Autorenporträt

Miodrag Mitrainovi¿ is a Professor of Urbanism and Architecture at Parsons School of Design. His scholarly work focuses on the role design plays as an agent of social and political change, and as a catalyst for critical urban transformations. His research argues for the centrality of designing in the conceptualization, socio-spatial production, and representation of democratic and participatory urban space. His work also focuses on the generative capacity and infrastructural dimensions of public space, specifically at the intersections of urban and public design, social justice, and public policy. Miodrag is the co-editor of the The Emerging Public Realm of the Greater Bay Area: Approaches to Public Space in a Chinese Megaregion (Routledge 2021); Cooperative Cities (2018); editor of Concurrent Urbanities: Designing Infrastructures of Inclusion (Routledge 2016); co-editor of Travel, Space, Architecture (Routledge 2009); and author of Total Landscape, Theme Parks, Public Space (Routledge 2006). Vikas Mehta is a Professor of Urbanism at the School of Planning at the University of Cincinnati. His research explores the various dimensions of urbanity through the exploration of place as a social and ecological setting and as a sensorial art. Mehta is the co-editor of Companion to Public Space (Routledge 2020); editor of Public Space (Routledge 2015), an anthology of 98 chapters; co-author of 101 Things I Learned in Urban Design School (2018); and author of The Street: A Quintessential Social Public Space (Routledge 2013) that received the 2014 Book Award from the Environmental Design Research Association.
