New Industrial Urbanism: Designing Places for Production
Prof. Tali Hatuka explores the evolving and future relationships between cities and places of production, focusing on the spatial implications of integrating contemporary advanced manufacturing into the city. Looking ahead to the quest to make cities more competitive and resilient, her new book New Industrial Urbanism (co-authored with Prof. Ben Joseph) provides lessons from around the world to reconsider the ways in which industry creates places, sustains jobs, and supports environmental sustainability in our cities.
Speaker
Professor Tali Hatuka, an architect and urban planner, is a Professor of Urban Planning and the head of the Laboratory of Contemporary Urban Design, at Tel Aviv University (lcud.tau.ac.il). Her work is focused primarily on two fields: urban society, and city design and development. Hatuka is the author and co-author of the books: The Design of Protest, Violent Acts and Urban Space in Contemporary Tel Aviv, The Factory, State-Neighborhood, The Planners, City-Industry and Land-Gardens. She also works as a city planner and urban designer advising municipalities and the public sector. Hatuka has received many awards, including a Fulbright Scholarship and a Marie Curie Scholarship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Hatuka was chosen in 2020 to be one of The Marker’s ‘100 most influential people in Israel’ for her academic and practical work in urban planning. She holds degrees from the Technion in Israel and Heriot-Watt University in the UK.
Discussant
Professor Carl Grodach is Foundation Professor and Director of Urban Planning and Design at Monash University. His research focuses on economic and community development planning with an emphasis on urban manufacturing and industrial lands, cultural industries, and circular economies. His books include Urban Revitalization: Remaking Cities in a Changing World (Routledge) and The Politics of Urban Cultural Policy: Global Perspectives (Routledge).
The annual Festival of Urbanism is a series of conversations where researchers, practitioners, community advocates and industry leaders come together to debate the threats and opportunities facing our cities and regions.
Melbourne: 12 - 17 September 2022
Sydney: 19 - 23 September 2022
Cities and regions are at a precipice – from the climate crisis to rising social inequality and the ongoing global pandemic – the future has never seemed more uncertain. Unsustainable patterns of land and resource-use persist despite extraordinary technological advances over the past century. The pervasive rise of digital platforms has disrupted every facet of society from how we work, travel, shop and socialise to our experiences of home. Urban planning, as a future-oriented discipline, has often embraced new technological solutions at the expense of meaningful community engagement or systemic change. Yet the promise of the so called ‘smart city’, while often unrealised, brings with it a space to explore alternatives, and opportunities for more socially just and environmentally resilient places.
In this context, the 9th Festival of Urbanism asks how our future cities and regions will change, and what interventions are needed to address the mistakes of the past. From reinstating the voices of First Nations’ communities, to transitioning to zero carbon models of development and ensuring affordable homes for the many rather than rising housing wealth for the few, this year’s Festival of Urbanism engages with a wide range of topics through a combination of live and online events, podcasts and films. With diverse speakers and thought leaders from academia, industry, policy and advocacy communities, discussions at the 2022 Festival of Future Urbanism promise to inform, challenge and inspire.
Join us to debate and define opportunities to bring about better urban and regional futures.
