Title: Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew's early housing and neighbourhood planning in Sector-22, Chandigarh
Abstract:
The city of Chandigarh, India, has received considerable
interest since its design and construction in the early 1950s, mainly due
to Le Corbusier's involvement in the scheme. More recent work has begun to
critically examine the planning of the city and its components and to
challenge the misconception of Le Corbusier as the sole author. This paper
is concerned with the first portion of the city to be constructed,
Sector-22, designed by the British architect Jane Drew, along with housing
designs by her husband-collaborator Maxwell Fry (Pierre Jeanneret's
equally important work is beyond the scope of this paper). It considers
the influences behind their planning and the housing-type design, with
particular focus on the notions of 'neighbourhood planning'. The paper
argues that Fry's work with Thomas Adams from the 1920s is of particular
importance to the Sector-22 layout, which was further informed by Drew's
studies published immediately after the Second World War. Finally, their
housing plans are considered, along with the contributions of their Indian
colleagues - an important group who have largely been ignored in previous
academic studies of the city.

Title: Planning through conflict: competing approaches in the preparation of Sheffield's post-war reconstruction plan
Abstract:
This article describes the breakdown in relations between
local-authority Technical Officers working on Sheffield's reconstruction
scheme in 1943. As a consequence of the dispute, an approach that
prioritized spatial experience was dropped in favour of an
engineering-based approach, in which spatial qualities were disregarded.
Factors that led to this outcome include Government sanctioned design
guidance on traffic engineering and zoning, and the type of education
planners received. The dispute is indicative of wider trends in urban
planning in Britain during this period.

Title: Zuazo in Caracas: The urbanism of exile in Venezuela, 1937
Abstract:
The urbanism of the 1920s and 1930s was marked by the debate
over the avant-garde and in Spain during this time there were two points
of reference: those who (based in Barcelona, with Sert at the helm) follow
the directions of Le Corbusier and those who, from Madrid, opted for
German architectural influences. But there was even a third option: that
of Secundino Zuazo (arguably Madrid's principal architect before 1936) who
in 1926 - backed by a French initiative - organized a study to define the
urban problems of the principal Spanish cities, find solutions and present
them to the municipal governments along with the necessary financial
backing. In 1929 Zuazo obtained - together with Herman Jansen of Berlin -
first place in the Competition held for the extension of Madrid,
supporting the Project at the same time with its own financing. From that
experience, during the Spanish Civil War Zuazo was invited by the
Venezuelan government to go to Caracas to put together a study of that
city.

Title: Monopolizing the metropolis: gilded age growth machines and power in American urbanization
Abstract:
Scholars have largely recounted the modern history of urban
planning and development in the USA as a fragmented story in which power
and agency have rarely been centralized. Yet the power to plan and develop
cities and regions has been highly concentrated in certain periods.
Between the 1870s and 1910s, a group of capitalists led by Peter Widener
in Philadelphia, William Whitney in New York, and Charles Yerkes in
Chicago consolidated the transit systems of these metropolises and the gas
and electric utilities of some 100 American cities. Holding key positions
in certain regions' public institutions and private corporations, they
coordinated development of real estate, parks, and neighbourhoods in
tandem with this infrastructure. This article surveys how Widener and his
colleagues restructured the Philadelphia region in the Gilded Age. Through
fire insurance atlases, deeds, biographical and company sources, it
explores the ways they concentrated power and coordinated urbanization.

Title: Urban planners in Portugal in the middle of the twentieth century: Étienne de Groër and Antão Almeida Garrett
Abstract:
This article describes the planning activity in Portugal in
the middle of the twentieth century, notably the work of two exceptional
planners, Etienne de Groër and Antão Almeida Garrett. The
article moves from a first overview on the national context, to a focus on
the two largest cities of Portugal, Lisbon, and Oporto. It was there that
these two planners developed their most successful planning proposals. The
planning activity of de Groër and Garrett is presented, first taken
in isolation and then on a comparative basis. Issues addressed include the
urban structure and the organization of the city, the street layout, and
the system of zoning. It is argued that de Groër municipal plan for
Lisbon and Garrett municipal plan for Oporto were able to leave a profound
and lasting impact on these cities, being the most influential planning
documents of the twentieth century in Lisbon and in Oporto.

Title: Planning, the information order, and the Bombay census of 1901
Abstract:
In the last decade of the nineteenth century, Bombay City was
rocked by a series of events that undermined the systems of rule patched
together over the course of the preceding century and triggered a crisis
of the colonial 'information order' on which these were based. Saliently,
these developments led to significant changes in the modes of colonial
urban governance, in which a new planning agency played a key role.
Integral to this shift was a reappraisal, on the part of the colonial
state, of its mechanisms of information gathering and the growing
recognition of the need for more knowledge about the swiftly expanding
city and its rapidly diversifying population. The census of 1901
reflected, to a large extent, these new imperatives of colonial
governance.

Title: A happy confluence of planning and statistics: Bombay and Calcutta in the 1901 census
Abstract:
In India in 1901, a rare statistical event occurred. A
confluence of interests gave a group of nascent planners new influence
over the conduct of a census, with the result being a rich body of
published information for Bombay and Calcutta. Useful in its day, this
material now offers exceptional insights into social conditions, and the
concerns of planners, in two great colonial cities. Having sketched the
confluence of interests, this research note outlines the nature of the
evidence that it produced and illustrates how it may be used by historical
scholars, with particular reference to Bombay. The 1901 census can provide
documentation of land use, living conditions, and the social geography of
the city at a geographical scale that is finer than that of any other
published census of the period.

Title: How modern planning came to Calcutta
Abstract:
The Calcutta Improvement Trust was set up in 1911 well after
the plague scare of 1896, which indicated that there were many overlapping
concerns that could not be immediately resolved. The autonomous nature of
the Trust indicated that the colonial government distrusted Indians in the
elected municipality. But state intervention also brought into focus the
question of funding improvements pitching imperial and local governments
against each other. The theme of the unhygienic Indian body was prominent
among the non-official Europeans in the city and built a consensus for
authoritarian reform linking the regulation of spaces to the regulation of
bodies in the discourse about Calcutta's planning.

Title: On garden-city lines: looking into social housing estates of interwar Europe
Abstract:
After the Great War, numerous housing estates on garden-city
lines were created in Continental Europe under the command of state or
local authorities, who took over from enlightened entrepreneurial
initiatives or co-operative movements of the previous years. Admittedly,
the cases of Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt and Berlin express in the most
complete form the synthesis of garden-city ideas and techniques into
foreign planning practices. Based on published sources, this article
places the schemes in their national context, and explores the planning
tools for their realization, as they were formed by state traditions.
Parisian garden cities were accomplished in a centralist mode by
first-rate officials and professionals, as befits a country with the
administrative eminence of France. In Belgium, under a similar framework,
the quality of the outcome came out of direct contact between local
people's cooperatives and their architects, who were engaged in social and
environmental reform. The German approach was marked by the pioneering
initiatives of municipalities, historically empowered for more independent
decision-making. In diverse national and local backgrounds, the
garden-city thought showed remarkable tenacity: variations of the
Howardian ideas about land ownership persisted, ingenious financial
mechanisms were efficiently set up, and community spirit was often able to
survive the official mode of home allocation. Finally, commitment to
social, economic, and technical advancement brought many of the estates in
discussion to the leading edge of the architectural production in Europe.

Title: Beyond Le Corbusier and the modernist city: reframing Chandigarh's 'World Heritage' legacy
Abstract:
The heritage of Chandigarh, India is a complex subject. While
widely acknowledged by academic and professional communities worldwide as
a significant work of modernist architecture and urban design,
Chandigarh's specific temporal, geographical and cultural contexts
complicate efforts to get the city inscribed on United Nations
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization's World Heritage List.
This article outlines the persistent attempts by both local and
international organizations to achieve this inscription, efforts that have
not yet been successful. Relying on historical scholarship and fieldwork,
the authors reassess the value of Chandigarh's heritage both in terms of
historical significance and contemporary planning. By addressing the
complexity and scope of the design and planning process, embracing the
inhabitation and appropriation of the city, and fostering an appreciation
of modern architecture, Chandigarh can develop a more localized
understanding of heritage - yet one that can be appreciated worldwide.

Title: Social engineering and participation in Anglo-Swedish housing 1945-1976: Ralph Erskine's vernacular plan
Abstract:
This article appraises the career of architect Ralph Erskine
focusing on the context for his contribution to Swedish and British social
housing and planning. Erskine's formative experience during the 1930s and
his subsequent transnational career are utilized to explore the mutual
influences of planning ideals across national boundaries. The Garden City
ideal, Functionalism and the urban village concept are considered for
their long-term contribution to his work. In addition, vernacular
architecture and participatory planning are explored as influences on the
evolution of his community architecture vision by the 1970s. Drawing on
evidence from urban developments in Britain and Sweden, the discussion
demonstrates that Erskine's cultural transfer of international planning
ideals essentialized aspects of British and Swedish historical culture.
The article concludes with a discussion of the 1970s and Erskine's role in
the redevelopment of Byker in Newcastle upon Tyne. This process was hailed
as a pioneer moment in the English community architecture movement.
However, this study demonstrates that Erskine should be distinguished from
the grassroots activism of the community architecture movement. Rather the
discussion emphasizes that his participatory planning was underpinned by a
structural tension between social engineering and democratic participation
that was generated and reinforced by his transnational career.

Title: Reforma Interior in Málaga: modernization and morphological change in the nineteenth century
Abstract:
In the latter part of the nineteenth century and the early
part of the twentieth, various attempts were made to 'modernize' the city
of Málaga (southern Spain) in terms of structural and built environment.
These efforts originated from different groups at different times and with
varying degrees of success but they had, as their principal motive, a
shared desire to advance the image of the city against a background of
political unrest and significant economic decline from mid-nineteenth
century prosperity. With this objective in mind, there was a shared
perspective that the visual appearance of the city and its morphological
structure had to be modernized. However, in detail, the specific schemes
proposed reflected the diverse ideologies and objectives of their chief
protagonists although the generic term Málaga Moderna
came to be applied to a wide range of different proposals. This article
will examine the development of these key actor groups and their varying
impact on the city's urban form.

Title: The attitudes of the Ministry of Town and Country Planning towards blitzed cities in 1940s Britain
Abstract:
German air raids during the Second World War damaged many
British cities. Plymouth is one of the few cities in Britain that has
persisted in its aim of comprehensively rebuilding the gutted city centre.
It is also one of the few cities whose city centre plans gained approval
during the 1940s from the Ministry responsible for town planning.
Plymouth's plan was elaborated by Patrick Abercrombie, an eminent planner
of the day, and Paton Watson, the city's engineer. Most other blitzed
cities were not able to obtain a ministerial approval, and some ultimately
abandoned their initial plans. This article considers the relationship
between the government and Plymouth, especially from the viewpoint of the
Ministry of Town and Country Planning, established during the war. In
examining the Plymouth case through the prism of the new Ministry and
comparing it with the circumstances of other blitzed cities, this article
shows that the attitudes of the Ministry officials in their relationships
with blitzed cities were at fault, and that they were consequently unable
to intervene in a sufficiently effective and timely way.

Title: Cities as planning models
Abstract:
A key feature of modern planning history has been the
identification of cities admired for their 'good planning'. In varying
degrees, they have stimulated emulation, selective or partial borrowing,
or even direct copying of their admired planning features. Model cities at
different phases of planning history include Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna,
Moscow, London, Stockholm, Barcelona, Chicago, New York, Portland and
Vancouver. In recent years, new models have emerged, such as Singapore or
Curitiba. The article considers how such cities became or
are becoming models. It examines the methods by which the knowledge and
reputation of the 'model' are promoted and disseminated. The importance of
key actors, and visits, conferences and exhibitions focused on planning
issues are considered. So too are less specific factors which help draw
the gaze of a wider world. The article also considers whether such cities
were/are places where new planning approaches have been invented or where
they were implemented on a larger scale. Overall the paper discusses a key
and strengthening feature in the circulation of contemporary planning
knowledge. It does not answer all the surrounding questions in any
definitive sense but opens up new debates about planning and the processes
behind its historical evolution.

Title: City interrupted: modernity and architecture in Nasser's post-1952 Cairo
Abstract:
Following the 1952 military takeover, Egypt's former
president Nasser initiated a pan-Arab movement that sought to distance
Egypt from its Islamic past. Architecture and urban space were tools
through which this vision was spatialized. Among the buildings constructed
at the time, the Nile Hilton Hotel in particular became a symbol for the
kind of Egypt that was envisioned by the new regime. Adopting the
international style of architecture, it was an ideal canvas onto which the
national aspirations of a new emerging nation could be placed. Through a
historical case-study approach and mining of historical archives, this
paper discusses these developments. Specifically, it looks at the
construction of modernist buildings in Nasserist Cairo and the definition
of a new kind of urban space, placing this within a larger socio-cultural
narrative. It will be argued that the regime engaged in a short-lived
modernist attempt in which Egypt as a nation sought to move beyond its
historical constraints and in turn become modern. This project of
modernity did not last and in the 1970s degenerated into a post-modern
pastiche adopting Arab-Islamic elements influenced by the rise of the Arab
Gulf. This paper concludes by linking this historical moment to current
events taking place in Cairo.

Title: Land, politics and high-rise planning: ongoing development practices in Tel Aviv-Yafo
Abstract:
This article discusses the nature of urban development
practices implemented over a considerable period of time in Tel Aviv,
Israel. Its empirical foundations rest on detailed research of high-rise
development projects completed in the city between the early 1950s and
2009. The research revealed that the skyline has changed dramatically in
the interim, with planning practices adapted to match post-Fordist
concepts and globalization. Yet, a persistent national hegemonic narrative
still underlies most projects and binds luxury high-rise building, land
privatization and erasure of the physical remains that bear witness to the
pre-state past. The article thus relates to urban development practice in
terms of continued path-dependent process and its necessary social
legitimation. The empirical section maps these concepts within the local
process while attempting to define the nature of continuing planning and
development practices.

Title: Historical heritage, landscape and modernity: aspects of the Italian contribution to the IFHTP congresses between the two wars
Abstract:
The International Federation for Housing and Town Planning
(IFHTP) congresses in the period between the two wars represented one of
the most relevant spheres of debate on the design and construction of the
modern city. In addition to drawing a general outline of Italy's
contributions to the IFHTP congresses between the early Twenties and late
Thirties, this article will reflect on some of the thematic issues that
clearly emerged, especially from the 1929 Rome congress. It concerns the
role of multi-storey apartment building in the construction of the modern
city, the adaptation of historic town centres to the needs of modernity,
the expansion of the historic city and the relationship with the
landscape. Themes on which certain Italian protagonists (Cesare Chiodi,
Gustavo Giovannoni and Luigi Piccinato to name but a few) have made
contributions to modern international town planning culture which,
albeit controversial for many reasons, seem significant
and not devoid of original content.

Title: The planning connection between Clarence Stein and Liang Sicheng in Republican China
Abstract:
If Liang Sicheng's meeting with the eminent American planner
Clarence Stein in 1936 started Liang's career in planning, it would be a
significant event in Chinese planning history. No research has yet
explored this claim on Stein's influence on Liang or Stein role in
introducing American planning ideas and practices to China. To explore
this cultural exchange, the author provides a more holistic understanding
of their earnest friendship based on the study of archival materials
including the Stein Papers at Cornell University and Liang's working diary
at Tsinghua University, their own published writings, and the scholarly
work on their contributions. This article reports a more complex picture
of this exchange and shows that their friendship deepened while Liang was
in America during 1946-1947 as Stein inspired Liang and exposed him to
various American planning projects. However, in pursuing of a Chinese
planning theory, Liang inherited of diverse traditions and did not rely on
Stein alone.

Title: Sustainable planning for a quasi-urban region, necessities and challenges: the case of Tehran-Karaj
Abstract:
A number of studies explore the urban structure of the city
of Tehran; however, little has been done in regard to its
interconnectivity with the surrounding settlements and current challenges
at the regional scale. This article investigates the making and current
unsustainable condition of the Tehran-Karaj Urban Region arguing that it
took shape passively in the absence of any structural framework. To tackle
these problems, it is essential to formulate a regional sustainable
comprehensive plan, one in which the interrelatedness across the entire
region is observed, and which takes appropriate account of current
international understandings regarding sustainable urban development.

Title: Stages of a state: from São Paulo's Teatro São José to the Teatro Municipal, 1854-1911
Abstract:
This article uses the cases of the Teatro São José and
the Teatro Municipal to explain how and why performance space in the city
of São Paulo, Brazil, became an increasingly public issue between
1854 and 1911. Specifically, I analyse the ways in which the notion of the
theatre as a public good evolved both in the discourse of
paulistas and in the practice of legislation and contract
negotiation. This article thus interprets planning history as a history of
ideas and assumes cultural policy-making to encompass both government and
non-government actors. To that end, utilizing legislation, government
records, architectural plans, and the press as sources, I argue that
theatres' 'publicness' in São Paulo was rationalized along three
lines: their potential accessibility to a broad audience, their
visibility, and their high cost. While public spending on the Teatro
São José was justified on the grounds of economic development and
moral and civic education, the Teatro Municipal garnered support as a
project of Progressive Era urban reform that sought to affirm São
Paulo's place in the civilized world.

Title: Garden cities in colonial Africa: a note on historiography
Abstract:
While there is an abundance of published literature on the
diffusion of planning modes and garden city notions in the western world,
the corresponding literature on colonial (sub-Saharan) Africa is rather
sparse. This brief paper, dealing with major historiographic trends in
urban space and segregation in light of garden city literature proposes
new directions for critical research on garden cities in colonial Africa.
Both thematically and methodologically, the paper will highlight the
importance of studying the influences of garden city ideas beyond the
global North-West, and understanding the channels through which they were
passed on to various colonial contexts in Africa, the circumstances of
their application and the political interests they were meant to serve.

Title: Planning and urban citizenship: suggestions from the thoughts of Henri Lefebvre
Abstract:
The paper focuses on Henri Lefebvre's reflections on the
city; it is argued that from these reflections it is possible to derive a
particular notion of citizenship that is relevant for urban planning and
design (theory and practice). In the first part of the paper, several of
Lefebvre's key topics are analysed (in particular the concept of
city-oeuvre). In the second part of the paper, the
characteristics of Lefebvre's notion of citizenship are clarified and
their implications for urban planning and design are discussed.

