>If there was any doubt about the pervasiveness of wireless
>communications technologies in modern cities, it was swept away by the
>terrorist attacks of September 11. From the gridlock of East Coast
>cellular networks to the tracking of Al Qaeda leaders? satellite
>phones that crisis brought attention to the basic human needs for
>constant communications. Wireless communications are now interwoven
>through all aspects of modern urban life, both in crisis and in
>everyday activities.
>
>This workshop will gather an inter-disciplinary group of scholars,
>thinkers, and practitioners to discuss the ways in which wireless
>communications are helping shape the future of cities as flexible,
>dynamic, and vibrant sites for human interaction. Do mobile phones
>make cities more livable or less? How do wireless interactions enhance
>or detract from our interactions with the people and places around us?
>What warning signs are there of negative outcomes from the spread of
>mass mobile communications? What demands are wireless users making on
>urban infrastructure and public spaces?
>
>As we begin rebuilding lower Manhattan, it is essential that our
>visions address the important role of mass mobile communications on
>the future of cities. This workshop will attempt to reconcile the many
>ways in which people, cities, and wireless technologies are reshaping
>each other in the contemporary city.
>
>Complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access will be provided throughout the
>duration of the conference. We will also provide a local chat system
>for conference participants.
>
>Continental breakfast will be served.
