The next meetings of the Association of American Geographers will be in San
Francisco, April 17-21, 2007. Here is a call for papers for a panel we are
planning to organize.

AAG CFP: Infrastructure and Vulnerability in the In-Between City

Urban morphology around the world has moved beyond traditional forms
of downtown core and suburban sprawl. As Tom Sieverts has noted, much urban
growth falls somewhere in between, in the spaces found literally between
downtown and suburb, between the city and greenspaces, in areas
dominated by large investments in major infrastructure, such as highways,
airports, amusement parks, industrial parks. Despite such investment,
residential pockets within this landscape are frequently underserviced and
socially excluded. What is the relationship between the city's built landscape
and its social landscape in these areas? How are these landscapes factors in
the production of vulnerability to the effects of natural disaster, economic
crisis and social upheaval?

Papers on these issues in any city are welcome. Please send contact info and an
abstract to either Tricia Wood (pwood at yorku.ca) or Roger Keil (rkeil at yorku.ca)
by Sept. 30.
