Please try DispoMaps, our new iPhone app, developed by Jan Seeburger, one of our most brilliant PhD candidates.

Simple scenario: If you meet someone, and you’re on your way, but running late, the other person can see that you’re say, stuck in traffic, until you get there. Then you can dispose of your map. DispoMaps allows you to share your location with others, temporarily and anonymously. So it’s very different from Google Latitude. No need to register, and the other person doesn’t need to have the app.

Type: Workshop
Venue: Queensland University of Technology, Creative Industries Precinct Z2 Block, Level 3, Room 306
Time and Date: 12/11/2009 – 9:00am

Contact Phone: 07 3138 3556

We invite you to join us in a workshop with Alan Davies, Christy Collis, Emma Felton, Simon Freebody, Richard Brecknock and Marcus Foth, chaired by Terry Flew.

In the academic and policy literature that focuses on the rise of the creative economy, there is much attention given to inner cities as unique incubators of creativity, talent and “buzz”. Yet it is the case that, at least in Australia’s largest cities, the majority of the population live and work in suburbs, and suburbanisation has been growing in recent years with planning for urban growth corridors and master planned communities. This seminar will consider the evidence surrounding the geographical location of both creative industries and creative workforce, and what implications it presents for urban planning, creative industries research and arts and cultural policy.

Thursday, 12 November 2009

Venue: Queensland University of Technology
