Forest City Scale Model Malaysia | Nicole Kobie WIRED | 2016

As EPP concludes a busy and productive semester I want to reflect again on our sadness at losing two of our faculty mainstays mdash Professors Judy Layzer and JoAnn Carmin We all sense their presence and their loss Also I also want to say how much we appreciate the efforts of our four new faculty colleagues Professors Janelle Knox-Hayes David Hsu Mariana Arcaya and Justin Stein They are central to our teaching advising research and practice Also we look forward to Professor Peter Del Tredici a highly regarded urban ecologist joining us next year Every year we invite four or five Post-Doctoral Fellows to join our community Christian Downie from Australia offers some reflections on his DUSPEPP visit this past year

In this spring newsletter we highlight current research of EPP faculty and students (particularly those who recently completed MCP theses and PHD dissertations) We also summarize the exciting presentations made by visiting speakers at our luncheon series this spring Finally we highlight the EPP courses we offered this semester and intend to offer next Fall mdash for those who want to understand the scope of the efforts in which we are engaged While EPP faculty and students are fully engaged in the activities of other groups in the Department and the Institute we are doing everything we can to maintain a predictable sequence of undergraduate and graduates classes in Environmental Policy and Planning and to push our shared research frontier forward

We have just completed graduate admissions for Fall 2016 EPP will be welcoming 13 new masterrsquos students and one or two new doctoral students MCP applications were at their highest level ever And the quality of applications to both the MCP and PHD programs continues to be extraordinary Every entering student will receive some financial aid The new Dean of the School of Architecture and Planning Hashim Sarkis has indicated that his goal is to make DUSP a tuition-free department MITrsquos recently announced $5 billion fund-raising Campaign might make that doable

The MIT Science Impact Collaborative which serves as a kind of ldquoholding companyrdquo for some of EPPrsquos research projects continues to expand its operation SIC sponsors the Water Diplomacy Workshop with Tufts University the Mexico Renewable Energy Siting Project and the Cambridge Climate Adaptation and Public Health Initiative The MIT-Malaysia Sustainable Cities Program brought another 10 scholars from across the developing world to MIT for the spring semester to develop teaching materials (for

EPP faculty continue to experiment with on-line education and new media strategies for enhancing classroom learning at MIT We are working to create MOOCs and on-line Professional Education Programs with MITx and Edx We hope to take the lead within DUSP in reformulating how we might teach in more user friendly ways mdash both in class and online

Last yearrsquos graduates all found work This yearrsquos graduates are in the process of lining up jobs Last yearrsquos EPP PHD graduates are finishing their first year as Assistant Professors at topnotch universities We are extremely proud of everyonersquos accomplishments We will continue to push hard to forge closer ties within the EPP community mdash current students and faculty as well as alumni and international partners Please let us know what you are doing Visit us or join us on Facebook (MIT EPP)

The old adage that the first time is always the best was certainly not true in my case In September 2015 I had the privilege of spending a semester at DUSP as a visiting post doc five years after I first visited as a PhD student With an interest in US energy policy I was fortunate to be able to reunite with Professor Larry Susskind to work under his supervision While Cambridge is a long way from the University of New South Wales in Sydney where I work I can think of few better places to immerse yourself as a researcher especially with an interest in climate and energy policy than the EPP group at MIT For one there is a lovely collegiality among the Faculty and students which was extended to me despite my status as an interloper The regular EPP lunches were an excellent way to get know the many inspiring students working across some of the most pressing environmental problems we face particularly in energy policy I remain grateful for the conversations that followed as both students and faculty kindly shared their insights on my work and I hope benefited from my thoughts on theirsIt was also a luxury to have the time to devote a semester to my writing in such an environment My aim was to complete most of the manuscript for my latest book provisionally entitled lsquoAmerican corporations energy and climate changersquo which seeks to under how and why corporate actors are shaping the rules that govern energy in the US And what are the implications for global energy governance This task was made easier by being able to connect not just with the DUSP community but the wider group of researchers spread across MIT and indeed Cambridge There are many wonderful aspects of living in Sydney Australia not just the fact that you can swim at the beach all year round but like many places in the world we do not have the concentration of funding and research that exists in a place like Cambridge something that one should never take for granted I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a place and I encourage the DUSP faculty to continue such exchanges so that other researchers can benefit from the rich intellectual community and no doubt add to it as wellI look forward to crossing paths with many of you in the future and it would be lovely to extend the academic hospitality to any of you wishing to visit Australia

