Yes, we’ve fallen a bit behind with The Infrastructural City<\/span>. \u00a0But we’ve got a plan to remedy that — we’re pushing back the schedule. \u00a0This is actually less because of our lag (this week was supposed to be an “off” week, so we’d be caught up with Stephen’s hybrid “Mobile Phones”-“Property” post this week and my post on “Distribution” next Monday), and more because we want to make sure that Roger Sherman’s “Count(ing) on Change” (the “Property” chapter) gets the full discussion it deserves. \u00a0If you read John Hill’s Daily Dose of Architecture<\/em>, you may have caught his review of Sherman’s book-length treatment of the same topic, L.A. Under the Influence<\/span>; if not,\u00a0that review<\/a> (and accompanying Google StreetView tour<\/a>) may whet your appetite.<\/p>\n

Right: the remaining schedule, adjusted:<\/p>\n

July 12 Mobile Phones
\nJuly 19 Property
\nJuly 26 Distribution + The Trench
\nAugust 2 Props
\nAugust 7 Introduction (as conclusion)<\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, our fellow readers have \u00a0picked up the slack in our output, contributing several posts on Mobile Phones which are worth your while.<\/p>\n

Free Association Design<\/em> suggests that the cellular networks Kane and Miller describe are an exemplary instance of “<\/a>corporate<\/a><\/em> landscape urbanism”<\/a> — “which both precedes the [landscape urbanist] movement and is far more advanced in its operations”.<\/p>\n

DPR-Barcelona<\/em> ask<\/a> what parallels might be drawn between the cellular organization of airspace and the physical organization of present, future, and speculative cities.<\/p>\n

FASLANYC<\/em> speculates<\/a> about what sort of organizational and financial clues urban interventionists might take from the structures and practices of cellular corporations.<\/p>\n

Finally, we’ve already linked to Andrew Wade’s post<\/a> at Polis<\/em>, but in case you missed it, there it is again. \u00a0Wade asks: “if the processes of corporate decision-making and their impacts on urban infrastructure were creatively mapped and demonstrated, could it influence a recalibration of [city and regional planning]?” \u00a0We say: most definitely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
