{UAH} From Industrial to Social Sensitive Planning

I am looking towards changing the concept of spatial (interrelatedness of sparely different areas) and physical planning (housing, sewer, roads, utility, amenities design) in our education system to be more sensitive to aspects like i.e. city were working mothers and children, the elderly, people with disabilities can freely enjoy living as a community.

If we could develop a concept of how such towns can look like, we can try it out in Uganda. Africans live with their old instead of the aged being thrown into sanatoriums as if being old is being sickly. In fact this will make it possible for the old to take care of their grandchildren instead of condemning babies to kindergartens which also has a tendency of anti social abnormality intellectual wise (organic solidarity). Cost wise it is devastating to families hence a potential to act as a generative mechanism to unintended invents.

This requires more than just having ideas since it affects architecture and infrastructure engineering; such as; road works design, urban housing architecture, transport planning and engineering.  I tend to think urban morphologies based on industrial sensibilities are completely out of setup with contemporary society needs.

It will be a pleasure, if we could work together to bring these views forward, through training, conferencing and research. If there are scholars interested I do welcome them to contact me at info[at]siup.ac.ug
