As is the case in the UK, the privatization of public infrastructure have deteriorated alarmingly, by privately held management and lack of public investment. The situation in the United States was clamorous with the pass of Hurricane Sandy and uncoordinated electrical infrastructure, organized in fragmented and unclosed circuits, by relying on independent private companies. Same problem, even without debate have the UK rail system. Now MIT wants to consider a short but intense analysis with this conference on 8 and 9 April.

This high-level forum will feature distinguished designers, scholars, policy makers, urban practitioners and industry leaders from assorted fields such as real estate development, finance, and transportation to convene over discussions as to the future of American infrastructure. The program will commence on the evening of 8th April and will conclude in the afternoon 9th April. 

Our post-war urban infrastructures have aged and on a daily basis new voices speak to the urgent need for their replacement and reconstruction. Can a typical American city be transformed from a collection of fragments assembled regionally by interstate highways, to a more durable regional constitution, using targeted infrastructural investment projects?  This question frames the first conference of the Center for Advanced Urbanism. 

Venue.- MIT Media Lab. 75 Amherst Street. Cambridge, MA 02139. USA.
Dates.- Apr 8, 2013 to Apr 9, 2013.
