Are you interested in positive urban visioning? Debate of the article titled Positive visions for guiding urban transformations toward sustainable futures from 2016, by Timon McPhearson, David M Iwaniec, and Xuemei Bai, published in the Current Opinion on Environmental Sustainability journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Jocelyn Chiew in episode 376 talking about the importance of creating visions for our urban environments to guide our actions. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how establishing desirable scenarios can effectively direct decision-making instead of fearmongering. This article promotes linking positive visioning processes with on-the-ground action through participatory and systemic approaches for true urban transformations.Find the article through this link.Abstract: Much of the discourse around urban and global futures tends to be dystopian with visions of environmental and societal collapse, and business as usual forecasts that challenge planning and policymaking for more optimistic urban futures. More recently, research and practice demonstrate the role of positives visions that allow exploration of alternative and desirable futures in developing positive plans and delivering desirable outcomes for cities. We review the role of positive visioning and associated future scenarios for transformations that can guide decision-making for plausible, desirable, and sustainable urban futures. We discuss key challenges and tensions in visioning processes and suggest paths forward for positive visioning as a key tool for resilience and sustainability planning and to guide implementation.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.109R - How much sustainability substance is in urban visions?

Are you interested in repurposing existing urban buildings and infrastructure? Debate of the article titled Adaptability of buildings: A critical review on the concept evolution from 2021, by Rand Askar, Luís Bragança, and Helena Gervásio, published in the MDPI Applied Sciences journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Manfred Schrenk in episode 374 talking about the importance of repurposing the urban context to the future. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the urban adaptability concept in a critical light. This article presents adaptability in buildings as a concept and its evolution over time, its various interpretations and the strategies and models that promote it.Find the article through this link.Abstract: Our ever-evolving built environment is continuously facing emerging needs for housing, work, health, and mobility, among others. Yet, buildings are usually designed and set up as finished permanent objects, reflecting the one constant scenario in mind of defined form, function, and performance. Since change is increasingly inevitable in our life, enlarging buildings' adaptive capacities in response to arising variables and changing conditions over their lifecycle becomes a necessity in seeking global sustainability demands. The concept of building adaptability has been a notable subject in this respect, increasingly stimulating and proposing regenerative alternatives to today's often obsolete buildings. This paper critically reviews the existing body of knowledge on the concept of adaptability in building research. The main focus is made on the evolution of the concept interpretations and related paradigms, and on the development of its applications and strategies in the light of promoting models and trends. Drawing on the literature as a source of evidence, the paper analyzes and classifies the content of existing studies published in scientific journals and gray literature, focusing on a timeframe from 2015 up-to-date. Moreover, the paper aims to build a constructive discussion to identify potential gaps between the actual state of the art and emerging needs, which should be addressed by further research.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.263R - Why affordable, social and public housing must be redefined as economic infrastructureNo.264 - Interview with Robert Pradolin about affordable housingYou can find the transcript through this link.What was the most interesting part for you?

Are you interested in investigating urban experiments? Debate of the article titled Interrogating urban experiments from 2016, by Federico Caprotti and Robert Cowley, published in the Urban Geography journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Arman Mirzakhani in episode 372 talking about the importance of urban experimentation. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see whether urban experimentations really live up to their names. This article presents urban experiments as a popular driving force for urban transitions, but also seven areas needing critical attention.Find the article through this link.Abstract: The notion of the “urban experiment” has become increasingly prevalent and popular as a guiding concept and trope used by both scholars and policymakers, as well as by corporate actors with a stake in the future of the city. In this paper, we critically engage with this emerging focus on “urban experiments”, and with its articulation through the associated concepts of “living labs”, “future labs”, “urban labs” and the like. A critical engagement with the notion of urban experimentation is now not only useful, but a necessity: we introduce seven specific areas that need critical attention when considering urban experiments: these are focused on normativity, crisis discourses, the definition of “experimental subjects”, boundaries and boundedness, historical precedents, “dark” experiments and non-human experimental agency.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.271R - Experimentation or projectification of urban change?

