How can urban planners be trained to create smart cities?
The fundamental concepts of urban planning, such as placemaking, transit-oriented development, and historic preservation, are very important for smart cities. Furthermore, these concepts should be well aligned with engineering concepts, such as transportation/transit offering, demand accessibility, and mobility, as well as economic development. However, internet technology and data science are skills that urban planners definitely have to learn if they are interested in creating smart cities.

Harnessing the Cultural Production of Bahareque in Manizales Colombia: Community-based Practices as the Foundation of Community Development Strategies
Georgetown University
This project analyzes the use of bahareque, a vernacular building construction practice in the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia. Bahareque is a feasible alternative to tackle the housing deficit in the neighborhood district of San Jose in the city of Manizales. It is affordable, has low carbon emissions, proven earthquake resistance, and cultural significance. Best practices in Asia and South America were reviewed. Spatial analysis of San Jose using ArcGIS online identified potential…
This project analyzes the use of bahareque, a vernacular building construction practice in the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia. Bahareque is a feasible alternative to tackle the housing deficit in the neighborhood district of San Jose in the city of Manizales. It is affordable, has low carbon emissions, proven earthquake resistance, and cultural significance. Best practices in Asia and South America were reviewed. Spatial analysis of San Jose using ArcGIS online identified potential places to develop this bahareque housing. Bahareque can help people living in the slums of Manizales to obtain decent and safe houses, teaching that even forgotten building practices are useful for solving current urban problems. Bahareque has a great cultural history and the potential to reduce emissions, and it also provides affordable, safe, and comfortable housing for people in the coffee cultural landscape of Colombia.
