Timing the Future Metropolis: Foresight, Knowledge, and Doubt in America''s Postwar Urbanism

English

By (author): Peter Ekman

Timing the Future Metropolisan intellectual history of planning, urbanism, design, and social scienceexplores the network of postwar institutions, formed amid specters of urban crisis and renewal, that set out to envision the future of the American city. Peter Ekman focuses on one decisive node in the network: the Joint Center for Urban Studies, founded in 1959 by scholars at Harvard and MIT.

Through its sprawling programs of organized research, its manifold connections to universities, foundations, publishers, and policymakers, and its years of consultation on the planning of a new city in VenezuelaCiudad Guayanathe Joint Center became preoccupied with the question of how to conceptualize the urban future as an object of knowledge. Timing the Future Metropolis ultimately compels a broader reflection on temporality in urban planning, rethinking how we might imagine cities yet to comeand the consequences of deciding not to.
