Mike Davis: Planet of Slums talk @ CUNY on Wednesday.
I was introduced to Mike Davis' by TW when she was reading Under The Sun: The San Diego Tourists Never See. I was reintroduced to Mike Davis when Paul Chan mentioned Davis in a talk at work the other day.
Davis wrote Planet of Slums, an article on the effects of an increased urbanization of the globe without an increase in the infrastructure to support it. It's a good article that's been turned into a book. Mike Davis is speaking at CUNY in Manhattan on Wednesday. Unfortunately, it's the same night as my chat at the PlaNetwork Forum.
