The panelists:
• Ashok B. Lall, Architect and Professor at School of Planning & Architecture • Dinesh Mohan, Volvo Chair Professor Emeritus at Transportation Research & Injury Prevention Programme (TRIPP), IIT • Debashish Tripathy, Vice President IL&FS Environmental Infrastructure & Services Limited The panel discussion would be moderated by journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta. The exhibition "Post-Oil City: The History of the City’s Future" presents innovative projects in Asia, Africa, and America that address urgent questions: "How will the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy affect the process of urban planning and the city?", "How will the use of renewable energies affect urban metabolism and the politics of sustainability and mobility?" "Post-Oil City" is as much about the future as it is about the past. As indicated by the exhibition’s subtitle - "The History of the City’s Future" - every vision of the future is based on a vision of the past. By contrasting 11 current projects in the field of sustainable urban planning with 9 from the past, the exhibition aims to show that many of today’s developments have their roots in the urban utopias of mid-20th century modernism.
