The Phoenix Urban Research Lab

@purl-asu

At the core of PURL’s activities is a set of initiatives exploring a variety of issues critical to the Phoenix metropolitan area and typically underrepresented in current urbanist dialog. Through a combination of supported research, coordinated coursework and public programming, including lectures, symposia, exhibitions and publications, PURL brings together different academic units within the university and bridges the university and the public spheres. Our goal is to generate innovative solutions that have true impact on the quality of our urban environment.

It’s a fair point: even with good intentions, bad design hurts.

In these lectures, given at ASU on October 13, 2010, Andrés Duany challenges us to look at the future of American cities in a new light. How do the current crises of global recession and climate change affect how we design and build cities? Sprawl is the least sustainable growth pattern, yet it still represents a major portion of the built environment — how will we adapt, repair, and rebuild it? Duany proposes new ideas and innovative strategies for rebuilding sustainable communities in the 21st century.

Topics Include:

Agrarian Urbanism

Planning for the 21st Century

Latino Urbanism is an emerging approach to development that responds to Latino lifestyles, cultural preferences, and economic needs. The Latino Urbanism Symposium and related events will highlight Latino Urbanism and its role in American placemaking. Through public presentations, panel discussions, community outreach and a design forum, we will celebrate and seek to understand how Latino Urbanism is reshaping the American urban landscape.

Topics Include:

Patterns and Forms of Latino Cultural Landscapes

Latino Urbanism vs. New Urbanism

Designing Public and Private Space for Latino Communities

Latino Urbanism, Economic Development, and the Marketing of Ethnic Identity
