Presidential Symposium on Urban Frontiers

Space and Place: Urban Frontiers of the 21st Century
Wednesday, October 23, 2002
Kendall Cram Room, University Center
4:00 p.m.

 

Accelerating globalization, population movements, territorial struggles, technological change, and uneven economic development continually shape and re-shape physical and social landscapes. These trends transform human experience and cultural representations of both progress and decline. In the early 21st century this complex dynamic finds clearest expression in the world's urban centers. The 2002 Tulane University Presidential Symposium "Space And Place: Urban Frontiers Of The 21st Century" is designed to bring together some of the world's foremost scholars of urbanism to consider the trajectory, implications, and dilemmas of urban life, and, perhaps, plot a future course.
