Abstract

ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, the study of urbanism has flourished in powerful disciplines and institutions that had long ignored cities. At the same time, for those working in fields with long urban traditions it has been more difficult to find common ground, to work contstructively through our differences as we search for justice amidst the evolutionary inequalities of an urbanizing planet. People in cities, as well as people who do urban “research,” are struggling to listen and learn from one another amidst intensifying competition. In this essay, I describe how Robert Lake’s adaptation of pragmatism for the twenty-first century offers a hopeful, intergenerational project of “conversational urbanism” for the collective but diversifying human pursuit of better lives.
