Choreographing the City
This project aims to create new techniques for analysing and designing systems for urban mobility. As well as offering engineering richer ways to deal with the cultural, emotional, and physical implications of movement in cities, it will offer choreographers the chance to work with problematics in urban design to create new work.
In the context of rapid urbanisation, the world is looking to engineers to design systems for healthy, sustainable, inclusive cities, and this will not be achieved without transforming the way people move around cities. Engineering needs radical approaches to challenge its assumptions about what can be achieved, and choreographic practice may help to do this.