Title: Town planning as a socio-religious issue. The 'big city' advisory committee and the urban redevelopment of Eindhoven and its environs, 1945-1960
Abstract:
The post-war reconstruction years of the 1940s and 1950s are generally
referred to as the breakthrough of modernism in urban planning. The
Netherlands in particular stands out internationally as a country, which
transformed itself with plans and buildings conceived within the vanguard
of a modernist vision. Examining the redevelopment of the Dutch city of
Eindhoven, this paper suggests, however, that an alternative development
of reconstruction planning emerged that ran parallel to the modernist
planning project; one that displaced the authority and austerity measures
of planned modernism. This development was very much influenced by the
'pillarization' of Dutch society, and the resulting tension between
Catholic and Socialist parties, which had different ideas on town
planning. By analysing the discourse of the 'big city' advisory committee,
set up in the early 1950s by the North-Brabant regional authority to
advise on the urban development of Eindhoven, this paper exposes the
contested appropriation and use of modernist planning ideals and
principles. Although the historiography on Dutch urban planning has
minimized religion's role and presence in post-war reconstruction
planning, it is being argued in this paper that it was an important theme,
especially in areas like the predominantly Catholic province of Brabant.

Title: Displacements in the name of (re)development: the contested rise and contested demise of colonial 'African' housing estates in Kampala and Jinja
Abstract:
This paper examines historical and contemporary processes of urban
(re-)development and displacement in Uganda. Particular focus concerns the
often conflicting strategies employed by urban managers and residents to
plan, govern and live in both the late-colonial and early twenty-first
century city. Both eras can be considered significant, even momentous, for
the prominence of strategic projects of socio-spatial urban
reconfiguration that incorporate(d) powerful discourses fusing land and
housing development with societal progress and national development. The
former project putatively centred on orchestrating African development and
welfare, the latter on the more ambiguous project of re-development. The
'Good City' and the 'Good Citizen' are used as heuristic devices to
examine the planning ideals and rationalities that inform(ed) these
projects and the conflict of rationalities they provoke(d), particularly
in terms of competing visions of the good city and good citizen. The paper
emphasizes that current projects of redevelopmentalism do not take place
in politically inert or historically benign space. Rather, it is shown how
historical and place-based specificities articulate with and mediate the
process of redevelopmentalism in Kampala and Jinja.

Title: The city-territory: large-scale planning and development policies in the aftermath of the Belice valley earthquake (Sicily, 1968)
Abstract:
This article examines a particular case of post-disaster planning: the
'city-territory' of the Belice Valley. As a consequence of an earthquake
which devastated a depressed rural area of western Sicily in 1968, town
planners, supported by special post-disaster legislation, undertook a
planning experiment aimed at redeveloping the disaster area and promoting
its social and economic transformation. The Belice Valley plan became an
experiment in socio-economic engineering, and the idea of combining
reconstruction and development was associated with a particular spatial
layout: the 'city-territory'. Based on archival research, this work
examines this planning idea, its roots and its outcome. I will argue that,
despite its peculiarities, the 'city-territory' idea was deeply rooted in
the Italian and international culture and practices of the day, which were
particularly favourable for large-scale planning and development policies.
I will also demonstrate that the attempt to realize this plan for a
'city-territory' was hindered by a radically transformed context and by a
general crisis of industrial development policies. This case study,
therefore, attempts to shed light on a key issue of 1960s and 1970s
international planning culture and practice, and illustrates some of the
reasons for its partial failure.

Title: Urban history and cultural resources in urban regeneration: a case of creative waterfront renewal
Abstract:
In recent decades, the role of culture and history has often become a
driving factor in the process of urban regeneration. The focus on culture
and history as factors in regional transformation has been particularly
extensive in response not only to competitiveness among cities but also to
sustainability requirements in the cultural sector. In the same
perspective of this approach, culture in its broadest sense assumes a
decisive role in constructing a system of interventions where employment
and social and sustainable development become the product of the
integration of places, people, economies and traditions. Creative cities
are currently working on how to improve the interaction between
regeneration building, economic development and social renewal in order to
achieve more comprehensive development of the city. Existing creative
cities may be seen to revolve around the design, promotion and activation
of urban areas established due to their particular local characteristics.
Such areas become creative clusters as a result of economic and structural
innovations, related to the realization of innovator projects achieved
with the help of local development strategies based on the economies of
excellence, culture and territorial quality. Starting from such premises,
this article aims to show the main factors which condition creativity in
cities - such as new policies, participation, history, place identity,
cultural resources and sustainability - and an emblematic case study of
creative regeneration. This concerns the HafenCity district in Hamburg,
where the history has assumed an important role in re-constructing the
maritime identity and for many choices of urban nature.

Title: Editing the African city: reading colonial planning in Africa from a comparative perspective
Abstract:
In order to understand the complexity of the colonial city in Africa, this
article suggests a comparative study on two levels, corresponding with two
important phenomena in the planning process of African cities. The first
level can be described as the diffusion of planning models to the
colonies, and the second as the actual implementation of these planning
models on the colonial terrain. Each level requires different scales of
research and frames of analysis. They are particularly valuable when
examined together.

Title: Axes of urban growth: urbanization and railway stations in Seoul, 1900-1945
Abstract:
The urban space of Seoul that had kept the structure of the Fortress and
the Seongjeo Shibri for more than 500 years began to be transformed with
the introduction of modern transport facilities, the railway and tram, in
the early twentieth century when Seoul became the colonial capital of
Gyeongsung-bu. The railway station buildings that were constructed in the
main areas of Gyeongsung-bu mirrored international developments through
taking charge of the city's passenger traffic and cargo distribution. They
also influenced greatly the course of the city's urban growth. This
article investigates the features of the urban growth of Gyeongsung-bu
through looking into changes in the station buildings' role and into the
construction of railways, which became the public transportation system
throughout the whole Korean Peninsula.

Title: Absolute monarchy and the development of Bangkok's urban spaces
Abstract:
This paper examines the development of Bangkok's urban spaces in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It aims to understand the ways
Western culture influenced the development and use of urban spaces in this
non-Western and non-colonized city. Thailand, then known as Siam, is
unique as it was the only country in Southeast Asia that was not colonized
by Western powers. Accordingly, the domestic political circumstances in
Thailand played a critical role in the country's path to modernization.
The primary shifts in accordance with the country's modernization were
concentrated on the capital city and its society. Amongst the shifts of
urban environment, the urban spaces in Bangkok were transformed and
developed. The paper argues that the Siamese absolute monarch was a
critical agent in the development process and that the modern spaces were
developed in Bangkok as part of the king's wider political strategy.

Title: Local associations and participation in place: change and continuity in the relationship between state and civil society in twentieth-century Britain
Abstract:
This paper uses a review of evidence relating to the history of local
civic associations to address the temporally and geographically variable
relationship between state and civil society. We focus particularly on the
historical development of participative practices, thus also contributing
to contemporary debate about the potentials of increased community
involvement in place-making. The paper has three primary purposes. First,
we assess the role that local associations have played in advancing
planning and conservation agendas. Second, we discuss the differing modes
of participation that are most visible in the work of local groups. Third,
we use a focus on the discussions of participation that took place in the
late 1960s, which raised explicit questions about the relations between
local state and civil society, to explore a series of problematics
relating to the promise and the practice of participation. We argue that
in seeking to understand both the past and the present of local
associational involvement in place-making and management it is important
to recognize that local groups have variable professional and social
resources that lead to differences in their ability to engage in local
governance. We also argue that this sphere of voluntary activity exhibits
continuities with longer term practice, rather than the paradigm shift
that is sometimes described in accounts of the development of
participation.

Title: Ernest Oberholtzer and the art of boundary crossing: writing, life and the narratives of conservation and planning
Abstract:
Through an analysis of the various roles of narrative in the life and work
of famed conservationist Ernest C. Oberholtzer (1884-1977), we explore the
relations between life (as evolving autobiographical narrative), place
identity, and environmental planning, and the place of literary and
artistic discourses in the processes of mutual articulation one can
observe there. We investigate the role of writing in his work and life,
and the functions of narratives in a broader sense, and argue that
Oberholtzer's remarkable identification with a self-created place
narrative, and his exceptional narrative fluidity, both in
autobiographical sense and in other communicative situations, made him not
only an exquisite wilderness advocate but also a rich source of insights
into the narrative nature of environmental planning.

Title: Instituting order: the limitations of Nasser's post-colonial planning visions for Cairo in the case of the indigenous quarter of Bulaq (1952-1970)
Abstract:
This paper investigates the limitations of post-colonial planning
practices that aimed to modernize Cairo's urban spaces during Gamal Abdel
Nasser's rule (1952-1970). Following the Free Officers revolution of 1952,
ambition to display urban order through forceful change in the city's
built environment was in action. Nasser's visions of modernity were
explicit in a series of attempts to reshape several prime locations in
central Cairo, which included the old traditional waterfront quarter, in
Bulaq Abul Ela. An analysis of the Bulaq planning scheme drafted in 1966
reveals insights into how notions of order were spatialized to integrate
with Cairo's complex urban fabric. The official plans to regularize Bulaq
also strongly demonstrate how this was a top-down, centralized process in
terms of governance, with full utilization of state resources, namely the
military and the media. From a wider perspective, planning practices under
Nasser demonstrated an evident break with the past to eliminate memories
of colonization and disorder. Drawing on original resources, archival
material, meeting minutes and maps of this historical but dilapidated
quarter of Cairo, this paper gives an insight into how Nasser's government
attempted to convey a sense of order in a revolutionary country without,
however, having an understanding of order as a coherent, multi-layered and
sequential process of change.

Title: Patrick Geddes's (e)utopian Belvedere in Southern France
Abstract:
The Collège des Ecossais in Montpellier, France, Patrick
Geddes' last major project and place of death in 1932, may have been a
mere reproduction of his Edinburgh Outlook Tower under fairer skies. The
site Geddes fell in love with in the South was, characteristically of his
ideals, mostly a place with a view, in fact over much of Languedoc. As we
shall show, this view was one of a whole region made 'legible' at a
glance, with city, mountains and sea, a prospect at the same time wide and
limited, an area with ready access to the rest of the world yet
self-contained. Besides, what the ageing Geddes wanted to achieve near
Montpellier was no less than to gather a representative assemblage of
up-and-coming scholars from three continents. Yet again, the Collège may
have been an excuse for Geddes to postpone the writing of long-awaited
books. However, we will see that it also served as a stone-and-mortar
receptacle for his ideas and systems, which would hardly be surprising
from a thinker who was ever looking for ways of escaping traditional
teaching methods.

Title: One city's 'urban cosmography'
Abstract:
Illustrations of urban scenes naturally describe the physical
characteristics of the places depicted. These representations also express
implicitly broader beliefs which tie the spatial order of the surrounding
world to local systems, institutions, and human actions. Images of a city
embody, therefore, an 'urban cosmography', a concept inspired by early
modern artisans' attempts to chart the contours of the world, both known
and unknown. Seen from this perspective, historical graphics such as maps,
posters, and birds-eye views document a city's position within a
continually evolving universal order. This paper will review graphics
drawn from the history of one city in particular: Baltimore, Maryland.
Like other cities on the eastern seaboard of the US, Baltimore has been
represented by diverse visual arts for more than two centuries. With the
advent of digital and social media, Baltimore's development will depend
even more upon the city's local and global interrelationships. 'Urban
cosmography' is, therefore, a useful conceptual prism through which one
may perceive the link between the city's historical legacy and
contemporary urban challenges. One consequence is that visual tropes for
traditional urban polarities - 'growth' versus 'decay', for instance - may
be superseded by new symbols that incorporate both.

Title: The exchange of planning ideas from Europe to the USA after the Second World War: introductory thoughts and a call for further research
Abstract:
The transnational exchange of planning ideas after the Second World War
was multi-directional. As this special issue demonstrates, while American
concepts spread globally there was also a steady transfer of European
ideas to the USA. European émigrés in the USA and
American professionals explored the reconstruction of European downtowns,
particularly in Northern Europe. This special issue builds on a growing
interest in transnational planning history, including a desire to develop
research and writing methods. The current issue contains an overview of
secondary literature (Wakeman), a careful investigation of post-war
professional transatlantic dialogue (Joch), research on the International
Federation for Housing and Planning conference held in The Hague in 1958
(Wagner), and an examination of the term and concept of urban design
throughout the Anglophone world (Orillard). The introduction also proposes
further directions for research that consciously engages with changing
global contexts, and studies their impact on planning beyond physical,
theoretical, temporal or other boundaries, for example, discussing
planners and plans that crossed the schism of the Cold War. It also calls
for global integration of research tools and collaboration among
researchers in the field.

Title: Rethinking postwar planning history
Abstract:
This article discusses the impact of global transnationalism on postwar
planning and considers the questions planning historians should address in
future research. The topics assessed are planning and cosmopolitanism, the
plurality of local planning practices, the stream of transnational
influences on planning, and the modalities of power. The article considers
comparative and transnational methodologies, and how they can best be
applied to the postwar era.

Title: 'Must our cities remain ugly?' - America's urban crisis and the European city: transatlantic perspectives on urban development, 1945-1970
Abstract:
This article explores the changing modes and mechanisms of the
transatlantic dialogue between urban planners from the perspective of US
urbanists. During the early post-war period, this dialogue intensified
quickly. US planners were involved in their country's broad efforts to
provide assistance to and build strong political ties with Western
European nations. Accordingly, they assumed the role of tutors
vis-à-vis their European peers. Due to urban America's
apparent flaws and the success of European planning projects, however,
their interest in Europe broadened considerably during the 1950s.
Initially, the initiative of individuals remained crucial for the flow of
planning information from Europe to the USA, and European immigrants and
émigrés helped facilitate transatlantic transfers.
Looking at Europe, American planners sought to address the shortcomings of
the domestic practice of planning as they perceived them. Europe served as
an argumentative tool for US experts who were eager to change the
socio-political framework that limited their impact on urban development
in their home country. Information about European planning was transmitted
through a diverse set of channels and the biographies of many of the
experts involved with transatlantic exchange remind us of the complex
international planning networks that existed throughout the twentieth
century. American planners' interest in Europe remained biased towards
specific regions and topics. Nevertheless, US planners negotiated the way
in which they brought their limited influence to bear on American urban
environments in a transnational context. The framework that supported
their integration into international planning discussions became
increasingly institutionalized towards the end of the research period.

Title: New life for American Downtowns? The 1958 international seminar on urban renewal and the travel of planning ideas in the North Atlantic World
Abstract:
This article scrutinizes the travel of planning ideas between Western
Europe and America in the post-war decades by employing the 1958
International Seminar on Urban Renewal as a case study. As a joint venture
between the International Federation for Housing and Planning and James M.
Miller, a planning professor from Columbia University, this meeting was
the first transatlantic conference after 1945 principally intended to
(re-)introduce American planners to European reconstruction efforts.
Therefore, the seminar testifies to an emerging interest of the wider US
professional public in West European planning during the 1950s. When
American planners struggled with deteriorating downtowns and
suburbanization, they turned to Europe, where cities experimented with
pedestrianization, mixed-use zoning and comprehensive planning in order to
build their razed city centres anew. Although Americans were relatively
unsuccessful in implementing these ideas in their cities, the events
surrounding the 1958 seminar show that, even during a period of US
hegemony, transatlantic connections were more than a mere
'Americanization' of European practice. Thus, this article argues for
viewing transnational connections in the post-war North Atlantic World as
a circular flow of ideas, in which Europeans and Americans alternately
acted as borrowers and lenders, according to their variable perceptions of
each other.

Title: The transnational building of urban design: interplay between genres of discourse in the Anglophone world
Abstract:
In the first half of the twentieth century, the field of urbanism was
mainly structured around the constitution of the professional and academic
discipline of planning. But in the second half of the twentieth century,
it became organized in the English-speaking world around several
complementary and competing poles as the emerging field of urban design.
This field was a part of a profound renewal of architectural discourses
and practices concerning the city that appeared around the world as a
reaction to the growing autonomy of the planning sphere. However, it took
a particular turn in the English-speaking world. Recently, readers
establishing a common literature in the field have been published in three
countries: USA, UK and Australia. A fragmented historiography of urban
design has also emerged showing a field combining three different
registers of discourse: the development of a criticism in the professional
press, the building of a specific academic field, and the establishment of
public policies. This article will attempt to analyse the birth and
development of urban design as a network by crossing the three registers
of discourse from three different countries.

Title: Drafting of the 1968 Japanese City Planning Law
Abstract:
The Japanese City Planning Law, enacted in 1968, revised the 1919 City
Planning Law. It has been described as comprehensive but containing
defects, such as imperfect delegation of planning powers to the
municipalities. Authoritative works on the history of modern Japanese
urban planning by Ishida and Sorensen also emphasize the historical
background of the 1968 Law, namely, a general agreement on the need to
control urban development based on land-use planning and the progressive
historical context. The relationship between this background and the
formulation of the 1968 Law is yet to be examined. Analyses of public
records, the Diet debates and newspapers demonstrate the following: first,
delegation of planning powers to the municipalities, although imperfect,
could have been further limited; and second, the ruling party's fear of
losing the electorate's support in urban areas and the media pressure on
the government made a perfunctory bill inevitable.

Title: Property rights and coastal protection: the case of Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council
Abstract:
In 1986, David Lucas purchased two oceanfront lots on the Isle of Palms,
South Carolina. Before he built on the lots, the South Carolina
Legislature passed the Beachfront Management Act, restricting development
along the coast. Unable to build a permanent structure on his property,
Lucas sued the South Carolina Coastal Council. The case made its way to
the US Supreme Court, and became one of the most significant cases in US
planning history. This article situates the case in the context of the
history of real property rights, chronicles the events leading up to the
case, follows the case through the court system, and analyses its impact
on planning practice. Although the case had less significant implications
for planning than originally anticipated, it does carry important lessons
for land-use planning, subdivision regulation, and planning in sensitive
environmental areas. It was a defining moment for coastal conservation in
the USA, and had a significant impact on implementation of the US Coastal
Zone Management Act, which has been used as a model internationally.

