An international roster of speakers addressed some of the most critical issues facing our cities and their environs during the “Future of Urbanism” conference, hosted by the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning on March 19 and 20, 2010.
 
Each participant had 15 minutes to present their views on one of six topics related to the future of urbanism: Urban and Regional Ecologies; Just Cities; MEGACITY / shrinking city; New Publics / New  Public Spaces; Urban Imaginary; and Cities as Theaters for Conflict.
 
Following each session, presenters convened in panels to address the specific topics.

Place: Rackham Auditorium, 915 E. Washington St. Ann Arbor, Mich.
