Technology alters urban environments and the way that individuals experience a city. We will present discussion papers that explore not only the specific cases of individual technologies that have had an impact on the street and peoples' experience of it in different periods (e.g. carriages, route-finding tools, mobile phone technology etc.), but also the cross-chronological paradigm shifts that technological change can effect.

The day is made up of three sessions:

Session 1 - Mapping/Technology/Control in relation to public space and the street

Carlo Ratti (Director, Senseable City Lab, MIT)

Tom Cohen (York University, Canada)

Richard Ingersoll (Syracuse University, Florence)

Session 2 - Surveillance and defining the boundaries of public space in the street

Elizabeth S. Cohen (York University, Canada)

Alex Stedmon (University of Nottingham)

Anna Minton (Journalist and author)

Session 3 - Surveillance: a creative perspective

Sound&Fury Theatre company

To be followed by a Round Table - concluding, thinking and talking.