To start with a basic question what happens when you introduce a new disruptive technology to provide electricity to a place that has never had sufficient cheap or reliable electricity before Approximately 12 billion people or 17 of the world population lack access to any electricity and especially in India which has more than a third of the people in the world without electricity Microgrids have been proposed or built in many places where the grid cannot reach and a recent comprehensive review commissioned by the UN and other groups identifies critical factors in the development of microgrids that interact either through virtuous cycles that lead to long-term success or else vicious cycles that lead to struggles and eventual failure Researchers at MIT EECS and the Tata Center for Technology + Design have developed an experimental microgrid technology mdash uLink mdash to be much more flexible and scalable than existing microgrids but in order to research the potential of the uLink technology it still has to be deployed and implemented at scale David Hsu supported by the Tata Center will be conducting a series of fast interventions and evaluations in order to evaluate potential failure modes and to analyze risks in any larger deployment of uLink technology

Human and natural systems are becoming increasingly mismatched in their scale of operation and production In response policy makers are turning increasing attention to environmental financemdashthe pricing of environmental goods and externalities through financial mechanisms With this project I investigate the initiation and evolution of international environmental finance through investigation of financial centers their organizations actors and processes The study analyzes the institutionalization of environmental finance by investigating its initiation in prominent financial and political centers including New York San Francisco Chicago London Paris BeijingTianjin Shanghai Singapore Hong Kong Seoul Shanghai and Tokyo Specifically the analytical focus lies on the market makers in these cities as elucidated through interviews with financial and policy experts

Through the perspectives of market makers the project explores the establishment of emissions trading as a form of I find that international efforts to promulgate markets run up against local cultures of markets that shape economic practices and knowledge to different degrees While the global agenda under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has sought to develop similar systems to enable interconnected and synchronized emissions reductions each of the cases analyzed here has produced different results Markets and climate policies established reflect the syncretic impact of socio-political and cultural context on the institutional transfer of markets Each country expresses a varying degree of ease or unease with the establishment of markets as systems of climate governance Exploration of market adaptation adds new insights to theories of varieties of capitalism

During the Spring 2016 semester Associate Professor Janelle Knox-Hayes supported by Fulbright fellowship examined the influence of cultural values on decision-making and policy with respect to sustainable development in the Arctic specifically in a pilot study in Iceland The project is designed to investigate the dynamic tensions of sustainable development at the interface of culture and political economy by examining meanings and practices of sustainability as they are mediated through initiatives that operate across global and local scales Through in-depth fieldwork interviews surveys and GIS visualization Dr Knox-Hayes will study how cultural political and economic institutions influence concepts and processes of sustainability One of the goals of the study is to identify core values of sustainable development as well as potential bridge concepts terms that bridge scientific rational and normative value Bridge concepts are essential to the creation of new metrics of valuation Using surveys and GIS techniques these concepts will then be compared across socio demographic characteristics and geographically mapped By addressing the transmission and syncretic internalization of sustainability within cultural context the project provides a basis for building flexibility into international environmental discourses and agreements as well as a path towards the creation of more sustainable mechanisms of valuation Dr Knox-Hayes was accompanied during IAP by graduating EPP MCP Holly Jacobson