Title: New socialist cities: foreign architects in the USSR 1920-1940
Abstract:
The creation of a Communist society between 1917 and 1939 implied the
concomitant establishment of a non-capitalist economy and a non-bourgeois
culture and lifestyle. In terms of the rhetoric used at the time, the
Communist utopia was based on confidence in the beneficial impact of
science, technology, planning and management. This necessarily presupposed
alternative (new) town planning concepts, a reformed building industry, a
new housing typology, and new management styles. Solutions for this
mission were expected to come from foreign (mostly German) engineers,
architects, and town planners who were invited to the USSR to realize the
Communist utopia during the first Five-Year Plan (1928-1933).

Title: Making cities global: the new city development of Songdo, Yujiapu and Lingang
Abstract:
Looking at the South Korean case of New Songdo City and comparing it with
two Chinese cities, the Yujiapu Financial District and Lingang New City,
this study examines practices of city building in Northeast Asia not
simply from an ambitious urban design aspect, but more critically from the
planning patterns and emphatic discourses employed in these developments.
Designed by top-down decisions to reach the ocean coast from the centres
of the metropolitan region, New Songdo City drew upon the Global City
paradigm that employs comprehensive modernist urban plans, while city
developers aspired it to be a strategically positioned, new urban gate to
its metropolitan region. Similar ambitions feed the creation of Yujiapu
and Lingang and are coloured by a competitive developmental agenda of
catching up the West on the one hand and surpassing regional rival cities
on the other hand. These South Korean and Chinese examples stand as
emblematic instances of how the currency of global city development is now
articulated through popular planning discourses like ecologically
conscious and technologically advanced urbanism. Framed as Green City
Development, the three new cities reveal narrowly tailored global themes
of sustainability and intelligence that address the current modes of
imagining urban space in Northeast Asia.

Title: Green wedges: origins and development in Britain
Abstract:
The paper analyzes the history of green wedges in Britain from their
origins in the first decade of the twentieth century up until the outbreak
of the Second World War. Often neglected by the literature in favour of
the 'greenbelt', the 'green wedge' was equally at the forefront of the
minds of planners debating urban growth and the provision of open spaces
for modern cities. Firstly, the paper looks into the origins of the idea,
with particular focus on discussions about the integration of park and
traffic systems in the period. Secondly, it focuses on the fundamental
role that the 1910 RIBA Town Planning Conference played in the emergence
of the green wedges idea and in its immediate reception and diffusion.
Subsequently, the paper discusses the idea's development after the
Conference, predominantly in plans for Greater London and in texts by its
main supporters, which included H. V. Lanchester, G. L. Pepler, T. H.
Mawson, and P. Abercrombie.

Title: Urban design for Mussolini, Stalin, Salazar, Hitler and Franco (1922-1945)
Abstract:
The urban design practices of Europe's major dictatorships, from the end
of the First World War to the end of the Second World War, are not only
interesting from a historical perspective. They continue to have long-term
effects and to be the subject of a disputed culture of reception. My
hypothesis is that we must broaden our research concept in order to
develop a satisfactory approach to the field of 'dictatorships and urban
design'. We must overcome the singular national perspective: urban design
has always emerged within the context of an international exchange of
concepts and ideas, even in times of dictatorship. We must clear our
perception of urban design: it is more than just form. The 'dictatorial'
in urban design demonstrates itself less through products and more through
production conditions and processes, such as the establishment of special
agencies, provision and supply of special financial means, manner of
project implementation and the use of forced labour. For this reason, I
propose a distinction between the products and production conditions of
urban design under European dictatorships.

Title: Politics versus architecture: the Alexandra Road public enquiry of 1978-1981
Abstract:
Designed in 1968-1969 by Neave Brown, Camden's Alexandra Road scheme in
London is one of the most architecturally celebrated social housing
schemes in Britain. But the project overran on both time and budget and
before it was completed Camden's councillors launched a public enquiry
(1978-1981) to find out what had gone wrong. Behind this lay much broader
political changes, with radically different remedies to the economic
crisis of the 1970s proposed by hard left and new right. Drawing on the
unpublished papers of the enquiry and interviews with the key figures
involved, including Neave Brown, Ken Livingstone and John Mills, the paper
explores how this change of political alignments played out in the
Alexandra Road public enquiry. It shows how the councillors struggled, in
vain, to find evidence that the architect was to blame for the overruns;
how an outside body, the National Building Agency, was brought in to
pursue the investigation; and how successive attempts to identify a
scapegoat (including an actionable report which had to be destroyed)
proved unsuccessful. It shows how finally the enquiry was presented with
an unpalatable discovery - that primary responsibility for what had
happened lay not so much with the officers as with the councillors
themselves.

Title: Jimmy Carter and Joe Frank Harris: creating growth management planning in Georgia, 1971-1989
Abstract:
Planning scholars have cited state growth management programmes as a
critical outcome of the 'quiet revolution' in the regulation of land use
in the United States, a phenomenon that Fred Bosselman and David Callies
identified in 1971. Typically referring to a collection of state-level
laws that provide support for planning, mandate local land-use plans,
require coordination among adjacent jurisdictions, and enhance protections
for fragile natural resources, the academic understanding of growth
management has tended to be based on the experiences of a few
environmentally 'progressive' states. The US state of Georgia has rarely
been lauded for its efforts to regulate development. Yet in 1989, the
state enacted a law that instituted new tools to improve coordination
between local governments and the state, but stopped short of mandating
local land-use planning. Like policies in other states, Georgia's growth
management scheme was designed to strengthen state control over the local
planning process. Unlike other states, Georgia's system did little to
determine the location of that growth. This paper provides a detailed
account of the political process by which an idea for reigning in
'abusive' land development hatched by Governor Jimmy Carter in the course
of a government reform movement in the early 1970s was repurposed by
Governor Joe Frank Harris in the 1980s to support urban sprawl.

Title: The planning of late colonial village housing in the tropics: Tema Manhean, Ghana
Abstract:
This paper examines the planning, physical development, and housing in
Tema New Town, an appendix of the newly created Tema industrial and
harbour city, located on the northeastern part of Accra in the Greater
Accra Region in Ghana. The city and its appendage were designed and built
during the 1950s, as the country was rapidly approaching political
independence. Tema, originally an old Ga-fishing village,
became a significant part of a much larger and ambitious scheme, known as
the Volta River Project proposed as part of Kwame Nkrumah's domestic
policy, embracing multifaceted and multidimensional development projects.
These projects were to serve as a symbol of 'progress' and were part of
Ghana's desire for modernization as it emerged from a colonial past. The
related schemes were largely funded as a result of the British Colonial
Development and Welfare Acts, and this paper investigates the
implementation of this policy and the effect that it had on physical
planning and provision of architectural solutions in Ghana.

Title: Daniel Burnham and Australia's Federal Capital, 1893-1912
Abstract:
Celebrated architect and city planner Daniel Hudson Burnham enjoyed a rise
to fame in the aftermath of his widely acclaimed achievement as Director
of Works for the World's Columbian Exposition, held in his adopted Chicago
in 1893. Roughly in parallel with Burnham's rise, town planning movements
were coalescing in Australia, and it would not be long until the
Chicagoan's name was circulating in Australian professional circles. This
is a pilot study broadly aimed at chronicling and interpreting Australian
awareness of Daniel Burnham at the turn of the twentieth century. More
specifically, it is concerned with the reception of Burnham's civic design
ideals and why some believed them to be of antipodean relevance. Their
Australian impact, however, is beyond the present study's scope.
Reciprocally, this essay also surveys Burnham's knowledge of Australia.
Special emphasis is given to Burnham within the context of the Australia's
Federal Capital competition (1912), arguing that although the Chicagoan
did not compete, he profoundly, albeit vicariously, impacted the capital's
design.

Title: Education, practice and professionalism: a comparative history of the development of urban and regional planning in Italy and Australia
Abstract:
This paper outlines the historical relationship between planning
legislation, planning practice and planning education in Italy and
Australia by identifying the positive and negative roles of institutional
influences and the emergence of professional planning communities. The key
findings revolve around the gap between plan preparation and plan
implementation, and the role of institutions and professional communities
in resisting political interference and maintaining a technocratic
imperative within planning systems. While the exertion of professional
power can be seen to achieve positive planning and development outcomes,
it is often at the expense of the democratic traditions that have come to
characterize postmodern planning systems.

Title: Interpretation of Simon Stevin's ideas on the Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (United East Indies Company) settlement of Malacca
Abstract:
Simon Stevin's (1548-1620) treatises had an influence on the construction
of settlements in Southeast Asia as well as on the settlement of Malacca.
In the treatise 'Ideal Plan for a City', published in 1649, Stevin
developed a city design in which he was influenced by ideas of an ideal
town according to the principles of the Italian Renaissance (fourteenth
century until the sixteenth century). This treatise had an influence on
the development of settlements in Southeast Asia. The settlement of
Malacca was influenced, apart from the Dutch, by Portuguese design and
architecture. The influence of Simon Stevin's treatise was also noticable
on the Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (United East Indies Company - VOC)
settlement of Jayakarta (Batavia). VOC architecture and town planning in
general was influenced by the ideas of Simon Stevin. The findings are that
the three requirements, defence, agriculture and location, are met as
mentioned by Stevin in 'Ideal Plan for a City'. The other requirements of
design (as mentioned in his treatise Vande Oirdeningh der Steden of 1599)
- arithmetic, symmetry, placement of buildings and a system of streets -
are not met.

Title: Imagining the model, designing the city: Planning diffusion in twentieth-century Brazil
Abstract:
This paper examines planning diffusion by considering the role of a model
city upon the design of two Brazilian new-town layouts. Maringá, designed
along garden-city lines, informed the planning of Ivaiporã and
Sinop, but in spite of certain similarities with the common model, the two
new towns could not appear more diverse. This paper will thus show that a
model town can be perceived differently from person to person, from
situation to situation and from one period to another, which can result in
quite different outcomes. A set of borrowings, emulations, and adaptations
are illustrated, as planning history is understood as a narrative of the
dissemination and transformation of planning ideas.

Title: Peter Hall's planning history
Abstract:
Sir Peter Hall passed away at the age of 82 in July 2014. As a leading
figure in the fields of planning, geography, urban regeneration, regional
studies and transportation, numerous tributes and obituaries have already
been published. In this memoir, Associate Editor Rob Freestone draws from
his essay in the 2014 book which he co-edited with Mark Tewdwr-Jones and
Nicholas Phelps, entitled The Planning Imagination: Peter Hall and
the Study of Urban and Regional Planning (2014), to reflect on
Peter's approach and contributions to the study of planning history.

Title: Taking path dependence seriously: an historical institutionalist research agenda in planning history
Abstract:
This paper outlines an historical institutionalist (HI) research agenda
for planning history. HI approaches to the understanding of institutions,
path dependence, positive feedback effects in public policy, and patterned
processes of institutional change offer a robust theoretical framework and
a valuable set of conceptual and analytic tools for the analysis of
continuity and change in public policy. Yet, to date, there has been no
systematic effort to incorporate historical institutionalism into planning
history research. The body of the paper proposes planning history relevant
definitions of institutions, path dependence, critical junctures, and
incremental change processes, outlines recent HI literature applying and
extending these concepts, and frames a number of research questions for
planning history that these approaches suggest. A concluding section
explores the potential application and leverage of HI approaches to the
study of planning history and international comparative planning studies
and outlines a research agenda.

Title: Masterplanning public memorials: an historical comparison of Washington, Ottawa and Canberra
Abstract:
This article examines three New World democratic capital cities -
Washington, Ottawa and Canberra - where the growing number of public
memorials has spurred the development of official plans and policies to
regulate the siting and design of future memorial proposals. The
historical evolution of these strategies is examined in relation to the
designs of individual memorials. The analysis identifies a range of
planning strategies that significantly influence the design of individual
memorials, including large-scale memorial precinct plans, the social
meanings of surrounding sites and structures and existing memorials, and
the uses of memorial sites for activities other than grieving. The article
examines controversies surrounding the siting, design, meaning and public
use of a number of specific memorial examples. The research draws upon
existing planning and briefing documents, wider public and professional
discourse, and site analysis.

Title: Urban design, ideology, and power: use of the central square in Tirana during one century of political transformations
Abstract:
This article recounts the history of urban design in the centre of Tirana,
the capital of Albania, during five political periods (Ottoman Empire,
Italian domination, communist regime, post-communist anarchy, and
Western-style planning). Starting in the 1910s, successive governments
have imposed their urban design visions for a grand city centre and tried
to erase the built heritage of their predecessors, thus creating an
eclectic space. In the post-communist era, the city government has made
attempts to develop a new grand vision for its use but has met with
failure. The author argues that the reasons for this outcome lay in the
contemporary nature of the state, as well as the nature of development in
a market economy.

Title: Urban contrast and neo-Toryism: on the social and political symbolism of The Architectural Review's Townscape campaign
Abstract:
Using archival evidence from Hastings' unpublished writings, as well as
from representative Townscape publications, this essay chronologically
traces the genesis and development of Townscape as social and political
project within the history of British planning theory. Revising recent
scholarship on Townscape, the article posits that Townscape embraced a
conservative project, in many ways resistant to the emerging welfare state
and to the dominant government consensus for regionalist principles of
post-war reconstruction. It argues that Townscape posited an
anti-collectivist model of society, bound together, not through a
consensus of aims or viewpoints, but through a composite ecology of
individualizing difference, developed according to one's unique cultural
role or 'bias'. Paralleling conservative British political discourses of
the period, Townscape aestheticized and naturalized such differences
through a tri-partite model of social types and a metaphorical
construction of society as nature. Understanding the central significance
of this social and political symbolism allows for new understanding of
Townscape's construction of social complexity, as well as its use of
organic analogies to describe social difference.

Title: Commemorating and celebrating Raymond Unwin (1863-1940)
Abstract:
The 150th anniversary of Raymond Unwin's birth in 1863 provided an
opportunity for reviewing his contributions to town planning and housing
in their international context. His socialist values derived from John
Ruskin, William Morris and Edward Carpenter provided the basis for
democratizing design, aided by the visualization of his ideals provided
initially by Barry Parker, his partner in architectural practice from 1896
to 1914. Evolution of housing design themes and space standards enabled
demonstration of their efficacy in the context of his master plans for
Garden City communities. The influence spread through his tract, 'Nothing
Gained by Overcrowding', and the 1919 Housing Act, which required Garden
City standards for public housing, administered by Unwin in the Ministry
of Health. During the 1920s, he initiated a transatlantic dialogue with
planners and housing officials in the USA, where he died in 1940.

Title: One hundred years in the making: the creation and protection of Raymond Unwin's legacy at Hampstead Garden Suburb
Abstract:
Hampstead Garden Suburb celebrated its centenary in 2007. This paper
describes what Unwin created at the Garden Suburb, explains how its
special characteristics are protected today and asks whether the way it is
managed ensures that it meaningfully endures as an iconic community. It
looks at how Unwin developed his role as master planner and consultant
architect to the Trust and the mechanisms he used to ensure the quality of
the site planning and architecture was maintained. Finally, the work of
the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust in protecting the character of the area
is outlined, including some details of the background to the current
statutory mechanisms of protection and the tools the Trust uses to carry
out its role.

Title: Preserving and maintaining the concept of Letchworth Garden City
Abstract:
In 1903, the world's first garden city was founded in Hertfordshire,
England. The utopian dream to combine the best of town and country living
was about to be progressed from concept to reality. A hundred and ten
years later, Letchworth Garden City is a thriving town of 33,000 people
who enjoy living in a place of beauty, underpinned by a strong sense of
identity and community. This paper examines how the legacy of the original
garden city masterplan by Parker and Unwin is protected. It considers how
the town manages its architectural heritage while striving to maintain its
economic viability and responsiveness to today's challenges. The paper
also discusses how a Community Benefit Society - The Letchworth Garden
City Heritage Foundation - manages the town's social reinvestment model,
which ensures that commercial earnings within the town are shared for the
benefit of local communities. The paper looks at the Heritage Foundation's
governance structure and how it is accountable to the local residents and
businesses. A case study summarizing a community consultation exercise to
consider the future of the town centre is also included.

Title: Anti-planning in the 1940s: the paradox of Florence Taylor
Abstract:
In her lifetime Florence Taylor was celebrated as an advocate of town
planning reform in Australia. Based in Sydney, she trained as an architect
but spent most of her long professional life as a publisher and trade
journalist, developing strong ties with the building industry. Unified by
a strong environmental determinist position, early preoccupations with
eradicating slums segued into numerous practical suggestions for improving
city efficiency, focusing on urban renewal and traffic planning. Taylor
was nonetheless often critical of planning in practice. As a
businesswoman, she became antagonistic to planning as an activity of the
modern state because of its apparent privileging of the public sector and
over-regulation of private enterprise and everyday life. This ideological
tension became acute in the 1940s as planning moved from its early
foundation in propaganda and voluntary advocacy towards statutory
oversight. While Taylor's life and career continued to be celebrated by
her professional and social peers into the 1950s, her identification with
mainstream town planning declined. This paper explores the contradictions
in Florence Taylor's encounters with planning in shifting from advocate to
antagonist.

Title: The rise and fall of Monica Felton, British town planner and peace activist, 1930s to 1950s
Abstract:
This article reflects growing academic interest in the careers and
historical significance of professional women town planners, an interest
clearly registered in Planning Perspectives and other
publications. Unlike other women town planners, however, the career of
Monica Felton remains largely obscure. It was certainly short-lived,
beginning as it did on the London County Council in 1937 and ending
spectacularly while she was Chairman of Stevenage Development Corporation
in 1951. Felton became an outcast from both her profession and her country
when she gave up on new town development to campaign against British and
American involvement in the Korean War in 1951. This article emphasizes
her distinctive contribution to the evolving roles of women in British
town planning during the mid-twentieth century and shows how this
contribution was obscured by her fall from grace.

