The resulting proposals, which will be presented at MoMA in November 2014, will consider how emergent forms of tactical urbanism can respond to alterations in the nature of public space, housing, mobility, spatial justice, environmental conditions, and other major issues in near-future urban contexts.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EUrban Case Study Teams:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENew York:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;SITU Studio, New York, and Cohabitation Strategies (CohStra), Rotterdam and New York\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERio de Janeiro:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;RUA Arquitetos, Rio de Janeiro, and MAS Urban Design, ETH Zurich\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMumbai:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;URBZ: user-generated cities, Mumbai, and Ensamble Studio\/MIT-POPlab, Madrid and Cambridge\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELagos:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;NL\u00c9, Lagos and Amsterdam, and Zoohaus\/Inteligencias Colectivas, Madrid\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHong Kong:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;MAP Office, Hong Kong, and Network Architecture Lab, Columbia University, New York\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIstanbul:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Superpool, Istanbul, and Atelier d\u2019Architecture Autog\u00e9r\u00e9e, Paris\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EView reflections on the Uneven Growth curatorial process at\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/post.at.moma.org\/themes\/15-uneven-growth-reflections-on-a-curatorial-process\u0022\u003Epost\u003C\/a\u003E, the online platform of MoMA\u2019s research initiative Contemporary and Modern Art Perspectives in a Global Age (C-MAP).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp class=\u0022top\u0022\u003EIn 2030, the world\u2019s population will be a staggering eight billion people.