Justin Steil MIT and Jacob Faber NYUPlace race and the law intersect in particularly explicit ways in the passage of early 20th century zoning ordinances requiring ldquothe use of separate blocks for residences places of abode and places of assembly by white and colored people respectivelyrdquo State v Gurry (1913) These laws were enacted as Jim Crow became entrenched in the rural South and African Americans moved in greater numbers to cities As the black population in Southern cities increased and expanded into formerly all-white neighborhoods white residents sought to draw racialized boundaries around their property Baltimore enacted a comprehensive racial zoning ordinance in 1910 and 30 cities throughout the South quickly followed adopting identical or similar segregation policies The first three state courts to consider these policies however all struck them down and there was considerable uncertainty regarding the validity of these laws until the Supreme Court invalidated them in Buchanan v Warley (1917) Roger Gould (2003) has suggested that social and political instability especially instability that affects the social supports for established status relations contributes to increases in violence This interpersonal and intergroup conflict is especially likely where group solidarity is questioned or group status challenged as was the case with the seeming inability of white residents to ldquoprotectrdquo what they saw as ldquotheirrdquo neighborhoods This paper analyzes the relationship between racial zoning laws and racialized violence in the form of lynchings and race riots to test the applicability of Gouldrsquos theory of conflict and explore its relationship to particularly territorial policies and conflicts

The Sacred Lands Project (SLP) of the MIT-Harvard Public Disputes Program explores the idea of sacred lands disputes as a subset of public conflicts We expect that mediators need an understanding of and sensitivity for the concept of sacred lands and the symbols that attach to them Our hope is to develop a set of teachable practices for mediators working in the context of sacred land conflicts specifically as well as when sacred land disputes are embedded in larger conflicts

SLP will explore theoretical questions of the sacredness of land and the intersection of religion and politics as well as practical questions concerning the mediation of conflicts over sacred places We will analyze the roles of religious leaders as protectors of sacred places from their positions as spiritual and political leaders and the roles and relationships of secular political leaders to religious leaders including how they coordinate on the need to protect andor respond to threats against sacred lands In addition we will reflect on differences between traditional interpretations and adherent beliefs related to protecting of sacred lands To do so SLP will initiate discussions among academics practitioners and disputants to explore the uniqueness of sacred land conflicts and to generate ideas for constructing approaches and strategies for mediating these conflicts We expect that mediators working in the realm of conflicts over sacred places in both domestic and international settings will appreciate the opportunity to think specifically about and develop strategies for this challenging and unique component of public conflicts

The class introduces the theory of participatory action research (PAR) and more generally competing ideas about social inquiry and the uses of applied social science to promote social justice The focus is on the epistemological

foundations of action research the ethics of knowledge generation the role of the ldquofriendly outsiderrdquo and arguments for and against PAR as a scientific method

The Theory of Participatory Action Research

Conventional legislative administrative and judicial means of resolving resource allocation and policy disputes in the public sector often produce less than satisfactory results This is true in democracies around the world Planners

policy-makers developers and advocates of the poor concerned about the fairness efficiency stability and wisdom of public sector decision-making are searching for better ways of resolving public policy conflicts Recent advances in the theory and practice of negotiation and dispute resolution are therefore of great interest This seminar is designed for graduate students with no prior background or experience in the fields of negotiation or dispute resolution Lectures scenarios case studies and role-play simulations are used to introduce students to the ldquoartrdquo and ldquosciencerdquo of negotiation and consensus building The class also provides an intensive opportunity for each student to build his or her individual negotiating capabilities Occasional guest lectures by well-known practitioners provide an opportunity for students to test some of the theoretical ideas presented in class against issues that arise in practice Some of the most important work in the field of dispute resolution is being done at the inter-university Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School (PON) The Department of Urban Studies and Planning is well represented at the Program through the work of students and faculty affiliated with the MIT-Harvard Public Disputes Program 11255 builds on the last three decades of research at PON

