== update Oct 12 2010: now truly, really done==<\/em><\/p>\n

At last and<\/em> alas, the end is getting in sight. I have become progressively more silent on this blog, as I was busy finishing my PhD dissertation, and doing other things, like writing\/curating\/organizing for The Mobile City<\/a>. I am just back from Shanghai, China, where Martijn and I have been organizing an event<\/a> about urban design and the hybrid city (in cooperation with Virtueel Platform<\/a>). More about this soon on The Mobile City’s weblog.<\/p>\n

The table of contents of the dissertation is as follows:<\/p>\n