Title: Israeli planning in the Shah's Iran: a forgotten episode
Abstract:
In the 1970s, while the rest of the world was undergoing recession, vast
economic growth in Iran, leading to fast urbanization, generated a growing
international building market in which Israeli construction firms and
architects also participated, benefiting from the good bilateral
relationships at the time. To examine the experience of Israeli architects
working in Iran and how it influenced their professional practice, this
paper focuses on two projects planned and built simultaneously by Israeli
teams. The Navy project was comprised of three massive housing estates and
public amenities for the Iranian Navy's troops and families on the coast
of the Persian Gulf. The Eskan Towers in Tehran was a complex of
residential luxury towers and a commercial centre catering for the Iranian
elite. Review of these cases indicates that national knowledge was not
always the basis for transnational planning, and that the international
arena itself became the source of knowledge and flow. In the Navy project,
the architect derived his ideas from professional practices acquired back
home, while in the Eskan Towers project the team was confronted with the
free-market economy and a globalized practice.

Title: Knowledge and power in regenerating lived space in Treasure Hill, Taipei 1960s-2010: from squatter settlement to a co-living artist village
Abstract:
To the government, the squatter settlement on the ex-military site in
Treasure Hill was an eyesore that should be removed to make way for a
park. To the social activists, including academics and students, the
spatial organization and the consequent social cohesion found in the
settlement were valuable knowledge on use values of the evolving lived
space. Mastering this knowledge and capitalizing on the wider
socio-political opportunity of the new mayor's emphasis on cultural
development, the social activists have succeeded in developing a co-living
discourse, arguing for the merits of having artists-in-residence, welfare
housing tenants and youth hostel sojourners to co-develop a sustainable,
creative learning environment in the historic architecture of the squatter
huts. In order to materialize this ideal, they even became the contractual
party in implementing the project. The case nevertheless highlights the
fragility of organic lived space. While the co-living concept allowed
residents the option to stay in the area, the whole saga had led to the
departure of many residents, dismantling the coherent community and ending
its dynamic self-regenerating process. The experiment of mixing
disadvantaged squatter residents and spontaneous artists in a fossilized
physical setting has not been conducive to regenerating self-sustaining
lived space.

Title: Policy symbolism and air pollution in Toronto and Ontario, 1963-1967
Abstract:
In 1967, jurisdiction over clean air policy in Toronto and the rest of
Ontario's municipalities was transferred to the provincial government.
Even though the municipalities had obtained extensive authority to
regulate air pollution within their own boundaries nine years earlier, the
vast majority (apart from Toronto) had not developed clean air programmes.
Yet air pollution was a highly salient issue that aroused considerable
public attention and local activism. This paper provides an account of the
provincial takeover in air pollution, focusing on two factors enabling the
Ontario government to pass two statutes transferring authority from
municipalities to the provincial Department of Health. First, despite
resistance in Toronto, the policy change was favoured by industry, which
had more influence in the provincial government than across
municipalities. Second, the inherently symbolic features of clean air
policy allowed the provincial government to satisfy public demand for
action while not appreciably creating more stringent regulations. These
findings are consistent with studies of US clean air policy displaying a
similar tendency among industry to support regulatory standardization
across broad political scales.

Title: Laayoune, Sidi Ifni and Dakhla: Ramón Estalella's modernist projects in Spanish West Africa, 1961-1969
Abstract:
When the European metropolises were on the tortuous path to
decolonialization in a complex relationship of power and culture, Spain, a
country whose colonial interests in Africa had never been on the scale of
those of other European countries, made one last attempt to control the
territory with an administrative change, embarking on ambitious urban
planning processes and new forms of social housing through a modern
architecture which took into consideration the contemporary discourse
present in the rest of the continent at the time. Specifically, from 1961
onwards, the National Institute of Housing executed several projects; this
paper examines those directed by the architect Ramón Estalella y Mansó de
Zúñiga in the city of Sidi Ifni (Morocco) and the two most
important cities of Western Sahara, Laayoune and Dakhla. The complex power
relationships, the political atmosphere and cultural interferences
prompted a series of projects which attempted to provide unique and
exceptionally creative urban and architectural solutions.

Title: The Crete Development Plan: a post-Second World War Israeli experience of transnational professional exchange
Abstract:
The paper deals with the Crete Development Plan, prepared in the mid-1960s
by a team of Israeli and Greek planners and funded by the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development in the context of post-Second World
War development. It discusses the export of professional knowledge in the
micro-/macro-political contexts of national and international processes.
Analysis of controversies within the Israeli team draws attention to
incongruities and dissonances between regional concepts and their
applications. It emphasizes how professionals interested in democratic and
participatory processes used data sources to guide implementation, but
also had to rely on mediated information, were removed from actual
decision-making and thus were not directly responsible for the
implementation of such decisions. The paper highlights the political role
of expertise in post-Second World War development, and the ambivalent
position of international experts serving both their countries' and their
own professional goals.

Title: The rules of residential segregation: US housing taxonomies and their precedents
Abstract:
This paper reviews how urban regulations in history have been used to
relegate populations to different parts of the city and its environs. Its
main purpose is to place the twentieth-century US zoning experience in
historic and international contexts. To this end, based mostly on
secondary sources, the paper first surveys a selection of major
civilizations in history and the regulations they invented in order to
keep populations apart. Then, based on primary sources, it discusses the
emergence of three methods of residential segregation through zoning which
took root in the early twentieth-century USA. The three methods are:
segregating people by race, segregating them by different land-area
standards, and segregating them based on both land-area standards and a
taxonomy of single- versus multi-family housing.

Title: Defence, identity, and urban form: the extreme case of Gjirokastra
Abstract:
Gjirokastra, a century-old small city in southern Albania (now a UNESCO
World Heritage site), provides an outstanding example of a Classical and
Late Ottoman urban centre. At the same time, it is a special example of
urban and architectural design based on self-defence by individual family
units. Through an excursion of Gjirokastra's residential neighbourhoods,
this article discusses how defence concerns guided its urban morphology
and building typology until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The idea
of war, feuds, and fear has pervaded the residents' self-identity for
centuries. The military character of their houses owes much to the local
'warrior' mentality that prevailed in times of war and peace.

Title: The exhibition as a lens for planning history
Abstract:
Exhibitions have been a longstanding fixture of planning culture,
especially during the first half of the twentieth century when reform
propaganda arguing for intervention into market-driven urban development
processes was at its height. Exhibitions thus offer a distinctive and
productive thematic approach for planning history. This paper identifies
and discusses six major propositions for this position, ranging from
theoretical to pedagogic arguments.

Title: Buenos Aires and the modern city through Antonio Bonet Castellana's urban proposal: the Plan for Barrio Sur, 1956
Abstract:
Although the Plan for Barrio Sur (1956) proposed by Antonio Bonet
Castellana for the city of Buenos Aires was not executed, this paper
suggests that it offers pertinent insights for studies of the modern city.
The plan defended housing as an important programme in the city centre,
regarded as being primarily for working and leisure, and proposed a city
of multiple functions. Bonet Castellana argued for high-density cities. He
reviewed and reshaped the conventional planning approach (based on the
traditional Spanish grid) with reference to three building types -- the
tower, the greca, and the low-rise. The low-rise type was
particularly significant for him as he used it to determine the amount of
green area dedicated to open-space and a formal pedestrian route. The
combination of the three building types resulted in a new urban pattern in
which open space figured significantly and in a way that was contrary to
the common understanding of its role in the modern city.

Title: La Perla - 100 years of informal architecture in San Juan, Puerto Rico
Abstract:
La Perla, Puerto Rico's most famous informal settlement, developed since
the early 1900s outside the fortifications of San Juan's colonial Old
Town, the country's main tourist attraction. In the mid-twentieth century,
La Perla was a symbol of the poverty and deprivation that development and
scientifically informed planning attempted to remove. Since the 1970s, La
Perla has been a subject of various improvement plans by the local
authority with varying degrees of inhabitant participation. Thus, La Perla
is connected with the great hopes and fears of the twentieth century: the
promise of modernization and progress and the ensuing disappointments, the
limitations of top-down decision-making and expert planning, the distress
of poverty and marginalization, the opportunities of self-organization and
informality, and the threat of forced relocation imposed by gentrification
cycles. Based on previously unpublished archival materials, this article
presents an architectural and planning history of La Perla. It compares
building types, ownership structures, and municipal policies throughout
the 100 years of La Perla's existence. The article challenges the
distinction that legitimizes formal housing as the rule and informal
abodes as an environment that is fundamentally different from the formal
city. In La Perla, formal and informal did not constitute polar opposites,
but have to be regarded as two aspects of the same urbanization process.
In this sense, La Perla is an intrinsic part of San Juan's architectural
heritage.

Title: From planning to opportunism? Re-examining the creation of the London Docklands Development Corporation
Abstract:
East London's former docklands have been at the centre of planning and
regeneration debates for the past four decades. The setting up of the
London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) has been variously
interpreted as '3-D Thatcherism' in action, a symbol of the death of
comprehensive planning and the replacement of a corporatist, Keynesian era
of urban policy with a more neoliberal approach. Moving away from
simplistic and straightforward interpretations of the processes happening
at this time, this article uses new archival and interview material to
re-examine the setting up of the LDDC and its early years, revealing a
more complex and contradictory picture than existing accounts suggest. It
focuses on three themes: changing forms of state intervention; the
uncertain 'break' in the post-war consensus as evidenced by the changes in
approaches to the regeneration of Docklands; and the unintended,
disordered process of actual policy change. As such we aim to reveal how
shifting visions, modes of governance and practices could compete and
co-exist in the midst of seemingly coherent 'eras', as Docklands as a
place and as an approach to regeneration was constantly made and re-made -
a process that continues to this day.

Title: From the First Five-Year Plan to the Cultural Revolution: the pre-reform urban transformation of Hangzhou, China
Abstract:
Pre-reform Chinese cities base their uniqueness in urban transformation on
Mao's duality of utopian and revolutionary ideals and pragmatic and
economized approaches in practice. Through the lens of urban economy,
population management, and city planning, this paper examines China's
pre-reform urban transformation. By the case study of Hangzhou, this
research reveals that urban development was driven by a diverse set of
forces devised by the communist state to configure the urban conditions
and control people's daily lives in pursuit of radical socialist goals.
The controls from the state and other pertinent forces led to the actual
outcomes of political-economic ambitions and spatial policy rhetoric. It
was an inherent feature of the society and economy to go outside of the
state's controls, and the unintended consequences were unavoidable. The
state had to revise their strategies, the outcomes of which were again to
be tested by time. An iterative process determined the urban
transformation of Chinese cities.

Title: Territorial development in the Cape Verde archipelago under the Estado Novo dictatorship (1953-1974)
Abstract:
Despite Portugal's neutrality in the Second World War (1939-1945), the
subsequent new world order meant that the Portuguese Government felt
obliged to revise its overseas policies. A new regional awareness could be
seen in the Six-Year National Development Plans launched by Estado
Novo from 1953 until the revolution of 1974. The territory and
its strategic potential were emphasized in the context of national
policies of overseas urbanization. Interventions in Cape Verde are visible
particularly in the First Development Plan, which was based on equipping
the province's public facilities. The methodology of intervention involved
setting up missions aimed at planning a set of specific public works which
were essential to the development of existing settlements. A sharp
increase in the development of the territory through the work of
specialized brigades took place in the Third Development Plan, when a set
of public works on road, hydraulic and electricity networks was
undertaken. The planning of infrastructures that was undertaken in these
years was essential to the development of the archipelago and the
resulting regional and urban land-use planning of the various islands.

Title: Recovering Walter Burley Griffin's final American city plan
Abstract:
In 1912, Walter Burley Griffin famously won the international design
competition for Australia's national capital, later named Canberra. In
1914, Walter - along with his wife and professional partner Marion Mahony
Griffin - moved from their native Chicago to Australia to orchestrate
Canberra's realization. On a return visit to the USA in 1925, Walter was
commissioned to lay out an extension to the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge.
Until now, this project was only known from a singular, passing mention of
it in a period newspaper article. This report reconstructs the writer's
convoluted effort - spanning more than a decade - to confirm Walter Burley
Griffin's authorship of this enigmatic project and to locate the plan
itself. In parallel, it recovers, partly based upon evidence-derived
suppositions, the circumstances surrounding what proved to be Griffin's
final American commission.

Title: Equality in death: Sigurd Lewerentz and the planning of Malmö Eastern Cemetery 1916-1973
Abstract:
The exponential growth of industrialized cities at the turn of the
twentieth century led town planners and architects in Sweden to design new
cemeteries and engage in the discussion with novel approaches to
commemoration. Malmö Eastern Cemetery (1916-1973) was designed by Sigurd
Lewerentz (1885-1975) and represented an ambitious experiment: a new scale
of cemetery landscape, which involved planting vegetation anew and
detracted from sweeping picturesque designs. This paper analyses how
Lewerentz's approach to the equality of individual tombstones affected his
design of Malmö Eastern Cemetery, both in terms of burial spaces for
individuals and the commemorative public realm. Based on archival research
and field work, this paper delves into the interplay between the cemetery
designers and the different urban planners of Malmö over a period of
dramatic transformation in the eastern districts of the increasingly
industrialized city. Although Lewerentz initially differentiated between
tombstones, after 1922 he reconsidered his cemetery plans, setting
standards that made commemoration accessible to everyone while limiting
individual choices. Lewerentz's homogenizing decisions in planning Malmö
cemetery provide a lens through which to examine how equality has shaped
discussions around commemoration, representing ideals of societies across
history and the underlying tensions between individual freedom and
society.

Title: Hitler's ‘Generalsiedlungsplanung Ost’: a case only for Poland? A forgotten dimension of national-socialist spatial and town planning in the former Czechoslovakia
Abstract:
Adolf Hitler constructed his Nazi ideology as a universal worldview aimed
at the German Reich's eastward expansion; the
‘Generalsiedlungsplanung Ost’ programme was officially
launched in 1940. The forcible establishment of multiple administrative
units in 1938/1939 created the conditions for an architecture that would
serve the totalitarian regime. Thus began an enormous planning process and
the targeted institutionalization of urban development and spatial
planning and research. This programme included not only German government
agencies and research institutions specifically established or reorganized
for this purpose, but increasingly also involved communal politics and
independent or government architects. The author pursues the thesis that
this Germanization concept, formulated within the framework of the
‘Generalsiedlungspläne Ost’, allowed the relevant
agencies to increase their influence or eliminate any opponents. From this
basis, the study identifies the role that GBI
(Generalbauinspektor) for Berlin Albert Speer, his
architects, and local architects played in the planning process in
Czechoslovakia and Poland, and analyses the architectural evidence of the
Nazi rulers’ Germanization and colonization policies. The initial
comparison of the urban planning models applied in ‘Großreich
Deutschland’ with those in the annexed regions in today's Poland
and Czech Republic offers relevant arguments related to this far-reaching
sociological and architecture--historical topic.

Title: Towards Brasília and Ciudad Guayana. Development, urbanization and regional planning in Latin America, 1940s--1960s
Abstract:
From a panoramic and comparative perspective, the article aims at
reviewing the framework of regional and national planning in Brasília
and Venezuela's Ciudad Guayana, while exploring their relationship with
political and economic goals in the heyday of Latin America's modernism
and desarrollismo (developmentalism). Although these
projects have often been addressed in terms of their architectural value
and urban design, this article's approach stresses their relationship, on
the one hand, with national processes of industrialization and
urbanization, and on the other, with regional models of development,
already tested on the continent. Such an approach requires, firstly, the
contextualization of Latin America's growing corporate states after the
Second World War, while exploring the relationship with national
apparatuses of North American-orientated planeamiento
that progressively replaced the urbanismo fostered by
European traditions since the 1920s. The case of Brasília is
explained through the image of its original sin, in the sense that the
city did not result from proper regional planning, a shortcoming that
eventually reduced its capacity for adapting new functions and settlements
to the original Pilot Plan. Ciudad Guayana's main hindrance was instead
its feet of clay; in addition to the weakness of the industrial activity
in the long term, both Puerto Ordaz and San Félix were remotely
planned, without much attention paid to their integration and the
absorption of the informal population.

Title: Garden cities in the Jewish Yishuv of Palestine: Zionist ideology and practice 1905--1945
Abstract:
The Garden City Movement is recognized as a dominant forerunner of modern
urban planning. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the broad
popularity and selective adoption of Garden City concepts in Zionist
circles and the Jewish Yishuv (Community) in Palestine, to document their
implementation in Jewish urban settlement in Palestine, and to follow
their local evolution into the creation of a unique urban fabric. We show
how the Garden City ideology and its implementation in England and Germany
influenced the Zionist movement, its leaders, and settlers in Ottoman and
British Mandatory Palestine, and led them to adopt and adapt concepts of
the Garden City model as the ‘national paradigm’ of the new
Jewish urban planning in Palestine. The planning was influenced by Garden
City ideas, with modifications to Ebenezer Howard's original model made to
suit local traditions, public demand, and Zionist goals. The application
of the message of the Garden City movement to the physical model beginning
unintentionally with the building of Ahuzat Bayit (Tel Aviv) in 1909,
created a guiding principle for Jewish urban development in Palestine from
1905 until 1945, and continues to exert its influence on current planning.
In conclusion, the article adds a dimension to the emerging picture of
early twentieth-century Zionist settlement in Palestine as a laboratory
for implementing novel planning ideas of international importance.

