally impactful energy technologies. The idea of “just transitions” will be explored in this context\, as will comparative approaches from different segments of the US population from college campuses to community settings. \nRegister Here
