SUMMARY:Preparing Communities for Data Center Development
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeWednesday\, March 4 (12-1:15 p.m.) \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationVirtual \n\n\n\n\n\nAn Innovative Cities Lecture\n\n\n\nAs data center development expands across Wisconsin and the Midwest\, communities are increasingly being approached by developers seeking land\, electricity\, and water. While these projects can bring significant investment\, they also raise complex questions related to zoning\, infrastructure capacity\, public finance\, and environmental impacts. \n\n\n\nThis session equips planners and local officials with the foundational knowledge needed before a data center proposal arrives—and the critical questions to ask when it does. Speakers will address the wide range of data center types\, Wisconsin’s 2023 data center tax exemption\, local zoning and policy tools\, and lessons from communities across the region. Case examples from Wisconsin\, the Midwest\, and the country will highlight strategies for managing\, attracting\, or limiting data center development in alignment with community goals. \n\n\n\nBiographies\n\n\n\nAllison Carlson is the Executive Director for the Wisconsin Local Government Climate Coalition. She is an energy and sustainability professional\, working over 15 years across a variety of roles in market research and evaluation\, government regulation and oversight\, program planning\, and administration. She has a keen eye toward the concerns of commissions\, utilities\, and local governments\, allowing for more informed and actionable solutions. Professional objectives are to foster a just and clean energy economy through supporting equitable policy and effective organizational systems and processes. Allison holds a Master of Public Affairs from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a BS in Finance\, Economics\, and International Business from UW-La Crosse. \n\n\n\nBridget Williams is a policy coordinator at the Great Plains Institute and facilitates the MISO Cities and Communities Coalition\, a group of local governments advocating for an electric grid that supports their goals to lower emissions\, strengthen resilience\, promote equity\, and foster economic opportunity. \n\n\n\nIn this role\, Bridget conducts research\, tracks regional and federal energy issues\, and develops educational materials to assist local governments with engaging grid decision-makers and developing high-impact local energy policies and programs. Bridget recently organized a webinar series to discuss the water and energy impacts of data centers and levers local governments can use to align data centers with local goals. Bridget has a BS in community and regional planning from Iowa State University and lives in Milwaukee\, WI.  \n\n\n\nKevin Lahner is the City Manager for Janesville\, WI\, managing strategic planning and employee engagement efforts.  Recent projects include coordinating the planning for a data center and updated City zoning code. Previously he was the City Administrator for the Waukesha\, WI\, where he managed the daily operations and administered the City’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan\, and Operating Budget. Kevin holds a Master of Public Administration from the University of North Texas and a BS in Communications-Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. \n\n\n\nLivestream Details\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister + Join Lecture\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAICP-CM credits will be awarded. If you have questions\, please contact Carolyn Esswein: cesswein@uwm.edu

SUMMARY:Mixing Realities\, A Consciousness of Mud
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeMarch 5\, 2026 (12:30-1:30 p.m.) \n\n \n\nLocationArchitecture & Urban Planning Building\, Jim Shields Gallery of Architecture & Urbanism (AUP 146) \n\n\n \nWestern literature\, architecture and game forms tend to focus on the story of a person against the backdrop of the world—the Rückenfigur\, the third-person perspective\, first-person shooter\, the hero\, the ego\, the genius\, the master\, the architect\, the individual. In this figure-ground relation\, the nonhuman world is also banished to the background. As a reparative and realist (but non-redemptive) form\, Multiplayer Mixed Reality\, ‘Mixed Presence’ Game Simulations and Interactions create nonnormative timeframes and interconnected systems without a singular protagonist and moral. \n \nThe work of Leah Wulfman develops nonnormative uses and playful misuses of technology through embodied physicality. Much of this work is centered around play and performativity\, and pairs game engine interactions and digital twins with their most physical\, material and ludic counterparts–dirt\, weeds\, trash\, plastic and foam. These mixed reality ecologies and interactions find their foundations in disability\, trans and queer embodied practice and politics\, and operate as lenses to reconfigure and recontextualize space and time orientations in architectural discourse beyond the normative. \n \nAbout Leah Wulfman\n \nLeah Wulfman is a Carrier Bag architect\, educator\, game designer\, digital puppeteer\, and occasional writer. Trained as an architect\, Wulfman assembles hybrid virtual and physical spaces in order to prototype new relationships to technology and nature\, as well as challenge normative ideologies so often reinforced by technology and architecture. In addition to mixed reality installations that play with and emphasize the physical\, material basis of everything digital\, their research focuses on gamified environments\, interactions and materials. \n \nWulfman holds a Bachelors of Architecture degree from Carnegie Mellon University and a Masters of Arts in Fiction and Entertainment from SCI-Arc. They have taught at numerous institutions in the United States\, including ArtCenter’s Media Design Practices Graduate Program\, IDEAS Program at UCLA Architecture and Urban Design\, SCI-Arc\, The School of Architecture at Taliesin\, and most recently University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, where they have developed youth programming and mixed reality coursework. Their research and design work has been supported by numerous residencies and publications\, and has been shown as part of various exhibitions and festivals\, including the Buenos Aires Architecture Biennale\, After School\, The FiDi Arsenale\, Space Saloon Design and Build Festival\, Open Engagement\, VIA Festival for Electronic Art and Music\, A Queer Query\, /imagine: A Journey into the New Virtual\, and The Wrong Biennale for New Digital Art. They currently teach at the University of Utah as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Division of Multi-Disciplinary Design (MDD). Wulfman is a recipient of the 2024 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers\, and the 2025 United States Artists (USA) Fellowship.