Title: One strike, you're out: the residue of state deregulatory experiments and neoliberal era criminals in a faded Texas boomtown
Abstract:
Both the savings and loans (S&L) crisis of the late 1980s and the more
recent subprime mortgage crisis left physical residues in the built
landscape of American cities. With the crises, communities that had been
the sites of speculative growth became sites of vacant properties,
foreclosed properties, unimproved subdivisions, and razed structures. This
paper considers the legacy of one such episode of urban development
preceding the S&L crisis along Interstate 30 Garland, Texas, where
criminals took advantage of deregulation and lax local planning policies
to hastily construct a condominium glut. The central argument of the paper
is that regional policies fostering outward growth coupled with federal
policies stimulating extreme boom and bust cycles have created brief
periods in which American Sunbelt communities experience growth pressures,
which harnessed incorrectly have created the danger of a ‘one
strike, you're out’ scenario: a single chance to succeed or
fail.Video abstractRead the

Title: Transatlantic crossings: new forms of meaning in the city of the 1970s
Abstract:
This micro-narrative explores transatlantic meetings of influential
European and American figures at Cornell University in the 1970s. It
focuses on Colin Rowe, Oswald Ungers, and Rem Koolhaas, respectively
authors of the widely known books Collage City (1978),
The City within the City (1977), and Delirious
New York (1978). The article argues that their time in the USA
led them to produce a body of urban thought that may be seen as a tipping
point in design, both for European cities and the USA urban landscape. The
twentieth-century discourse on the city is markedly transnational and has
often sought a neutral logic for configuring the built environment, yet it
also bears the marks of the places in which it was conceived. The
disillusionment with the universalizing and technocratic discourse of
modernism was already tangible throughout the European debates on the city
at the time. The Cornell period incited these three figures to abandon a
societally engaged approach to the city in architecture in order to
develop a body of work that reclaimed architecture and urban space as
domains of cultural meaning. From a background of the social agendas of
Europe and confronted with the unselfconscious American environment, Rowe,
Ungers, and Koolhaas developed a specifically architectural perspective on
planning and urban ideas.

Title: Planning mega-event legacies: uncomfortable knowledge for host cities
Abstract:
The rhetoric employed when cities bid for the right to host mega-events
like the Olympic Games suggests that benefits will include improved
infrastructure, investment in city infrastructure, and regeneration of
neglected urban areas. However, the legacy of mega-events has historically
been mixed; while some cities have been recognized for their development
efforts, many others have been vilified for their subsequent actions, or
lack thereof. The term legacy itself is, however, problematic; it presents
a one-sided view of positive effects, without adequate consideration of
downside risk in bidding. This research draws on interviews from people
involved in six different mega-events and illustrates the challenges of
addressing legacy with a variety of examples, including a detailed look at
the London 2012 Olympic Games’ legacy negotiations regarding the
use of the Olympic Stadium to gain insight into how legacy opportunities
are developed. Drawing on the concept of uncomfortable knowledge, the
dispute over the legacy use of the Olympic Stadium is used to examine the
mixed perspectives of the different parties involved in decisions over
mega-event legacies. We conclude by suggesting that unacknowledged
interests, which remain constructively ambiguous during the bidding phase,
create the opportunity for uncomfortable knowledge to arise in the
planning process. The use of uncomfortable knowledge as a theoretical lens
provides a useful construct to focus on the boundaries and limitations of
knowledge in planning mega-events.

Title: Hygiene and public health in Santiago de Chile's urban agenda, 1892--1927
Abstract:
This article discusses the incorporation of ideas about hygiene and public
health into urban projects in Santiago de Chile. Changes in the
institutional framework were supported and led by professionals that
worked closely with the State. The article covers the period from 1892,
when the Hygiene Council (Consejo de Higiene) was
founded, to 1927, when the Ministry of Welfare (Ministerio de
Bienestar) was created to take charge of public health. By
focusing on institutional components rather than theoretic discussions,
this paper also intends to contribute to an understanding of urban
modernization in Latin America during the twentieth century. While
hygienic issues appeared from the late nineteenth century as an explicitly
urban concern, precedents can be dated back to the late Colonial era when
the Bourbons raised similar questions, with more or less effectiveness, in
most Hispanic colonial territories. For this reason, the article includes
a first section that deals with the notable efforts of that period to
improve urban hygiene -- efforts that are crucial to understanding the
contemporary Latin American city.

Title: Bubonic plague, colonial ideologies, and urban planning policies: Dakar, Lagos, and Kumasi
Abstract:
The Third Plague Pandemic originated in Southwest China in the
mid-nineteenth century, reached Africa's shores around 1900, and spread
globally for about a century. This article examines three plague loci in
colonial Senegal (Dakar, 1914), Nigeria (Lagos, 1924), and the Gold Coast
(today's Ghana; Kumasi, 1924). A tripartite comparative analysis is made
of French and British doctrines of colonial rule, colonial urban planning
policies, and anti-plague practices. While some common features are
demonstrated in the policies and practices of the colonizing forces such
as the implementation of rigorous measures and embracing segregationist
solutions, divergent features can also be distinguished. These relate to
the methods of implementation of planning and anti-plague policies, in
accordance with colonial ideology (assimilation, direct and indirect
rule); and to the very nature of autochthonous communities, responses, and
levels of agitation. Our both comparative and more nuanced site-related
view is also based on a large collection of archival and secondary
materials from multilateral channels.

Title: Alvar Aalto and the industrial origins of Finnish 1940s community planning
Abstract:
In Finland the construction of post-war neighbourhoods started in 1950,
but its ideological background was in the planning of the 1940s. As has
been shown, the principles of Anglo-American neighbourhood unit planning
and regional planning influence the structural principles that were
adopted for neighbourhood units. This paper presents another narrative for
the period by analysing the work of the architect Alvar Aalto, who was a
pioneer of Finnish regional planning and was significantly active in
community planning. After having established good relations with Finnish
industry, he got the chance to develop his own community planning
principles. They became close to the principles of neighbourhood unit
planning but, at the same time, were personal and extended beyond them.
This paper examines in closer detail three of Aalto's plans and the way he
combined planning and building design. In this way it is possible to
better understand the ideas of the 1940s and the importance of Finnish
industry during this time. Aalto's activity during the 1940s also explains
his success in later decades.

Title: The challenge of distance in designing civil protest: the case of Resurrection City in the Washington Mall and the Occupy Movement in Zuccotti Park
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the way people define and challenge practices of
distance during protest and the way protesters disrupt ‘generally
established and universally visible and valid distances’ associated
with the place. In illuminating these ideas, two case studies with
seemingly similar socio-spatial characteristics are explored. The first
case was initiated by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and
aimed to call attention to the nation's neediest people by embarking on
the ‘Poor People's Campaign’, which settled people on the
National Mall in an encampment they called Resurrection City (RC). The
second action, the Occupy Movement, was an international protest movement
directed towards social and economic inequality. The Occupy Movement
called upon protesters to ‘flood into lower Manhattan, set up
tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few
months’ to call attention to the inequalities of global capitalism.
The paper interprets the strategies and tactics used by the Poor People's
Campaign and the Occupy Movement to challenge distance, concluding with
some reflections on the way contemporary forms of dissent are changing the
way we perceive public space and its politics.

Title: The development of town planning education at University College London 1914--1969: the contributions of professors S. D. Adshead, L. P. Abercrombie, and W. G. Holford
Abstract:
Drawing on archival records of the University of London and University
College London (UCL) and contemporary literature, this article examines
the development of town planning education at UCL from 1914 to 1969 under
the headships of Professors Stanley Adshead, Patrick Abercrombie, and
William Holford. UCL established its Certificate and Diploma courses at a
time when town planning was in its infancy as an academic discipline and
field of professional activity. There were no precedents to follow -- it
was not until 1916 that the Town Planning Institute formulated its first
syllabus. Adshead's initial course structure and curriculum remained
largely unchanged until the decision was taken in 1971 to phase out the
part-time planning courses. Subsequent changes reflected the personal
planning philosophies of his successors, the recommendations of the
Schuster Committee of 1950, the post-war transformation of statutory
planning in the UK, and the changing requirements of professional
accreditation.

Title: Facilitating planning communication across borders: The International Federation for Housing and Town Planning in the interwar period
Abstract:
Several scholars, including Pierre-Yves Saunier and Renaud Payre, have
studied how the members of the various networks of the ‘urban
internationale’ attempted to overcome professional and political
cleavages throughout the twentieth century. In contrast, only a few
scholars have scrutinized the ways in which international professional
institutions sought to prevail over interlingual difficulties. Although
various institutions restricted communication to English, French, and
German, many members had only a limited command of foreign languages;
additionally, amateur interpreters further impeded multilingual
conversation. Resulting language difficulties worsened professional and
political conflicts within the urban internationale. Charting the attempts
of the International Federation for Housing and Town Planning (IFHTP) to
establish an international notation of town plans and an interlingual
glossary for urban planning, this essay studies attempts of the urban
internationale to facilitate communication across borders during the
interwar era. Through the example of the IFHTP, this article studies how
planners within this international network organized transborder expert
cooperation. It focuses on the debates surrounding the creation of a
notation system and a glossary, designed to facilitate communication
between planners from Western industrial societies while largely excluding
connections to the Colonies and other parts of the world.

Title: Planning law, power, and practice: Haussmann in Paris (1853--1870)
Abstract:
The transformation of Paris by Haussmann (1853--1870) is presented as a
classic case of state-led modernization. What most accounts do not take
into consideration is that Haussmann faced formidable opposition from
property owners in his attempts to realize the emperor's ambitions for
Paris, an opposition that centred on competing interpretations and uses of
planning law. Based on heretofore unstudied archival material, this paper
traces Haussmann's attempts to establish his (at times) creative use of
planning law as legitimate in a context where planning was firmly in the
hands of property owners. Haussmann's strategic use of the law, or
planning practice, was able to lay bare the fact that planning law has no
legitimacy in itself -- only particular uses of the law can gain or lose
legitimacy. Planning power can thus be defined as the possession of
legitimacy in the use of planning law; and since the legal framework is a
site of contest rather than a source of legitimacy, planning power depends
on external legitimation. In the Haussmann case it is clear that state
backing was central, even though (implicit) early support from the
Parisian population cannot be ruled out until more research has been
conducted.

Title: Shan-shui myth and history: the locally planned process of combining the ancient city and West Lake in Hangzhou, 1896--1927
Abstract:
In early modern China, several modern construction plans were carried out
in Hangzhou's ancient city centre and West Lake, leading to the formation
of a lake-city combined urban form, which is now valued for its uniqueness
and characteristically Chinese cityscape aesthetic. The catalyst for this
process of combining the ancient city and West Lake was a plan titled
‘Building a New Market’ (1914), developed on the basis of a
draft presented in the Zhejiang provincial assembly during the late Qing
Dynasty, striving for urban renewal by promoting West Lake. After the
Xinhai Revolution, seizing the opportunity of physical and temporal
changes, local officials successfully implemented this plan by using
pioneering planning methods to strengthen the link between the ancient
city and West Lake. The steps of this plan's implementation, namely
‘pull down the city wall -- build roads -- construct new
market’, widely influenced other cities in the early 1920s. Also,
this plan led to two subsequent projects, the Circling Road plan (1920)
and West Lake Expo (1922/1927), furthering the urbanization reform of West
Lake aimed at making it part of the city.

Title: Gyoji Banshoya (1930--1998): a Japanese planner devoted to historic cities in the Middle East and North Africa
Abstract:
Gyoji Banshoya (1930--1998) was a Japanese urban planner whose life-work
was urban planning in the Middle East and North Africa. The purpose of
this paper is to provide an overview of his work, which still remains
unknown. His early masterpiece, the ‘Square House’, shows
how he was influenced by Kiyoshi Seike to apply historic spatial
composition to realize width and convertibility in low-cost housing.
Following this, Banshoya studied under the supervision of Gerald Hanning
and George Candilis at Ateliers de Bâtisseurs in
Paris, and went to Algiers to engage in the study of ‘evolutionary
habitat’. As a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) expert,
he began working with Michel Ecochard in 1962 in Beirut, Damascus, and
Aleppo. They were responsible for the elaboration of master plans for
these three cities, and that of Damascus still remains as a legally active
master plan today. Coupled with the Syrian political struggle since the
1980s, there has been some reaction against their modernist policies.
However, the case is made for a detailed examination of Banshoya's work,
and re-evaluation of its legacy for the urban planning history of the
Middle East and North Africa.

Title: The making and remaking of Hackney Wick, 1870--2014: from urban edgeland to Olympic fringe
Abstract:
This paper is concerned with issues of urban change in areas of London
that have become the focus of regeneration strategies predicated on
accommodating growth and development within existing city boundaries. Its
focus is in the Lower Lea Valley in East London, which developed in the
nineteenth century in the context of its peripheral location with respect
to central London and which continues to lie at the seam between urban
authorities. Today, this whole area is subject to regeneration plans based
on addressing the physical and social manifestations of this transforming
peripherality -- including environmental impacts of industrialization,
post-industrial piecemeal development, spatial disconnection, and
long-standing patterns of social deprivation -- by creating a framework
geared towards attracting new investment, population and employment and,
in the process, addressing the impediments to change that are seen to have
been posed by fractured local policy. Taking one small part of this larger
area, Hackney Wick, which is beside the 2012 London Olympic site in the
London Borough of Hackney, the paper turns to planning history to explore
its development from the nineteenth century in relation to urban
boundaries. It uses this exploration as the basis for reflecting on the
significance of contemporary boundary adjustments and plans predicated on
facilitating the creation of local centrality for the remaking of an urban
‘edgeland’.

Title: Tokyo’s Dojunkai experiment: courtyard apartment blocks 1926--1932
Abstract:
Dojunkai apartments were constructed by the Japanese Government as a work
of relief, after the Great Kanto Earthquake in Tokyo. These apartments
were leading examples in concrete construction in Japan and were
innovative in their exterior space design ideas and building
organizational themes. Dojunkai apartments were designed not only as
solutions to particular sites, but as possible models for the further
development of well-planned, secure, and communal neighbourhood style
residential developments. During 1920--1930, Japanese architects and
designers were actively involved in experimenting with foreign concepts of
urban remodelling and town planning. However while these town-planning
concepts and theories were embraced by Japanese architects and town
planners, the resultant apartment complexes suggest that they endeavoured
to adapt and transform them to suit Japanese sensibilities and urban
requirements. This paper examines the nature of these adaptations and
transformations. The principles of exterior space design are deployed to
examine and identify patterns in building arrangement and exterior space
design for six selected Dojunkai apartments. This paper discusses the
pre-existing models of urban planning in Japan to establish a relationship
between the adopted foreign town-planning models and the pre-existing
ideas of urban settlements in the Japanese society.

Title: The Royal Fine Art Commission and 75 years of English design review: the final 15 years, 1984–1999
Abstract:
This paper is the second of two linked papers that focus on the work of the Royal Fine Art Commission (RFAC), which for three quarters of a century held the mantel of the UK Government’s advisor on design in the built environment. This paper tells the story of the organization’s final 15 years when, under a new and charismatic leader, the Commission substantially changed its modus operandi, and came out of the shadows, although without ever fully embracing the modern era of government. Analysis of the archives are supplemented by what the limited available literature tells us about the RFAC and by a small number of interviews with key stakeholders with first-hand experience of the operation of the RFAC; those who either worked for it, were responsible for it within Government, or were reviewed by it. The experience offers valuable insights into the practices and problematics of design governance that today, internationally, forms one of the keystones of modern day planning.

Title: Martin Wagner in America: planning and the political economy of capitalist urbanization
Abstract:
Martin Wagner’s contribution to planning thought and management during the Weimar Republic is widely known, but he recedes into obscurity afterwards. However, he maintained a tenacious intellectual activity in his American exile, conducting teaching-oriented research as Associate Professor of Planning at Harvard Graduate School of Design and prolonging these explorations until his passing in 1957. Working with students and other colleagues – most prominently Walter Gropius – Wagner devised comprehensive proposals for an alternative regional urbanization pattern that combined radical city-core renewal for conspicuous services and high-end residence with a massive suburbanization of middle- and working-class housing and industrial activities. This scheme exacerbated his earlier conceptions and simultaneously incorporated new inflections stemming from a critical engagement with contemporary debates in the US, which allow a better understanding of his German period and the transatlantic transfer of planning ideologies. At Harvard, Wagner reinforced the political-economic perspective of his work, following a contradictory imperative to secure the implementation of proposals by assimilating capital’s spatiality in design strategies. Taking the dynamics of profit-oriented urbanization to their logical conclusion, the American Wagner envisioned a dark albeit consistent ‘diagram’ of the potential reach of a stark capitalist approach to territorial restructuring, prefiguring major urban shifts in subsequent decades.

Title: Carlo Doglio (1914–1995) and the theory and practice of slingshot planning
Abstract:
In 1961 Carlo Doglio (1914–1995) left London, where he had spent the previous six years studying Town Planning (among other things), to join the poet, activist, and social worker Danilo Dolci in leading the development plan of one of the poorest and most marginalized Italian regions: Sicily. Doglio’s actions were guided by a constant dissatisfaction with a model of society that excluded communities from the decision-making process. In Sicily, he saw this as an opportunity to use technical knowledge and experience to achieve a different model of social organization, based on social cooperation and voluntary action. As a militant planner and anarchist, he believed that the planning process had to be structured from the bottom-up in order to offer choices that could be freely discussed and appropriately fulfilled, by the community. Based on original documents from the planner’s archive, this study provides an overview of his work in Sicily, the place where his theories and practices best express his identity as a planner. Although this article offers a detailed examination of Doglio’s work, it also introduces the notion of urban and regional planning as a form of social action and as a means to promote a new form of society, built on pro-active and cooperative communities.

Title: Property rights, urban land markets and the contradictions of redevelopment in centrally located informal settlements in Bogotá, Colombia, and Buenos Aires, Argentina
Abstract:
Following rapid urban growth over the past four decades, informal settlements originally located in peripheral areas of large Latin American cities are now occupying increasingly valuable land in the central city. As a result, these communities are facing intense redevelopment pressures with important implications for housing accessibility. Although this situation is common in the region, central city redevelopment assumes a variety of forms depending on shifting approaches to land titling under different urban governance regimes, resulting in variegated, formal, and informal land markets. This comparative historical case study of Bogotá, Colombia, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, suggests that urban redevelopment planning has drawn on two contrasting discourses of property rights: one privileging private market approaches based in the economic theory of Libertarianism; the other favouring state authority and redistribution building on the ethics of Utilitarianism. In both Bogotá and Buenos Aires, however, de facto land-titling policies have shifted between the principles of Libertarianism and Utilitarianism under different political regimes, and neither market- nor state-oriented approaches have served to safeguard low-income residents’ access to housing. Instead, the shifting influence of each discourse has structured formal and informal land markets in ways that complicate long-standing debates surrounding land titling in informal settlements.

