SUMMARY:Geography Speaker Series: The Map in the Machine: Charting the Spatial Architecture of Digital Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Digital technologies have changed how we shop\, work\, play\, and communicate\, reshaping our societies and economies. To understand digital capitalism\, we need to grasp how advances in geospatial technologies underpin the construction\, operation\, and refinement of markets for digital goods and services. In this talk\, based on his recent book\, The Map in the Machine\, Luis F. Alvarez León examines these advances\, from MapQuest and Google Maps to the rise of IP geolocation\, ridesharing\, and a new Earth Observation satellite ecosystem. He develops a geographical theory of digital capitalism centered on the processes of location\, valuation\, and marketization to provide a new vantage point from which to better understand and intervene in the dominant techno-economic paradigm of our time. By centering the spatiality of digital capitalism\, Alvarez León shows how this system is the product not of seemingly intangible information clouds but rather of a vast array of technologies\, practices\, and infrastructures deeply rooted in place\, mediated by geography\, and open to contestation and change. \nReferences: Alvarez León\, L. F. (2024). The map in the machine: Charting the spatial architecture of digital capitalism. University of California Press. https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520389328/the-map-in-the-machine \nLuis Felipe Alvarez León is Associate Professor of Geography at Dartmouth College. In 2016\, he completed his PhD in Geography at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, and was presented with the Best Dissertation Award by the AAG Economic Geography Specialty Group (EGSG). From 2016 to 2018\, he was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Sol Price Center for Social Innovation and in 2018 he was Visiting Assistant Professor of Urban and Economic Geography at Clark University. His work focuses on the political economy of geospatial data\, media\, and technologies. He is currently working on the geographies of autonomous vehicles\, and the changing political economy of remote sensing. He is the author of The Map in the Machine: Charting the Spatial Architecture of Digital Capitalism (University of California Press\, 2024). \nCo-sponsored by Bloustein School’s Urban Planning and  Masters of Public Informatics program and the School of Management and Labor Relations \nContact: Andrea Marston

SUMMARY:TOD in Your Downtown Forum -- Affordable Housing + TOD: Obligations and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:This event\, hosted by NJTOD\, Downtown New Jersey\, and NJ TRANSIT’s Transit Friendly Planning (TFP) Program will bring together experts from public agencies\, nonprofit organizations\, and the private sector to share their experiences with affordable housing in downtowns across New Jersey. Affordable housing is not only a legal obligation in New Jersey but also vital contributor to the vibrancy of our Main Streets and the success of equitable transit-oriented development (e-TOD). \nWith the release of the fourth-round regulations of the Council of Affordable Housing (COAH)\, many municipalities across the state will need to plan for additional affordable housing units. The panel will discuss their experiences in developing affordable and mixed-income housing\, strategies for meeting affordable housing obligations\, and approaches to equitably locating affordable housing. Panelists will also highlight best practices for leveraging e-TOD to create new affordable housing in transit-rich neighborhoods. \nRSVP HERE \nNJTOD\, published since 2005\, is designed to keep municipal officials\, planners\, and advocates up-to-date on the potential for development and redevelopment around transit stations. This partnership between NJ TRANSIT and the Bloustein School’s Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center (VTC) at Rutgers University aims to enrich the transit-oriented development (TOD) conversation in New Jersey’s diverse communities by highlighting what is happening in the state and around the country: best practices\, model programs\, legislation\, and local problem-solving experiences. \nDowntown New Jersey is a non-profit membership organization of individuals\, businesses\, developers\, government agencies\, and local and regional entities that are passionate about downtowns. Downtowns reflect our communities’ unique identities\, provide a focal point\, a convenient local place of commerce\, and offer a sense of place where people can gather and truly be a community. DNJ provides advocacy\, education\, and technical assistance resources dedicated to ensuring the vitality of our downtowns. \nThe Transit Friendly Planning Program at NJ TRANSIT is a community-focused planning program at New Jersey’s statewide public transportation agency. It offers decades of experience in assisting municipalities across New Jersey with community engagement\, data\, education\, strategic partnerships\, and technical assistance centered around station area planning. The Program strives to promote equitable\, economically resilient\, and environmentally sustainable development that improves the quality of life for all.

SUMMARY:Inside the Black Box: Mapping Neighborhood Boundaries in a Muslim Informal Settlement. Case of Jamia Nagar\, Delhi\, India
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Zehra Mahdi\, Fulbright-Nehru Doctoral Research Fellow at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and doctoral candidate at the Department of Architecture and Regional Planning\, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)\, Kharagpur\, India. Her doctoral research focuses on neighborhood change in informal settlements in Delhi\, India that are predominantly inhabited by the Muslim community and influenced by the presence of anchor institutions. \nMuslim spaces in India are often characterized by a socio-spatial bundle of attributes enmeshed in planning informalities. They are frequently viewed through a lens of opaqueness and homogeneity by the State\, planners\, policy-makers\, and other residents. Such a generalization of space leads to stigmatization and uneven distribution of State resources. This talk illustrates the internal heterogeneity and dynamics of socio-spatial organization within Muslim spaces. It examines how residents define their neighborhoods by evoking spatial and non-spatial variables of distinctions\, and how their perception and delineation of neighborhoods differ based on their positionality. It then provides a method to reach consensus from multiple\, overlapping boundaries to operational neighborhood units. It is an attempt to move beyond the binaries of formal-informal\, religious\, and ethnic groups as black-box typifications in urban spaces\, and to counter map admin-political boundaries ‘from below’ by accounting for residents’ sensibilities\, agency\, and consensus.
