"Innovation and Developing Countries: Prospects for a shared society
SUSTAINABLE FUTURES
The Earth Institute-GSAPP Joint Forum on the Built Environment

Prof. Smita Srinivas, Urban Planning and Director of the Technological
Change Lab (TCLab) Columbia University, will be speaking at the
Sustainable Futures series, a joint program between the Earth
Institute and the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and
Preservation (GSAPP). Prof. Srinivas's talk will be focusing on how a
different approach to technological innovation in developing countries
could lead us to very different economic and built outcomes for a
shared future. She will begin by discussing standard models on
innovation, alternate economic and institutional lenses to industrial
history, and will then pose an alternate view (see URL below for
paper), discussing examples and issues that professionals should
address."
