2024 AIA Regional & Urban Design Symposium — Cities are Relationships: Regionalism and Polycentricity
Event Date: Nov 14, 2024 - Nov 15, 2024; Event City: Indianapolis, IN, US Cities are physical manifestations of civic relationships and systems, and urban spatial organization is evolving away from a single “downtown” or “central business district” into a collection of polycentric and diverse communities that cooperate – or compete – with one another to build more dynamic urban environments. Urban economies are pushing forward new approaches and investigations as transformational change is happening. What are the significant factors and behavioral constructs we must understand today to set future generations up for success and thrive in built environments? Are polycentric cities expanding or contracting figuratively and physically? The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Regional and Urban Design Knowledge Community (RUDC) is hosting the annual RUDC symposium this fall in Indianapolis, Indiana. Over many years, these symposia invite designers, policymakers, and urbanists to provoke, critique, and ideate on the future of cities. This two-day symposium will delve into emerging trends, theories, and technologies shaping the future of regional and urban design across the country. Convening in Indianapolis, the symposium's first day will expand on this ambition through various presentations and panel discussions. The conversation will continue on an optional second day, consisting of a series of tours.We welcome all urban thinkers, regardless of your discipline or geography, to join us for this engaging and stimulating symposium in Indianapolis to explore and discover our Cities are Relationships: Regionalism and Polycentricity.CALL FOR SPEAKERS -- OPEN UNTIL JULY 14, 2024.
