SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE(S) – HUMANE CITIES
Place: Bangalore, India / Virtual
Event dates: March 23-25, 2022
Abstracts: January 10th, 2022
Organiser: Dayananda Sagar Institutions
Publishers: UCL Press (open access)
The Sustainable Architecture(s) – Humane Cities conference is a reconsideration of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Given the current tragic situation of Covid-19 in Indian cities it will have a strand dedicated to that. With over 80% of the world’s megacities projected to be in the Global South by 2030 it addresses the challenges faced by the region’s expanding cities: Covid-19, public health, informal development, grass roots participatory design, climate change, resilience, and more. It critiques sustainability from practical, cultural, health perspectives and more. It asks questions about physical distancing, global cities, post-colonialism and spectacle architecture. It examines the relationship between all these issues and questions of social equity and public health, whether it be in Mumbai, Beirut, Cairo, Rio, Lagos or Beijing. In a tragic moment for India’s cities it challenges us to connect questions often kept in isolation. It seeks to connect the work of the designers of our buildings, the planners of our cites, our policy makers at regional levels, and the governors of our expanding urban settlements today. At a critical moment it seeks to share knowledge on the most vexed and pressing issues cities in India, and across the world, face today.

ARCHITECTURE, HISTORY AND THE SMART CITY
Place: New Delhi NCR, India / Virtual
Event dates: March 23-25, 2022
Abstracts: January 10th, 2022
Organiser: Noida International University
Publishers: UCL Press (open access)
Set in the context of the Indian government’s 100 Smart Cities Mission the Architecture, History and the Smart City conference seeks perspectives on the past, present and future of our cities. Given the current situation in India it has a special strand on technology and Covid-19. Whether it be Covid-19 tracking apps in Delhi, computational architecture of London, urban planning of New York, transport systems of Dubai or e-communities in Mumbai, it sees the role of technology in the creation and management of the built environment as integral to the modern metropolis. However, it simultaneously wishes to understand the myriad of non-digital issues at play today: social distancing in public space, the design of housing, the planning of commercial developments, the management of urban sprawl, and much more. To complete its picture of the complex future city, it also explores the origins of public health in the city, architectural and urban heritage, the conservation of ancient monuments, and the preservation of long standing cultural traditions. In the fast changing urban setting of the smart city it seeks a practical and historic understanding of the past and the future that can help today.