Title: Mastering the urbanization process. The urban questions of engineer August Mennes in the Antwerp agglomeration
Abstract:
Processes of urban expansion at the turn of the twentieth century have generally been described in terms of ‘regional planning’. However, in the Belgian context, and in Antwerp more specifically, the concept of the ‘agglomeration’ was put to the fore rather than the ‘region’, and ‘urbanization’ was a more common practice than ‘planning’. This paper shows how a ‘programme of urbanization’ centred on pertinent ‘urban questions’ shaped the contours of the Antwerp Agglomeration. In adopting this perspective of ‘programmatic urbanization’, the paper seeks to place the development of Antwerp extra muros within a different lineage, outside of the quest for comprehensive planning. Recomposing an eclectic catalogue of five pertinent ‘urban questions’, this paper investigates how and to which extent the Study Committee for the development of the Antwerp Agglomeration and its prominent engineer August Mennes, tried to master the urbanization process as it unfolded. Urbanization, then, is framed as a collective practice that generates positive agglomeration effects and surplus values that could not have been produced by individual actors. As such, the paper expands the understanding of urbanization from a random process of capital accumulation to a project that includes the building of social and cultural capital.

Title: Across the border. Ties of architects and urban planners between East and West Germany: the case of Egon Hartmann, 1954–1976
Abstract:
Egon Hartmann (1919–2009) was a prominent East German planner and a rising star of the architectural scene in the early years of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). A graduate from the College for Architecture and Fine Arts, he became Chief Architect of Thuringia in 1951 and built such remarkable architectures like the government high-rise in Erfurt. Nevertheless, he left the GDR in 1954, settled in West Germany where he first worked in Mainz and then moved to Munich and thereby became a ‘crosser’, one of the few planners who successfully worked on both sides of the Iron Curtain. This paper traces Egon Hartmann’s private–professional ties based on the letters sent to/ from him across the inner-German border that have been archived in his estate. It aims to show that integrating a personal dimension and very specific patterns of communication into the analysis of transnational connections, transfers, exchanges, and cooperation of planners reveals rather informal ties that created unexpected relations across the Iron Curtain. Nevertheless, those were a crucial resource for the planners’ career and private life, when formal bonds were destabilized due to large-scale political tensions and the division of the two worlds.

Title: Segregation and conflict in post-modernist Caracas: from Pérez’s Gran Venezuela to Chávez’s Bolivarian Revolution
Abstract:
Reviewing political and economic changes underwent since the so-called Gran Venezuela, characterized by the nationalization of oil and mammoth projects during the first presidency of Carlos Andrés Pérez (CAP, 1974–1979), the article focuses on the socio-spatial segregation and urban conflict staged in Caracas until Hugo Chávez’s Bolivarian Revolution (1999–2013). It is a timespan when, at an urban scale, the oil-booming and modernist capital of the 1950s – initial episode of the article’s review – gave way to a less progressive and more deteriorated metropolis, which has become one of Latin America’s most polarized and conflictive arenas. Drawn from a research project about ‘The City in the Thought of Urban Venezuela’, the article outlines, from a methodological standpoint, an urban overview throughout some images, which intertwines the political and intellectual discourse about the city with its changing structure and perception. In this respect, the article’s approach is arguably inscribed within the urban cultural history in Latin America. For decades after CAP’s second government (1989–1993), the article intends as well a closer examination of segregation in the public space, considering that Caracas has become Latin America’s testbed of political and spatial polarization, fuelled by the unrest characteristic of Chávez’s neo-populist revolution.

Title: Topographies of the future: urban and suburban visions in Edward Bellamy’s utopian fiction
Abstract:
In Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897), Edward Bellamy offered two distinct but interrelated visions of a utopian future. The first and more famous book was set in a luxuriant, centralized metropolis. The sequel detailed decentralized, suburbanized infrastructures. Within the literature on Bellamy these emendations have been treated as evidence of regressive anti-urbanism. This paper argues instead that Bellamy used correlations between topography and technology to mediate an evolving approach to social reform. The discrepancies between the two texts did not represent abandonment of the city but rather an expansion of the scale and scope necessary to ensure social progress. While Looking Backward has often been invoked in relation the Garden City and City Beautiful movements, a new reading of Equality offers opportunities to rethink Bellamy’s relationship to planning history.

Title: Cities and plans – the past defines the future
Abstract:
Urban planning is often considered unnecessary from a neo-liberal viewpoint, particularly as the market would guarantee an optimal spatial allocation of facilities and uses without it. Planning costs and bureaucracy would be saved and the implementation of projects accelerated. However, it is argued here that urban planning has achieved many successes since the beginning of urbanization, which have led to an improvement in the living conditions of broad sections of the population. Urban planning history needs to evaluate these experiences, advancements (and failures), and to apply them for future projects and developments. In the meantime, the professional identity of planning history has been increasingly strengthened by new approaches and cross-border networking.

Title: The plan as a colonization project: the medina of Tlemcen under French rule, 1842–1920
Abstract:
In the nineteenth century, Algerian cities were the first medinas in the Arab world to be colonized by a European power. Tlemcen, a medieval medina involved in this historical event, was marked by a relentless struggle on the part of the French administration to transform it into a city conforming to modern standards. The antagonism between two urban systems – the ‘Islamic city’ and the modern city – takes a problematic form when confronted with urban interventions that had colonizing aims. This paper will argue that the plan of the colonial city introduced a new order, subjecting the medieval medina within a set/subset relationship. Through urban subordination, the French military–civil administration used the plan layout as an instrument to control and dominate the medina of Tlemcen. In order to verify this hypothesis, a thorough study of documents dating from the early years of the French occupation was undertaken; thus, this paper is constructed as an urban study, based on a historico-morphological approach.

Title: From cantonments to townships: Lugard’s influence upon British colonial urban governance in Africa
Abstract:
The cantonment has been a neglected topic of planning history, yet is significant for urban landscapes and governance in both India and Africa. Drawing upon scholarship in critical comparative legal geography, path dependency and Foucault’s genealogical method, the article explores the transfer of laws and regulations for urban governance by networks of knowledge and actors, tracing a line of descent from rules for cantonments in British India, through Lugard’s Nigerian period, and his indirect rule policy to townships and local government ordinances. The influence of Lugard’s Political Memoranda and Dual Mandate books is evidenced through the work of various senior officials moving between colonies, specifically South Africa, Kenya, and Northern Rhodesia.

Title: A Theosophical Garden City: designing household life in Bombay, circa 1924
Abstract:
Histories of the Garden City in the colonial world have brought attention to planning professionals, colonial officials, and native elites who instituted new economic and political practices through the construction of garden cities and suburbs. Less well known is that the Theosophical Society, a worldwide heterodox religious movement, appropriated the imagery and terminology of the Garden City to imagine a novel form of suburban living and political community in late colonial South Asia. Although Theosophists were among the earliest residents of Letchworth, in 1924 the Theosophical Society created a ‘Theosophical Garden City’ on the outskirts of Bombay that bore little resemblance to British garden cities and suburbs. Formed amid growing demands in India for national independence, this Theosophical Garden City envisioned India as a federation of localities within a polycentric ‘world-empire’. Examining architectural and town plans for the Theosophical Garden City, this article argues that the creation of a Theosophical community, and the imagining of India’s future place in a global union of nations, depended less on the display of esoteric symbols in communal gathering spaces and more on the design of household life.

Title: From to cooperation – engineers overseas and the rise of planning expertise in the twentieth century
Abstract:
By shedding light on the overseas branch of the Corps des Ponts-et-Chaussées (CPC), this article analyses the scientific and technical contribution of this sub-group of engineers in the post-Second World War era. After introducing the historical background of the early involvement of the CPC in the French colonies, this paper concentrates on the late colonial period. Details of the strong interconnectedness of metropolitan and overseas technical expertise are provided. It is shown that civil engineering practised overseas not only enhanced many technical fields within the traditional preserve of the Corps but also facilitated the rapid expansion of the Corps out of this very preserve. Engineers were prompt in including urban expertise and town planning, rural hydraulic and hydrogeology within their current field of activities. Consequences were highly significant not only for overseas urban and rural milieu, but also for metropolitan territories undergoing post-war redevelopment. The last section of this article shows how the techno-scientific practice acquired overseas was instrumental in the post-colonial years to foster the redeployment of the CPC as a whole in the different fields of civil engineering on an international scale.

Title: Comprehensive planning in Japanese large cities
Abstract:
Comprehensive planning has been a key activity of local governments in Japan. This paper discusses the history of the comprehensive planning concept and argues that the purpose of comprehensive planning in large Japanese cities (dai-toshi) differs from that in Western cities. Specifically, Japanese comprehensive plans reflect Japan’s distinctive planning and political culture, such as the country’s history of granting gradually increased local autonomy to its cities under the Local Government Act, and the implementation of top-down plans prepared and implemented by powerful mayors and bureaucracies. Since year 2000 comprehensive plans for Japanese large cities have begun to change due to lower rates of economic growth, population stability, and ageing, alongside the challenges of introducing more efficiency and effectiveness into the planning process.

Title: Building and planning regulations under Israeli colonial power: a critical study from Palestine
Abstract:
Colonial regimes used urban planning regulations as a tool to control and dominate other people and natural resources. Since the beginning of the past century, Palestine represented a good example of where urban planning regulations played a major role in urban transformation and development. The Israeli regime has been using old regional plans that were prepared by the British Mandate, and issued many others to achieve its aim of establishing settlements and dominating the West Bank. Consequently, this study explores how urban planning regulations can become a tool for controlling and dominating people and natural resources. This study investigated how these tools were used by controlling authority during the past century.

Title: The planning history of Japan in a world history planning perspective
Abstract:
This is an edited version of my keynote address given at the opening session of the 18th International Planning History Society (IPHS) conference in Yokohama, Japan in July 2018. The aims of the conference were to appreciate the diversity of planning histories, to deepen mutual understanding among planning historians in the world, and to look into the world history of planning, with the common goal of making our cities more humane. First, this paper discusses the necessity and difficulty of mutual understanding between different planning cultures. Secondly, it traces the planning history of Japan focussing on connections with China and the western countries, and on specific features from ancient to modern times. Finally, it reviews the points put forth by world historians today and emphasizes the importance of the quest for transnational planning history on the basis of mutual understanding between different planning cultures.

Title: Planning for enabling: an analysis of Cedric Price’s proposal for Two Tree Island, 1971–1973
Abstract:
This paper analyses Cedric Price’s project to transform Two Tree Island, located in the Thames Estuary, into a leisure complex. The plan, drafted between 1971 and 1973 and which never materialized, was produced against a background of alternative planning theory discussions that were prevalent in Britain during the 1960s and the early 1970s. From a historical point of view, Two Tree Island is an illuminating example of the conceptual depth with which the notion of the environmental design was being used. Despite an undeniable lack of precision in the use of data and descriptors, the project is still of conceptual interest because of the way it defines the landscape based on the convergence of physical and cognitive approaches.

Title: The grid as algorithm for land use: a reappraisal of the 1811 Manhattan grid
Abstract:
Manhattan’s 1811 street grid defined the spatial framework for urbanization. Existing scholarship, however, has not empirically examined its role in determining land-use geography. By mid-nineteenth century, New York City had grown substantially into its street system, but had not yet instituted comprehensive zoning regulations. We explore interactions between the grid’s morphology and land-use placement on the street in a generally unregulated environment, comparing patterns in the city’s pre- and post-grid halves. Deploying new GIS data and methods, we complement existing interpretations showing that the grid guided Manhattan’s development towards mixed-use commercial and residential avenues with residential and industrial cross-streets. We demonstrate that one set of locational logics drove these patterns pre- and post-grid. The grid amplified the morphological parameters of land use, identified as street connectivity, length, and width. Connectivity, determined by block dimensions, constituted the most critical factor. Lastly, we suggest that our findings and methods on the interactions between street morphology and land use are relevant to other cities, both for historical research and contemporary planning practice.

Title: Producing space: post-war redevelopment as big business, Utrecht and Hannover 1962–1975
Abstract:
This contribution opens a new perspective on the politics of urban redevelopment in Dutch and German cities during the 1960s and early 1970s. More specifically, it examines the post-war expansion of Bredero, a Dutch private developer that forged public–private partnerships with the city councils of Utrecht and Hannover to get local urban redevelopment agendas of the ground. Within the period covered by this article, the political consensus was that the post-war economy, which was dominated by rising car ownership, business and consumerism, had to find its place and thrive in central urban areas. Developers such as Bredero were thought to dispose over the expertise and financial means to swiftly execute redevelopment schemes. Up until now, planning historians have largely neglected the role played by private developers in post-war urban redevelopment efforts. This contribution investigates how and why local administrators and private developers decided to work together in the first place, and how the expertise of Bredero in particular was translated into the development of Utrecht’s Hoog Catharijne and Hannover’s Raschplatz schemes. Through the innovate use of hitherto under-examined primary sources, this contribution sheds a new light on the allegedly recent phenomena of the internationalization and outsourcing of urban planning efforts.

Title: Planning of public housing in modern Tianjin (1928–1945)
Abstract:
European, American, and Japanese debates on public housing served as models for those in modern China, and Chinese scholars and professionals, with the support of the KMT (Kuomintang), developed public housing as a sign of innovation in both societal reform and building typology. Using the under-researched case of Tianjin's public housing during the so-called Nanjing Decade (1928–1937) and then again during the Japanese Occupation (1937–1945) as case studies, the paper first explores how journals, books, and foreign-trained Chinese scholars introduced the concept of public housing to China. It then examines five public housing projects that municipal authorities developed for Tianjin, two in the Nanjing Decade and three during the Japanese Occupation. Analysing the sites, architectural designs, and management rules of these projects, the paper argues that the projects in the Nanjing Decade (both planned and realized) mostly targeted poor families, serving to simultaneously solve housing problems, reform society, and police the poor; while the projects during the Japanese Occupation benefited high-income people or the Japanese, and did not play a role in the relief of the local poor, who suffered most from the housing shortage.

Title: From the Cold War to the warmed globe: planning, design-policy entrepreneurism, and the crises of nuclear weapons and climate change
Abstract:
Faced with two existential threats – nuclear war and climate change – planners have responded by proposing sweeping reforms for city-regions, often deploying the newfound rationales to re-package earlier ideas about ‘the good city’. This paper analyses how mid-twentieth-century planning discourses regarding Cold War urban dispersal in the USA might help us understand contemporary conversations about urban climate change adaptation. We apply Kingdon's Multiple Streams Analysis and his concept of policy entrepreneurs to show how planners frame problems and shape policy agendas. We propose a subtype of ‘design-policy entrepreneurs’ who use the spatial and visual tools of planning and design to advocate for preferred policies. By analysing the rhetoric and visual representations made by planners and designers from 1945 to 1965, we examine how they repurposed long-standing ideas about urban deconcentration into ‘dispersal for defence’ proposals. Such proposals for dispersing urban settlements into separated and ‘self-contained’ units received a dysfunctional partial acceptance: housing and transportation legislation embraced the dispersal part but resisted the complementary elements aimed at limiting damages from nuclear attack by concentrating development into distinct nodes. We conclude by asking how the perils of such partial policy-making success might play out on the terrain of climate change adaptation.

Title: Skopje Resurgent: the international confusions of post-earthquake planning, 1963–1967
Abstract:
In the period of the Cold War, architecture became a critical medium of knowledge transfer, facilitating the processes of modernization. The Cold War protagonists, the USSR and the USA, vied to gain the political allegiances of third world nations of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. This was done through development and aid programmes that offered to lift nations out of poverty, and thereby also deliver them into political commitment to one side or the other. The destruction of Skopje, capital of Macedonia, in 1963, along with the subsequent efforts to replan and rebuild the city, brought with it a significant disruption to the Cold War dynamic. For one thing, Skopje happened to sit within Yugoslavia, a non-aligned country. For another, the winner of the competition to rebuild Skopje was a Japanese, Kenzo Tange. Moreover, the rallying efforts of the United Nations to bring people and resources from around the world to the aid of Skopje managed to transcend much of the partisanship characteristic of international politics. This paper explores the actors, networks, and mechanisms that came together from both sides of the Cold War divide to deliver one of the most defining trans-national urban projects of the 1960s.

Title: European urban culture, Javier de Mesones-Cabello’s planning practice and its legacy in city of Valladolid
Abstract:
Javier de Mesones-Cabello was an influential and active planner of the 1960s and 1970s in Spain, who passed away in December, 2016. His professional career as a self-taught urban planner was extensively linked to his academic and institutional activities. These connections supported the establishment of relationships with prestigious professionals working in urban planning practice. In planning the 1969 masterplan for the city of Valladolid, in Spain, de Mesones-Cabello made several intellectual references to the Greek urban planner Doxiadis. This masterplan covers a relatively unknown example of directional city growth in a European context. My findings elucidate the extent to which de Mesones-Cabello was influenced by Doxiadis, and the circumstances in which these ideas have continued to dominate thinking about Valladolid's urban development.

Title: Showcasing Vällingby to the world: post-war suburban development, informational infrastructures, and the extrospective city
Abstract:
Vällingby – one of the first post-war suburbs in Stockholm – became a well-known and much visited development, a prominent place in the geographical imaginations of many planners and architects during the 1950s and 1960s. This article will consider the ways in which Vällingby was ‘showcased’ to planners and architects outside of Sweden during this period. It will demonstrate how this was achieved through three practices in particular: (1) the hosting of visitors to Vällingby; (2) the promotion of Vällingby by those governing and marketing the development; and (3) the reporting of the development in English language planning and architect journals. In so doing, the article will speak to the academic literature on policy mobilities and two important concepts within it: informational infrastructures and the extrospective city.

Title: Revisiting the role of architects in planning large-scale housing in the USSR: the birth of socialist residential districts in Tallinn, Estonia, 1957–1979
Abstract:
In Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union, housing estates are often associated with inhumane architecture and unwelcoming public space, an outcome that can be attributed to strict design requirements in a rigid centralized system. Due to the uniformity of residential housing produced during socialist times, both the design process and its master – the architect – are believed to have played only minor roles in shaping townscapes. This study, situated in the large housing estates of Tallinn, Estonia, challenges these assumptions using analyses of archival material (relating to planning procedures during state socialism) and articles in specialized magazines. The study also explains – through first-hand interviews with senior architects who were key players in building socialist cities – the relations between Soviet regulations and vital elements of the city-building process, including creativity, power, and artistry. Analysis of primary source materials highlights an oversimplification of socialist modernism, which suggests more nuanced explanations for town planning outcomes. Findings suggest that regulations issued in Moscow for Union of Soviet Socialist Republic-wide planning played a less important role than previously assumed in town planning outcomes in Estonia. International modernist city planning ideals, combined with local expertise, strongly influenced town planning practice in the Soviet ‘West’.

