LAEP Speaker Series: Siqi Zhu, Planning as Strategic Design
About the Lecture What is planning's relationship to design? In this lecture, I will argue for the necessity and efficacy of urban planning as a form of "strategic design", moving past traditional design's focus on discrete solutions -- be it a building or a landscape -- but borrowing traditional design's principles and methods to tackle systemic challenges like inequality, unaffordable housing, and climate change. Speaker Bio Siqi is an urban planner, technologist, and strategic designer who seamlessly integrates cities and technologies as dual focal points in his practice. With a strategic design mindset, he applies a creative combination of place-, community-, and technology-based solutions to complex, systemic urban challenges, such as climate change, infrastructural renewal, equitable development, and technological disruptions.
