Planning and Publics – On Sustaining Shared Futurities in a Planetary Era


In collaboration with the London School of Economics and Queen Mary University of London, the IILJ is hosting a workshop at the new NYU London location.

The rippling awareness of planetary-scale phenomena has layered onto existing socio-political challenges a raft of new concerns about knowledge-making, institutions, and the adequacy and durability of arrangements capable of sustaining and improving life in common. Organized around two pivotal ideas—planning and publics—this research project seeks to foster a wide-scope collaboration on a set of practical concepts and tools for better articulating and engaging with our shared futurities. These concepts and tools include infrastructure, resilience, scale, repair, the planetary, law, futurity.
