As we head into a short break during Thanksgiving week, dean Stuart Shapiro interviews Juan Ayala, a professor in the school’s world-ranked urban planning program. Their discussion begins with the distinctions between architecture and urban design, emphasizing the historical separation of individual building design and broader urban landscape planning. Ayala highlights the crucial role of urban designers as bridges between architects and planners, illustrating how comprehensive plans, driven by design research and guided by urban designers, can positively impact communities. He also talks about the evolving nature of urban design, incorporating technology, STEM, and visualization to enhance accessibility, inclusivity, and public engagement in the design process. Ayala also advocates for the use of digital technology to illustrate complex information and suggests a resurgence of visual technology for community participation with a greater focus at the government level. He concludes with a discussion of his teaching approach, where he emphasizes incremental learning, conceptual planning, and visualization exercises in his urban design courses to empower students to make informed decisions and find their unique approaches to the field.

This week on EJB Talks dean Stuart Shapiro and Associate Dean of Research Clint Andrews discuss the vital role federal-funded university research plays in complementing education, driving innovation, and solving real-world problems. Clint highlights why government funding is essential, as much research benefits society beyond what private entities can support. He also explains how cuts to indirect cost reimbursements of university research funding could lead to not only tuition hikes and reduced services, but also the loss of academic talent if it is coupled with the country closing its borders and weakened U.S. global competitiveness. He closes the discussion by illustrating the positive impact of federal funding, sharing a recently completed National Science Foundation project on micromobility safety that led to practical urban planning and technology collaboration and innovations.…

Will highlights the state's strengths, such as its strategic location and industry concentrations, but notes that future policies related to the new presidential administration, particularly around tariffs, immigration, and housing affordability, could significantly influence the state's economic trajectory.…

1 Understanding the Politics of Community Health Centers and Place-Based Healthcare with Emily Parker 18:32
This week Stuart Shapiro talks to Assistant Professor Emily Parker about her research interests in community health centers and how they originated from her work assisting with Affordable Care Act implementation in New York state. In this EJB Talks episode, she explains what federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are and their history in serving underserved communities.
