// The coming months Michiel and I will mostly be spending our time on the organization of our The Mobile City Event 2010: ‘Designing the Hybrid City‘ – a conference we are organizing in the context of the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai this summer together with Virtueel Platform. If you are in China this summer, do stop by, since we are also part of an exciting cluster of events called Adaptation: Designing the Future City.
This means that for the foreseeable future we probably won’t have much time to update this blog very often. So that’s why perhaps now is a good time to take a step back and see what we have been writing about since we started blogging here on October 29th 2007. Here is an overview of our best read articles since then:
