The Stranger

The German urban planner Thomas Sieverts is stuck on the in-between. In Where We Live Now (a Sieverts-centric anthology edited by Matthew Stadler), he rejects dividing urban from suburban, local from global, anything from anything: We all apparently live in a dynamic, polycentric built environment now. Sieverts is in town for several days of lectures, interviews, and this screening of Police Beat—a crime movie that is really a hymn to displacement. (MoMA recently acquired Police Beat, written by Charles Mudede based on his Stranger column, for its permanent collection.) After the screening, Sieverts, Stadler, and Mudede will discuss.