Are you interested in AI-driven urban transformations? Debate of the article titled The fundamental issues and development trends of AI-driven transformations in urban transit and urban space from 2025, by Haishan Xia, Renwei Liu, Lu Li, and Yilan Zhang, published in the Sustainable Cities and Society journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Josh Rands in episode 368 talking about AI prediction for urban transportation. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how we can utilise AI and Machine Learning tools and techniques to uncover non-linear urban relationships. This article highlights that AI technology helps address the spatiotemporal imbalance and proposes a future of human and artificial intelligence collaboration.Find the article through this link.Abstract: Changes in transportation demand driven by artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping urban spatial structures, and the continued development of AI is expected to exacerbate the spatiotemporal imbalance between urban spatial structures and transportation behaviors. Studying the interaction between urban transit and spatial factors helps to achieve precise alignment between structures and behavior. This study demonstrates the immense potential of AI technologies in uncovering complex, high-dimensional, non-linear interactions between pertinent factors using clustering analysis and further reveals the urban transformations induced by Urban AI and their broader macro impacts. A multi-factor equilibrium model of human and artificial intelligence is also proposed as a direction for future research, aiming to help scholars familiarize themselves with the latest trends and emerging technologies as well as to provide inspiration and guidance for future studies.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.325R - Economic and social impacts of public transport investments: A scoping literature reviewNo.326 - Interview with Sarah Bridges about the potential benefits of public transportationYou can find the transcript through this link.What was the most interesting part for you?

Are you interested in resilience as bouncing forward? Debate of the article titled Resilience and the Sustainable Development Goals: a scrutiny of urban strategies in the 100 Resilient Cities initiative from 2024, by Elisa Kochskämper, Lisa-Maria Glass, Wolfgang Haupt, Shirin Malekpour and Jarrod Grainger-Brown, published in the Journal of Environmental Planning and Management.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Sam Kernaghan in episode 362 talking about resilience as bouncing forward based on the 100 Resilient Cities Program. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how resilience is implemented in reality. This article proves the positive correlation between resilience and sustainable development planning with additional steps to improve on the process.Find the article through this link.Abstract: In the last decades, discourse and practice on urban transformation have centered around the concepts of sustainability and resilience. However, resilience in a narrow understanding – i.e. protecting the status quo – can contradict sustainable development. The 100 Resilient Cities exemplify a network in which cities actively pursued adaptation to future challenges in a way that could link resilience and sustainability. In this article, we analyze the resilience strategies of cities in this network against the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to understand the extent to which they consider sustainable development simultaneously. Overall, we find a positive trend towards resilience and sustainable development in urban strategies, particularly in the Global South. However, cities' resilience efforts often prioritize economic goals over social and environmental objectives. This contrasts with the call for transformative actions to achieve the SDGs.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.164R - A discussion of resilience and sustainability: Land use planning recover from the Canterbury earthquake sequence, New ZealandNo.245R - Urban resilience: Bridging the gap where cities and towns embrace abundanceNo.281R - Misfortunes never come singly.

Are you interested in how to create antifragile systems? Summary of the articles titled An introduction to Residuality Theory: Software design heuritics for complex systems and Residuality Theory, random simulation, and attractor networks from 2020 and 2022, by Barry M O'Reilly, presented at International Workshop on Computational Antifragility and Antifragile Engineering.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Barry O'Reilly in episode 360 talking about how residuality theory can be used for the future of cities. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see what Residuality Theory is and its connection to antifragility. These articles present Residuality Theory, a novel approach to software design, and proposes that complex software systems inevitably encounter unprecedented stressors, so it is best to create a system that can even handle those.Find the Residuality Theory: Software design heuritics for complex systems through this link.Abstract: Residuality theory provides a basis for designing software systems with resilient and antifragile behaviour through understanding sensitivity to stress and the concept of residual behaviours. By considering systems as a set of residues that exist in connection to stressors, we can more easily understand the role of design decisions in the life cycle of software systems and the unpredictable complex contexts they exist in. Residuality theory provides an alternative to the vague methods by which OOP, SOA, and microservice approaches arrive at system designs and most importantly places non-functional properties as first class citizens of design efforts. Residuality theory allows us to consider business, software, and infrastructure architecture across many different platforms and paradigms and allows us to describe architecture in the same way regardless of perspective. It allows us to describe approaches both for functional and non-functional requirements and for design, delivery and operation of applications. Residuality Theory paves the way for expressing architectures as mathematical structures which makes approaches like Model Based Systems Engineering [1] possible.Find the Residuality Theory, random simulation, and attractor networks through this link.Abstract: This article reviews earlier articles on the topic of residuality theory and places residuality theory in the context of the complexity sciences, relating the major concepts of residuality theory in terms of Kauffman Networks, complex networks, random simulations, and attractors. This paper aims to outline the logic of the theory and to expand on the use of matrices for encouraging emergent component decomposition, at the same time as proposing a related theory of software engineering that allows comparison between residuality theory and other approaches.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.020R - Antifragile (book summary)You can find the transcript through this link.What was the most interesting part for you?
