Post-War Transformations in Computing, Urbanism, and Knowledge Cultures - Nathalie Bredella
This talk situates postwar urbanism within broader historiographical debates on reconstruction, modernization, and the production of urban knowledge. It asks: How did computational thinking reshape the imagination of the city in the postwar era? In what ways did data-driven design transform the epistemological foundations of urban planning and the techniques of urban governance? By pursuing these questions, the presentation examines how emerging computational models reoriented the conceptualization, planning, and governance of cities in the decades after World War II.
