From Future Anticipation to Deep-time Thinking

Asserting the production of time inherently implies acknowledging the diversity of temporal experiences that are embedded in different cultures, geographies, economic and political systems. In this second episode, we talk with Hannes Langguth who analyses Time as an (infra)structuring element in the future-making of the urban that allows for crucial insights into the construction of power and inequality. He further suggests we consider time as a key factor in shaping our collective future by specifically taking into account ‘deep-time thinking’. The episode is part of the podcast series Time Out@What’s Next (run by the Chair of Planning Theory and Urban Development, RWTH Aachen University), which invites listeners and guests to take a moment to think about time and how it values for us as individuals and as collectives.