Title: The Portuguese railway in time and space – mapping phases of growth, stagnation, and decline (1845–2015)
Abstract:
This paper aims to analyse the development of the Portuguese railway in time and space, between 1845 and 2015. The development of the railway in mainland Portugal was a subject of interest to several stakeholders, including politicians, private investors, constructors, and the state itself. This article aims to explore what actors were involved in the development of the Portuguese railway, their respective goals and planning mechanisms. Focus is placed on the Portuguese state’s attempts to specifically shape the rail sector in its national infrastructure, while confronting it with the interests of the private initiative. By discussing the transformations seen in the urban and countryside spaces on which the railway network was built, this paper provides an overview of the effects that the railway had on the Portuguese territory and its urban areas. A comparative analysis of the railway system in the past and present reveals that the current layout of the Portuguese railway network does not differ greatly from that of the early twentieth century. Finally, it is shown that the history of the Portuguese railway coincided with different periods of significant socio-economic changes.

Title: Estonian urbanism 1935–1955: the Soviet-era implementation of pre-war ambitions
Abstract:
Estonian 1940s–1950s town planning practices show that Stalinist principles were in line with those of Estonian architects during the 1930s pre-war, independence period. However, between 1944 and 1955, within the context of the Soviet regime’s occupation, urban planning was faced with rigid ideological constraints. After the Second World War, Estonian architects were forced to abandon projects in historical city centres, which focused on maintaining local natural conditions and cultural heritage, as well as using local materials. Some existing town centres, such as in Tallinn, Narva, and Pärnu, were reconstructed after suffering damage in the war, as well as for ideological reasons. Yet, during this time period, most efforts were directed towards building new industrial towns in East Estonia that exemplified a Stalinist utopia; this also presented the Soviet regime with an opportunity to exploit local mineral resources.

Title: Transfers and exchanges: the role of Léon Jaussely from a transnational perspective
Abstract:
Léon Jaussely (1875–1932) was considered by his contemporaries as a forerunner and one of the most outstanding French planners of his time. He had a remarkable professional career in France and took part in several important international planning competitions. Jaussely’s work, in many respects, is central to better comprehend both the evolution of urban planning and planner’s exchanges at the beginning of the twentieth century. However, his significant role can only be fully understood from a transnational perspective. This paper aims, first, to analyse Jaussely’s distinctive approach to cities and urban planning. Secondly, it intends to place his ideas within the transnational debate and examine his connections with British, American, and German planning. His role as a passeur culturel in the diffusion and adaptation of planning international principles in France is then discussed, showing how this study can contribute greatly to the research on cross-national exchanges and the transnational circulation of planning models at the beginning of the twentieth century. Finally, insights on Jaussely and the French town planning movement can provide a deeper understanding about historical alternatives to modernist architecture, and therefore highlight continuities between nineteenth and twentieth century practices.

Title: The first Filipino City Beautiful plans
Abstract:
Narratives of the City Beautiful in the Philippines have a tendency to adhere to a particular historiographical form: they commence with the early years of American colonial rule and Daniel Burnham’s grand schemes of 1905 for Manila and Baguio, then they provide reference to William E. Parsons’ city plans for Cebu and Zamboanga before fleetingly noting Juan Arellano’s Capitol complexes or his 1930 Iloilo Plan. To bring such historical accounts to a conclusion characteristically discussion of the Commonwealth Era (1935–1942, 1945–1946), and the development of Quezon City, are presented. Yet these histories of city planning in the Philippines during the American colonial period (1898–1946) essentially offer no detailed insight into the projects composed by Filipinos. Questions that include ‘How many plans did Filipinos compose?’, ‘Who designed them?’, and ‘What was their form?’ are consequently left unanswered.

Title: The historical rise and fall of community facility provision standards in the metropolitan planning of Melbourne
Abstract:
Underpinning strategic metropolitan planning is a host of planning standards that deal with the design and regulation of the built environment. This paper is particularly interested in identifying to what extent planning standards dealing with the provision of public open space had been used in strategic metropolitan plans for the city of Melbourne, Australia. Using a historical perspective, this paper traces the historical adoption and adaption of community facility delivery standards over a 100-year period, via the analysis of several metropolitan plans of Melbourne. Their initial adoption and then progressive demise is attributed to a variety of factors including shifts in planning practise, regional politics and the fluctuating economic fortunes of Melbourne since the mid-1970s. This city-specific example is considered to be unique not only because it captures the shifts that had taken place in the metropolitan planning of Melbourne but it also focuses upon the provision of community facilities which remains a much neglected feature of historic metropolitan strategic planning.

Title: Hans Blumenfeld: a moderate defence of expertise in the controversial 1960s
Abstract:
Despite an impressive international career, the German city planner Hans Blumenfeld remains largely unknown. In The Transatlantic Collapse of Urban Renewal, Christopher Klemek depicts him as an apologist of authoritarian and technocratic urban renewal. This statement is puzzling because many post-war planners saw him as a humble left-wing progressive. Drawing from a close analysis of the writings and actions of Blumenfeld, in particular his work in Canada, this article shows that he was far from being an uncritical apologist of urban renewal in North America. He was always very sceptical but, as opposed to Jane Jacobs, he did not think that modernist urban planning had it all wrong. He always thought that progress came not only from citizens’ participation, but also principally from science and expertise. For that reason, Blumenfeld tried, on the one hand, to transform the language of city planning to answer criticism from citizens and activists, and, on the other, to retain the expertise to proceed from plan-making to a communication-process, as some professionals were beginning to advocate at the time.

Title: Drawing white elephants in Africa? Re-contextualizing Ernst May’s Kampala plans in relation to the fraught political realities of late-colonial rule
Abstract:
In 1945/1946, the Colonial Administration in Uganda commissioned Ernst May – planner of Das Neue Frankfurt (1926–1930) – to design the Kampala Extension Scheme and the smaller Wandegeya Development Scheme. The past decade has seen increasing scholarly interest in the neglected ‘African’ episode of Mays planning oeuvre, but this literature has not explicitly examined how May’s planning articulated with the fraught political realities of late-colonial rule. Utilizing previously undocumented archive material and a theoretical frame informed by governmentality studies, this paper examines these articulations, particularly those relating to tensions and contradictions in Colonial government arising from the would-be turning-point from indirect rule to a bio-political rationality of development and welfare. It is shown that while May’s submitted plans spoke directly to the tropes of urban improvement, African detribalization and labour stabilization, which informed the ‘turning point’ in colonial policy, May’s elaborate socio-spatial interventions and the style in which these enunciated racial difference proved unpalatable to a colonial administration stifled by the rationality of the economic domain of government, by constraints on how difference could be enunciated and by African urban politics.

Title: The end of cities: Erwin Anton Gutkind and the inevitability of decentralization and dispersal
Abstract:
During a career that spanned six decades, the architect, planner and historian Erwin Anton Gutkind consistently argued for the abandonment of the concept of the city and for the emergence of a new form of environmental organization where communities lived in settlements that did not stand in a hierarchical relationship to one another. Such an ‘expanding environment’, to be achieved through the decentralization and dispersal of settlements and people, would allow for a rejuvenation of the relationship between individuals, communities and their environment and herald the beginning of a new post-urban era in human history. To Gutkind, this new era was not only desirable but inevitable, as it aligned with contemporary understandings of the nature of an expanding universe. This article aims to provide an overview of Gutkind’s little-known work in planning on decentralization, dispersal and the end of cities. It will argue that, even though many of Gutkind’s utopian ideas concurred with those of his contemporaries, the way in which he combined them into a complex argument, drawing on his practical experiences and various disciplinary perspectives, was truly his own and remains worthy of consideration in a time of continued interest in the growth, ‘liveability’ and sustainability of cities.

Title: Between modernization and identity: colonial social housing as a specific theoretico-practical corpus of colonial architecture – the case of Tetouan (Morocco, 1912–1956)
Abstract:
From the beginning of Spain's occupation of northern Morocco (1912–1956), the urban planning of the colonial government gave rise to an urban periphery of slums and squatter settlements outside the planned city. Aware of its responsibility, the Spanish colonial government developed a social housing policy which aimed to ensure decent housing for all families, while acting as propaganda that symbolized the modernization promoted by the colonial power. The colonial housing was reserved for Spanish and Moroccan officials and for families unable to access decent housing within the private system. In the case of Spain, technically and financially limited as a colonial power, this action cannot be regarded as a comprehensive state policy responding to all real social needs. Nevertheless, it did constitute a major theoretical and practical advancement in thinking about the modernization of Moroccan housing, and a corpus of the colonial architecture in and of itself. This was a unique development when compared with that of other colonies, particularly French Morocco, with its noticeably smaller and less rational development. In order to analyse the colonial social housing in northern Morocco, the case chosen is that of Tetouan, the political and economic capital.

Title: Conceptualizing the pedestrian mall in post-war North America and understanding its transatlantic transfer through the work and influence of Victor Gruen
Abstract:
Pedestrianization was an established concept among modernist architects and planners long before the first post-war pedestrian malls were built in North American downtowns. Post-war pedestrian-oriented suburban shopping malls, such as Northland near Detroit, MI and Northgate in Seattle, WA, linked retail success to the pedestrian shopping experience. This propelled the existing but then-untested assumption that planning downtowns to mimic suburban shopping centres by pedestrianizing main streets would revitalize downtown retail districts. Despite the modern origins of the pedestrianization concept, the rhetorical cues of post-war architects and planners in North America mask its modern roots and employ nostalgic imagery of pre-industrial European urbanism, implying European origin of the concept. Although imagery of European charm became a means of packaging modernist ideas of pedestrianization, the design proposals rarely referenced or replicated actual European precedents. Furthermore, while much research implies a linear transfer of pedestrianization ideas from Europe to North America, professionals in Europe also looked to North American shopping malls and pedestrian streets for guidance in addressing their own challenges with accommodating automobiles in downtowns.

Title: Town planning and socialist realism: new Academic District in Wroclaw (Poland) – unfinished projects from the 1950s
Abstract:
Socialist Realism was the standard method in Polish architectural design and urban planning between 1949 and 1956. This was a special period in Polish history – a time of intensive post-war reconstruction, introduction of a planned economy, and creation of a new political and social order. Socialist Realism was undoubtedly a ‘political style’, a tool for communist propaganda. Yet, in urban planning, apart from its excessive monumentality and axial symmetry, it was mostly dominated by universal models. These stemmed from the requirements to create clear compositional systems, use urban areas rationally, distribute housing, industry and commerce complexes functionally, and to pay attention to proper hygiene. Strong emphasis was also placed on the need to build new ‘centrally located social complexes that would dominate the space’ in historic cities, one of which is discussed in this article. The new Academic District was a visionary concept and attempts were made to bring it to life in Wroclaw – the largest city in the so-called Recovered Territories that became part of Poland after the Second World War. Due to the scale of the development, its estimated cost, and the political changes that took place in Poland in 1956, only a small part of the new district was built.

Title: Planning strategies for a resilient urban fringe in three medium-sized Spanish cities
Abstract:
The fringes between urban areas and their surrounding territory usually concentrate strains of transformation and urban growth. Equally, planning strategies that promote the adaptation of urban development to the identity of territory contribute to the resilience of these urban fringes. This paper aims to illustrate this idea through the analysis of three of Spain’s inland medium-sized cities during the period of intense urban growth that started in the eighties and concluded in 2008. The cases of Vitoria, Zaragoza, and Valladolid clearly show the negative consequences of an expansive urban model in their urban fringes, but also the alternatives that slowly emerged over this period. While the main urban planning tools enabled an unsustainable urban expansion, other planning proposals introduced an alternative approach that mitigated the effects of the real estate boom and have paved the way towards a better future: Vitoria with its green infrastructure, Zaragoza with its integrated development effort that took advantage of an International Exhibition and Valladolid with its coordinated planning. These different tools have a key feature in common: a deep comprehension of their territories as the strongest foundation for conducting urban development in more sustainable ways.

Title: What’s in a cover image? How to depict planning history
Abstract:
A book’s cover is frequently the first visual element of a book that a reader encounters in a library, bookshop, or—most likely now—on the Internet. Combining the publisher’s usually predetermined logo, typography and layout with an image provided by the volume editor or author, the cover aims to convey multiple meanings. These meanings are particularly important in a field such as planning history, where visuals of the associated disciplines play an important role. Spatial planning and urban design convey multi-faceted ideas through masterplans that are often illustrated with memorable images. Planning history explores these images as part of its approach and needs to pay attention to the ways in which images convey meaning. Taking the example of the selection of the cover image for the Routledge Handbook of Planning History, the article presents how five different types of images addressed specific approaches of the handbook by showcasing cross-cultural exchange, identifying key words and terms of planning history, and using comic strips, games or art work as a means of translating the multiple themes of the book. This short reflective analysis concludes by asking for more investigation of the role of images as part of the changing role of planning in society and the built environment.

Title: Showcase and window to the world: East German architecture abroad 1949–1990
Abstract:
For decades, German Democratic Republic (GDR) architecture was seen as parochial and dictated by the Soviets, yet increasing scholarly interest has generated a picture of debates and specific practices that were embedded in the global process of expansion and crisis of Modernism. Meanwhile, and influenced by the East-West conflict, competing concepts of modernization and national identity arose in the so-called Third World, initiating multifarious cultural transfer processes. This article analyses to what extent the architects from the GDR – a country whose building practice was increasingly shaped by the principles of industrial prefabrication – have played a part in regional contexts and construction methods. It also asks what their role was in international organizations such as Union Internationale des Architects and UNESCO, which promoted their practical engagement abroad. The subject raises issues of possible freedom of action in creative design and fusion processes, but also of bureaucratic constrictions and international relationships ending in unexpected conflicts. The examples outline the field of activities that stretches from pure blueprint delivery for a memorial competition to long-standing work on location when planning whole neighbourhoods. Furthermore, the article examines how the challenges of international planning impacted building culture within the GDR itself.

Title: Children’s Parks in Lisbon’s urban spaces: a childhood education and assistance programme during the Portuguese dictatorial regime (1933–1974)
Abstract:
This article deals with how a female member of the elite from the period of the Portuguese dictatorial regime (1933–1974) used Lisbon’s gardens to implement a free childhood education and assistance programme for poor children – the Children’s Parks programme. The Children’s Parks were located in some of Lisbon’s most attractive gardens, housed in pavilions that were directly connected to outdoor spaces. These spaces responded to the educational purposes of the programme, based on the importance of leisure and play activities in outdoor spaces and linked to children’s moral, social, and physical development. In considering the living conditions experienced by children within the context of the Portuguese dictatorship, and by highlighting the way in which these were reflected at the level of architecture and the urban space, the paper seeks to contribute towards an understanding of the place of the child in the history of architecture and urbanism. Besides reflecting the social and educational identity of the project, the urban and architectural settings of the programme were crucial for its success. The interpretation of this case provides a basis for reflecting on the historical and current significance of children’s spaces, and for examining a number of social, educational, architectural, and urban questions.

Title: When the railway reached Istanbul: the making of Sirkeci terminus, 1870–1888
Abstract:
Since its establishment as a capital city, the historical topography of Istanbul has witnessed significant changes, created not only by devastating earthquakes and fires, but also by the implementation of large-scale imperial projects. In the existing literature, the transformation of Istanbul’s urban area in the nineteenth century has largely explored the topics of new urban regulations, institutions and their implication after the Tanzimat (reform) decree of 1839. This article aims to explore a lesser-known dimension of nineteenth-century developments of the city: the extension of the railway into the heart of Istanbul’s historical peninsula, and the spatial change around the Sirkeci district due to the physical expansion of the terminus area. The construction of a larger terminus (inaugurated in 1890) is relatively well documented in architectural history, yet developments prior to this monumental construction have been less explored so far. Thus, this article also aims to investigate the project’s development and implementation phases in the second half of the nineteenth century, when the city witnessed continuous urban reformation processes by focusing on the intertwined relations of different agents in the urban space.

Title: An early engagement with town planning: Māori and the Commission to inquire and report upon the necessity or advisability of establishing model villages on the sites of the present villages of Ohinemutu and Whakarewarewa in 1926
Abstract:
The history of state-sanctioned planning is generally urban and commences in the early twentieth century. It is a history in which Indigenous people remain relatively invisible until the 1980s. By the 1920s, New Zealand’s Indigenous people, Māori, despite having lost much of their land, remained a visible presence in society. In Rotorua, the traditional Māori villages of Ohinemutu and Whakarewarewa were central to the tourism industry, and were sites of important economic activity for Ngati Whakaue and Tūhourangi. In 1926, Ngati Whakaue and Tūhourangi took an active part in a Commission of Inquiry into the housing in their villages, in an attempt to improve their liveability. The Commission sought to apply town planning principles to their work at a time when town planning legislation had only recently been introduced. This appears to be an early involvement of Indigenous people with town planning and an important part of New Zealand’s planning history.

Title: ‘Resistance was futile!’ Cycling’s discourses of resistance to UK automobile modernism 1950–1970
Abstract:
This paper investigates the place of utility cycling (cycling as a means of transport rather than as a sport or leisure activity) under urban modernism in the UK. In many western contexts the dominant feature of urban modernism was its emphasis on accommodating private vehicles to the neglect of other forms of mobility. The result was the production of a ‘car-system’ with significant change to urban and rural environments. This paper assesses resistance to what we term ‘automobile modernism’ during the high watermark of its planning and implementation (1950–1970), using the UK Cyclists’ Touring Club (now known as Cycling UK) archive. We make three contributions. First, and primarily, we highlight how cycling advocacy contested automobile modernism’s claim that cycling was ‘outmoded’. In so doing we note significant continuity in policy debates and political advocacy regarding cycling’s place in the road environment around issues such as segregation from motor vehicles. Contemporary attempts to promote cycling, as well as a wider urban sustainability agenda, are heavily influenced by this history. Second, we highlight a commonality between cycling and other resistance to automobile modernism in terms of rural and urban landscape impacts. Third, we highlight how the CTC ‘professionalized’ its advocacy to resist automobile modernism.

