DESCRIPTION:El Hadi Jazairy\nGeographical Urbanism\nPublic Lecture by El H
 adi Jazairy\, DESIGN EARTH\n\n \nAbstract:\nThe mandate for clean urbanis
 m has rested on the city’s capacity to divest itself of the environmenta
 l cost of rapidly expanding consumer culture\, relegating responsibility f
 or the inevitable waste products of urbanization to geographic entities be
 yond its jurisdiction. Because such spaces are beyond the zones of occupat
 ion of urban citizens\, their sites\, forms and types are muted and locked
  away into out-of-sight-out-of-mind.\nSuch constructed abstractions have w
 orked as powerful tools to contain and depoliticize both geography and urb
 anism. The precise agency of design is to ask of each to speak to the othe
 r. Does it matter whether geography and urbanism are thought and drawn tog
 ether? Does it matter whether geographies are represented and imagined? Wh
 at is the role of a geographic imagination in urbanism?\n \nBio:\nEl Hadi