This seminar introduces students to core writings in the field of urban sociology and explores the creative dialecticmdashand sometimes conflictmdashbetween sociology and urban policy and design Topics include the changing conceptions of

ldquocommunityrdquo the effects of neighborhood characteristics on individual outcomes the significance of social capital and networks the drivers of categorical inequality and the interaction of social structure and political power We examine several of the key theoretical paradigms that have constituted sociology since its founding assess how and why they have changed over time and discuss the implications of these shifts for urban research and planning practice The course has two primary aims (1) To give students a more critical appreciation of the contemporary comparative and historical contexts in which planning skills and sensibilities have been developed and are applied and (2) To offer a ldquosociology of knowledgerdquo approach to the field of urban sociology The seminar will take place in the Massachusetts Correctional Institution in Norfolk with half of the class from MIT and half of the class from MCI Norfolk The location and composition of the class was chosen based on the belief that bringing together students of sociology and urban studies who are incarcerated with those who are at MIT will create a unique and valuable environment in which to generate new knowledge about our social world and the repeated mechanisms that contribute to persistent socio-economic inequality and other pressing social problems

As ever larger numbers of people live outside the country of their birth and the world is increasingly urbanized cities across the globe are being reshaped by immigrants The increasing share of foreign born residents presents

opportunities for local governments and also challenges of social and political incorporation Of all levels of government immigrants interact most with local governments and immigrantsrsquo access to opportunity like that of the native-born is profoundly shaped by urban policies This course presents research from law sociology political science and urban studies on immigration and immigrant incorporation at the local level Although the majority of the readings focus on the United States the readings also compare the US to experiences of migration globally

Healthy Cities

Infrastructure is hard to define for many reasons it is built and endures over long periods of time often over a range of geographic scales it has physical technological social and economic aspects it is composed of systems

institutions individuals behaviors expectations and culture it often takes new forms in new settings and situations and it has many consequences in cities both intended and not Infrastructure is also often invisible to its users since most people have rarely considered if ever where their energy water food or materials come from However the pervasive nature of computing technologies paradoxically make physical infrastructures more visible by revealing how information and data can be used to shape the world that everyone lives inThis class seeks to abstract theories of infrastructure from particular situations by theory by examining specific case studies that illustrate how these theories manifests themselves and by considering how these infrastructures may be changing with the impact of digital technologies

The Schumpeterian notion of technological innovation as ldquothe engine of growthrdquo is being

challenged as the globalization of trade is increasingly seen as the driving force of industrial economies With the establishment of the World Trade Organization implementing trading regimes serious questions have been raised concerning the effects of global trade on sustainability which must be viewed broadly to include not only a healthy economic base but also a sound environment stable employment adequate purchasing power distributional equity national self-reliance and maintenance of cultural integrity Subject explores the many dimensions of sustainability and the use of national multinational and international political and legal mechanisms to further sustainable development

The goal of this course is to gain a deeper understanding of the role of science public opinion

policymakers and technological innovation in environmental policymaking In the process we will learn about how environmental policy decisions have been made in the United States and their relation to international decisions We will do this through a series of case studies on topics ranging from lead to climate change to endangered species conservation (The set of cases is not meant to be comprehensive but will expose students to a diversity of topics) These cases will reveal both the remarkable progress we have made in addressing a variety of environmental problems and the many reasons we have struggled to address other problems in a meaningful way Over the course of the semester our analysis will illuminate the role science plays in environmental politics as well as the factors that advance or impede progress on environmental policy

Urban ecology can be distinguished from its natural systems counterpart by the

integration of human cultural practices into the study of biological and geological systems Mastering the discipline of urban ecology requires dealing with issues related to the quality of air water and soil as modified by human action as well as with the complex economic social and cultural systems that dictate the flow of energy and raw materials throughout metropolitan regions Urban habitats are characterized by high levels of disturbance impervious paving and heat retention that alter environmental conditions in ways that promote the growth of stress-tolerant early successional plants that have become the de facto native vegetation of cities This 12-credit course examines how the interacting forces of urbanization globalization and climate change have shaped the ecology of our cities and how planning design and management strategies can enhance the social and environmental value of these emergent ecosystems
