Projections, the biennial peer-reviewed Journal of the MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning, is now accepting abstracts for Projections 16, “Measuring the City: the facility of Urban Metrics”, to be published Fall 2022. Projections 16’s doctoral editors are MIT PhD candidates Chaewon Ahn, Carmelo Ignaccolo and Arianna Salazar Miranda.

The purpose of this volume is to initiate a discussion on the interplay between the epistemology of urban data, data-driven measurements, and therefore the politics of designing urban places. especially , this volume aims to: 1) critically evaluate the character of the urban data that’s ceaselessly generated; 2) investigate how the understanding of city life is being fundamentally reshaped through data-driven models and measurements; and 3) demonstrate how these models interface with real-world politics of urban design in cities. the difficulty explores the three sequential stages of collecting, measuring, and implementing urban data under the title “Measuring the city: the facility of urban metrics.” We encourage contributions from across the fields of urban planning, design, and concrete science and Science, Technology, and Society (STS).
