      • The teaching component of the NSL seeks to impart the knowledge and skills needed to develop the standard strengths of spatial planning and their interaction as well as the ability to develop strategies for the solution of spatial problems. These are central prerequisites for a responsible and successful exercise of planning functions in the service of the public commonwealth and of private companies. Especially important in fufilling these prerequisites is the quality of university-level education: graduate and post-graduate work as well as professional development in spatial, urban and landscape planning. The ETH Zurich has offered programmes such as continuing education courses and post-graduate programmes (NDS, now MAS) since 1965. The NSL (Network City and Landscape) is responsible for these courses and programmes.

Worlds of Planetary Urbanization

22 May to 21 November 2021 | 17th International Architecture Exhibition Venice: How will we live together? | Neil Brenner (Urban Theory Lab-Chicago), Christian Schmid / Milica Topalović (ETH Zürich).

Worlds of Planetary Urbanization proposes a radical rethinking of our understanding of the contemporary urban world. This project explores interdependencies—between agglomerations and hinterlands; political-economic and biogeophysical processes; and local, national and global scales – in order to stimulate reflection on ‘living together’ under conditions of planetary urbanization.

Neil Brenner (Urban Theory Lab-Chicago) with Christian Schmid and Milica Topalović (ETH Zürich D-ARCH and FCL Singapore) will participate in the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Hashim Sarkis.

The Urban Theory Lab contribution presents a series of digital globes that reveal disparate visions of an urbanized planet. ETH Zürich D-ARCH and FCL Singapore team explore urbanization processes unfolding far beyond the realm of agglomerations, urban and mega city-regions. Through research essays, photographs and cartographic work by Philippe Rekacewicz, the unprecedented patterns and pathways of extended urbanization are portrayed in six world regions: Eastern Amazonia (Brazil), Arcadia (Greece), Dongguan (China), the West African Corridor (Benin), the North Sea, and the Midwest Corn Belt (USA). The exhibit highlights the urgency of formulating new theoretical and cartographic perspectives on urbanization, animated by the goal of envisioning a more socially and environmentally just world.
