Stranger Studies 101: Cities as Interaction Machines

Stranger Studies 101: Cities as Interaction Machines | About Cities | Scoop.it

Nothing has challenged our notions about what it means to "know" or "meet" someone more than the various ways we interact online. With geolocation services like Foursquare and augmented reality applications on the horizon, what it means to be a stranger or a friend is only getting more complex. We asked Kio Stark, a professor at New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program to share her syllabus on Stranger Studies here.

The students at ITP spend two years learning how to make and break all kinds of technology, and as Stark puts it, her classes "are about shaping a deeper, more rigorous understanding of the people my students are making things for." So, this syllabus focuses more on people and how they interact in cities -- the context for technology -- than gadgets or software themselves.

London’s Great Green Space Sell-Off

London’s Great Green Space Sell-Off | About Cities | Scoop.it

A combination of housing shortages and budget cuts have presumably made the sale of land more attractive, but could result in the loss of valued green spaces and greater density of building, particularly in the inner city where open land is scarce.
