Let's Retrospect the Smart
On the invitation of Association of Architects Agra, i presented a lecture on emerging subject of 'smart cities'. My talk, 'Let’s Retrospect the SMART Revisiting the ideas of architecture, technology and progress towards the current discourse of ‘smart cities', considered the historical dimensions of the concept of 'smart', progress, development and modernity. It also covered briefly the Nehruvian era of development and the post-liberal 'impatient capitalism' (Mehrotra, 2011) to argue for better vision of 'smart'.
The talk took a leaf from the academic collaboration, Holistic Sustainable Concepts, between me and my friend, Aurgho Jyoti.