Title: The 1923 Belgrade Master Plan – historic town modernization
Abstract:
The paper analyses the 1923 Belgrade Master Plan's preparation and implementation process, a significant moment in Belgrade's political and urban history when, after the First World War, the city lost its centuries-long border position, becoming the capital of a newly established extended country, the Kingdom SHS, later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The goal of government and city authorities was to create a representative national capital and overcome the city's existential and functional problems. Crucial to the process was the Association of Serbian Architects and Engineers’ organization of an international competition in 1921–1922. Twenty-two projects were submitted, from Vienna, Paris, Budapest, Berlin, Zurich, Prague, etc. First prize was not awarded, but 18 were rewarded and purchased. These represented the basis for creating a final plan, supervised by G. P. Kovalevsky. The 1923 Master Plan introduced very innovative and modern approaches to solving the city's problems and improving residential areas, traffic, and greenery. The paper discusses the plan's realization, its extensive changes and partial implementation, which greatly influenced later city development. Despite obstacles, the plan initiated some important and progressive ideas whose impact was vital for the functional transformation of the city and its realization represents Belgrade's modern urban heritage.

Title: Report on inaugural workshop RSA ReHi-Network ‘Interdisciplinary connections between history & regional studies’
Abstract:
The RSA Research Network on Regional Economic and Policy History (ReHi) aims to investigate the role of the historic perspective on regional studies through a series of events. During the inaugural two-day workshop, held in London in April 2017, the participants highlighted historical methodologies and approaches that establish a common thread in the various regional disciplines. They defined interdisciplinary connections that need to be addressed to overcome the discontinuous dialogue among researchers of regional studies and history. The research papers that were presented at the conference focused on improving methodologies, analysing economic strategies, developing techniques, and understanding policy development. The workshop aimed at establishing the foundation for a common research framework to improve the scientific debate and provide impact on regional policy regulations.

Title: Energy landscape: Los Angeles Harbor and the establishment of oil-based capitalism in Southern California, 1871–1930
Abstract:
In the first three decades of the twentieth century, the Los Angeles metropolitan area emerged as the fastest growing urban–industrial economy on the Pacific Coast. This was a significant achievement for a city without a natural harbour. Despite formidable barriers presented by physical geography, the gradual development of a deep-water harbour in Los Angeles was fundamental to the emergence of oil-based capitalism in Southern California. In the first three decades of the twentieth century, under the municipal governance of a Board of Harbor Commissioners, private oil companies developed Los Angeles Harbor into a modern transhipment facility comprising infrastructures and technologies dedicated to the efficient transportation, storage, and refining of petroleum and petroleum-based products. From this perspective, Los Angeles Harbor needs to be understood as a long-term, fixed-capital investment into oil-based energy as fuel for industry and transportation. As a transhipment facility, Los Angeles Harbor also functioned as a critical outlet for surplus energy after the discovery of several large fields in the Los Angeles Basin in the early 1920s. By focusing on a particular built landscape, this paper aims to contribute insight into how geographies of fixed-capital investment play a role in the regional dynamics of energy transition and establishment.

Title: A comparison of tenurial change and privatization in two Garden City communities: Sunnyside Gardens, New York City and Garbatella, Rome
Abstract:
The paper problematizes public housing privatization. It compares the trajectory of tenure change in two garden communities – Garbatella, Rome and Sunnyside Gardens, New York City – which privileged public and private ownership, respectively. The cases are currently dealing with tenure change. Sunnyside experienced the enclosure of gardens and citizens’ attempt to reclaim what was held in common in order to bring back the communal spaces. Garbatella is a place where growth over time of rights, powers, immunities, and privileges is manifested in long-lasting processes of appropriation of public housing goods. Despite their different stories, Sunnyside helps to problematize the process of public housing privatization in Garbatella which is further complicated by tenure complexity, State-induced rent gap and institutional displacement. The analysis of tenure change, done by using the ‘incidents of ownership’ notion developed by Marcuse, contributes to the understanding of what public housing privatization means in social and spatial terms. Housing privatization leads to an erosion of the in-between space where individual and collective aspiration meet as a precondition for the reproduction of what is held in common: spatial goods such as open spaces and housing – a fundamental aspect of our citizenship.

Title: Rationalizing the greater city. The 1919 international competition for Greater Paris
Abstract:
The 1919 Greater Paris competition was the first attempt at metropolitan planning in France. Paris was then the fourth largest city in the world. As in other metropolises, congestion and hazardous urban growth were its main problems. The need of planning was evident. However, the long-term city–suburb conflict, the legal constraints, and the political divergences hindered the realization of a comprehensive plan. In this context, an international competition was launched. The prize-winner was the French architect Léon Jaussely. Although Greater Paris competition did not result in a comprehensive plan straightaway, it constitutes a turning point in Paris’s planning history. Through research on unpublished sources preserved in different Parisian archives, this paper aims firstly to reconstruct the process of the competition. The thorough reports of the jury offer an entirely new approach to the study of this kind of competition, since they allow us to comprehend the preoccupations of the administrations in charge. Secondly, it intends to examine the projects, connecting their solutions with international models and debates. It focuses on those concerning the comprehensive plan and particularly on Jaussely’s awarded project. Finally, the long-term influence of the competition will be discussed and regarded within the international context.

Title: Pan-American routes: a continental planning journey between reformism and the cultural Cold War
Abstract:
This article proposes a framework for the relationship between Latin American countries and the USA in the field of urban and regional culture during a particularly rich period from the mid-1930s to the mid-1970s – a period of maximum global expansion of a North American planning style as well as the emergence of a network of Latin American urban thinking in direct connection with this style and with a number of North and Pan-American institutions. This relationship is thought of as a metaphoric back-and-forth journey between the north and south – a process of movement and transmigration of ideas, people, and institutions that can be seen schematically as a cycle with two phases. The first one of expansion of new forms of Anglo-American urban thinking in the region (through the ideas of modernization and development), went from the late-1930s to the mid-1960s. The second phase, one of retraction, rejection, and pursuit of alternative paradigms in Latin American thought (replacing development with dependency), went from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s in a process of increasing radicalization. Within this general picture, the article tries to underline the paradoxical character of the relations between the USA and Latin America, and the way in which the field of urban culture can illuminate this in new ways.

Title: Echoes of Empire: British Mandate planning in Palestine and its influence in the West Bank today
Abstract:
Almost 70 years after Great Britain gave up its Palestine Mandate, Regional Plans prepared under the Mandate still survive – as live statutory documents that are used to justify planning decisions. Behind them lies a story of how planning is unavoidably tied up with land, with rights, and with power. This article outlines the history of the making of these Plans, explores what the planners of the Mandate epoch thought they were doing, shows how the Plans have been used ever since, and provides an update in the light of a recent UN Habitat Mission to study the planning system under the Israeli occupation. The Plans were the output from the activity of the Mandate government’s ‘Town Planning Adviser’ in the late 1930s and the 1940s – during the period of both the Second World War and the worsening Jewish/Arab violence that led to war in 1947. It was very much a case of the ‘export’ of town planning from urban and industrial Britain to a society which was primarily rural. The Mandate Plans continue to be used in the formal process by the occupation authorities, but selectively: a selectivity which, unfortunately, the Mandate Plans enable by their flexibility. This bites directly on how Palestinians in the West Bank live – ‘the history in the present’.

Title: Modernist housing estates in European cities of the Western and Eastern Blocs
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to compare and contrast modernist housing projects in Western and Eastern Blocs built in the period of accelerated urban growth that took place mainly in the 1960s and 1970s. The obvious starting point is that cities in the Eastern Bloc were different from Western cities because of the distinct nature of their urban policies, the centrally planned economy, the absence of a free land market, the impact of industrialization on building construction, etc. However, there are many concepts in urban planning and design, as well as urban processes and urban forms, shared by both ideological systems and that can be clearly recognized in housing estates from that period.This paper offers a comparative perspective of the nature of some of those modern Housing Estates built on both sides of the Iron Curtain such as Grands Ensembles in France, Großsiedlungen in Germany, Polígonos de viviendas in Spain, or Socialist Housing Estates equivalents in Eastern Bloc countries. The goal is to understand how mass housing forms were related to the modernist international urban culture of the Athens Charter and what was the role of urban design in the significant loss of environmental quality appreciable either in the West or in the East in those years of accelerated urban growth almost everywhere in Europe.

Title: ‘The field of grain is gone; It's now a Tesco Superstore’: representations of ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ within historical and contemporary discourses opposing urban expansion in England
Abstract:
Ideas about the difference between rural and urban areas are woven into the fabric of English society. This paper asks how two different campaigns against urban expansion and rural homebuilding in England – one interwar and one more contemporary (related to the production of the ‘National Planning Policy Framework’ document) – represent the difference between ‘rural’ and ‘urban’ and how they use these representations to justify and naturalize their arguments. Utilizing interpretive textual analysis to compare the two periods, we show that, whilst planning has undergone significant paradigm shifts during the period between the two campaigns, in both archives a dominant ‘rural idyll’ is (re)produced and reinforced through the representational themes of beauty, nature, purity, an elite educated class, and a traditional social order. This is strongly contrasted to the representation of the ‘urban sphere’ as an unnatural, ugly, modern, and socially fragmented dystopia. ‘Urban’ areas are therefore constructed as the constitutive ‘Other’ to the rural idyll. In this way, the apparently natural urban characteristics associated with built-up areas are represented as ‘out of place’ within the rural sphere. These representations work to justify the argument that ‘development’ is a threat to the intrinsic characteristics of the countryside and should not be allowed to take place. This rural idyll/urban dystopia binary is argued to continue to have an important influence on shaping policy debate.

Title: Flora Crockett Stephenson (1914–1979): A life and professional partnership in planning
Abstract:
This article contributes to the growing literature on women's contributions to planning, especially in the UK, the USA, and Australia, and to research into the phenomenon of life partners who work together professionally. The subject is Flora Crockett Stephenson (1914–1979), the first woman to complete the Master in City Planning degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Presented as a biographical exposé, the discussion introduces Flora's background and reveals her largely unrecorded contributions as the life and professional partner of British architect-planner Gordon Stephenson (1908–1997), already the subject of several academic studies.

Title: A short history of the Chinese Central Business District
Abstract:
The Central Business District (CBD) is one of the great governmental projects of Chinese cities in the early twenty-first century. In preparation for transition to an information-based economy and to accelerate such transition, major cities have sponsored the plans and infrastructure as well as some of the buildings of these new central places, in locations far removed from the heretofore central city. Over the 15 years of concerted building, there have been several distinct phases, as cities evaluated the previous effort and responded to new exigencies. These project phases can be distinguished by location and intention and in certain instances by formal expression. The late Modernist architecture of these places, punctuated with iconic structures and vast, representational open spaces, symbolize the national drive towards a globalized modernity. CBDs mark the latest generation of urban plans in hundreds of Chinese cities, although there is little doubt that Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen will remain the largest and most advanced. This article recounts the brief history of the emergence of the Chinese CBD in those first four cases, why new phases of development were deemed necessary, and how these new efforts can be distinguished in terms of internal characteristics and economic role.

Title: Refashioning urban space in postwar Toronto: the Wood-Wellesley redevelopment area, 1952–1957
Abstract:
This paper considers the creation and the subsequent meaning of ‘redevelopment areas’ in Toronto in the 1950s. The city passed a bylaw in 1952 that defined blighted areas as suitable for redevelopment. One of these areas was the downtown district that runs between Wood and Wellesley streets. The history of the Wood-Wellesley redevelopment area between 1952 and 1957 was important in several ways: it built on but differed from similar activity in the USA; it discursively reflected the needs of the city to refashion itself as a modern landscape; it provided the city with the tools to turn planning ideas into action; and it gave developers the forum by which they could push for specific areas of the city to be opened up for investment. Politically calculated and heavily contested visions of urban space, redevelopment areas such as Wood-Wellesley were used by the state and developers to physically reconstruct Toronto’s downtown area for private capital, to create a new modernist landscape, and to reproduce new and to reinforce existing social inequalities.

Title: British colonial civic improvement in the early twentieth century: E. P. Richards in Madras, Calcutta, and Singapore
Abstract:
E. P. Richards’ Calcutta report of 1914 has been reprinted as a key text in planning history, but little is known of the man himself, compared with other planners active in the British colonies during the early twentieth century such as Geddes and Reade. This article seeks to rescue Richards from obscurity, and position him in the context of the new town planning movement in the first quarter of the twentieth century. A basic narrative of Richards’ career, taken mainly from his membership records and obituary at the Institute of Civil Engineers’ headquarters in London, covers his key periods with the Derwent Valley Water Board (working on the Birchinlee model village) and the Calcutta and Singapore Improvement Trusts between 1901 and 1924.

Title: Planning Belgian Congo’s network of medical infrastructure: type-plans as tools to construct a medical model-colony, 1949–1959
Abstract:
Throughout the 1950s, the Belgian colonial government constructed a vast network of hospital infrastructure as part of its Ten-Year Plan, a colony-wide socio-economic scheme emblematic for the era of ‘welfare colonialism.’ This network played a key role in Belgian colonialism, by providing healthcare, but also by boosting labour productivity, facilitating state presence and control, and by advertising Congo as a medical model-colony. In this article, we unpack the extensive administrative apparatus that was necessary to buttress this ambitious building programme, and we highlight type-plans as crucial government tools to construct such a vast network of healthcare infrastructure. At first glance, the use of type-plans confirms classic characterizations of the Belgian colonial government as an omnipotent and technocratic state apparatus that implemented large, top-down government plans through authoritative methods, often discarding local realities. However, tracing hospital construction on the ground reveals that type-plans did not function as immutable models, but rather as modular blueprints that allowed local administrations to adapt hospitals to local needs and contingencies. As such, our article illustrates how, facilitated by surprisingly flexible type-plans, everyday colonial policymaking in Belgian Congo was, contrary to the still dominant discourse, deeply reliant on the agency and aptitude of local officials.

Title: The urban grid and entangled planning cultures in Senegal
Abstract:
In Western (Eurocentric) research traditions of urban and planning histories, sub-Saharan Africa is generally denied an urban past, an urban settlement design culture, and especially an indigenous practice of grid planning. It is against this historiographic background that indigenous grid pattern settlements in Senegal are analysed, with relation to the gridded tradition of colonial settlement design. In light of both cultural sensitivities inherited in African studies and the diffusionist paradigm which seeks a supposed singular ‘origin’ for the grid plan – it is demonstrated that urban grid planning emerges independently in Senegal, before European colonization. In shifting the discussion from morphological essentialism regarding the genealogy of the grid towards a more interactive and processual approach of ‘entangled histories’, this article also provides insights into the dynamic criss-crossings between top-down and bottom-up cultures of urban planning. This Western-cum-indigenous formalistic entanglement is exemplified by analysing how such important contemporary Senegalese cities as Dakar, Touba, and Diourbel have been built. On the methodological level, we utilize a variety of secondary and primary sources, including archival material, an analysis of recent maps, satellite imagery, and direct observation.

Title: Sanitizing Jakarta: decolonizing planning and kampung imaginary
Abstract:
This article offers a critical view of the water and sanitation sector within the broader trajectory of Jakarta’s spatial development and planning. Its territorial focus is on kampungs and it traces their historical journey from the periphery of the colonial city – Batavia and its modern planning domain – to the centre of the post-independence planning regime. ‘Kampung’ is an indigenous term for rural-agricultural settlements. In the colonial period, it was used to label non-European and non-Chinese settlements in and around the city. Colonial modernity created certain stigmatizations: kampungs came to be seen as undisciplined and insanitary communities, sources of insurgency and threats to public health. But the kampung realm was also (re)produced through practices of segregation within the colonial planning system. The imaginaries of colonial modernity linger on within today’s planning practices, resulting in a persistent failure to improve the environmental health of kampungs and the city as a whole. Postcolonial kampungs remain as a cosmopolitan enclave open to different cultures and socio-political contestations. The article argues that, given the kampung’s resilience in varying socio-ecological conditions, urban kampungs should be seen not as a problem, but as an opportunity for new planning approaches.

Title: Integrating urban and port planning policies in a sustainable perspective: the case study of Naples historic harbour area
Abstract:
This paper explores the case of the historic harbour area of Naples, considered highly significant, due to its physical and cultural characteristics, with the aim of reflecting on the contemporary need for building renewed and synergic city–port relations in a sustainable perspective. Focusing on the physical and functional city–port integration, the study investigates Naples harbour planning policy between twentieth and twenty-first centuries in order to identify the limitations of older instruments and to exam the current proposal, finally suggesting perspectives for the future. The analysis highlights the fact that, in the port of Naples, with a landlord governance, the main obstacles to a more inclusive planning policy have been related to land use conflict between on one hand the public interest of the Port Authority and Municipality and the private interest of port operators on the other. In conclusion, the need for city–port plan integration is outlined as a central planning issue so as to combine the economic development of the harbour with social, cultural and ecological themes and to overcome the conflicts between the different actors involved in the complex planning process.

Title: The 1968 Tehran master plan and the politics of planning development in Iran (1945–1979)
Abstract:
This paper traces the relationship between state development policies and planning Tehran’s urban development from 1945 until the 1979 Islamic Revolution. It shows how the geopolitical context of the Cold War, and the political agendas of multilateral and bilateral development agencies (i.e. the World Bank and the Ford Foundation), together with the specific circumstances of the national modernization of Iran, were decisive in shaping the Iranian planning administration and the emergence of a comprehensive master planning approach. Moreover, this study demonstrates the critical role of the Iranian technocratic elite and professional middle class in establishing planning institutions and advocating for a vision of progress and development. The focus here is on the formation of the ‘Plan Organization’ as the first modern planning institution in Iran, and the ways in which this institution played a key role in shaping Iranian expert culture and urban planning practices. By examining the links between national development policies and urban planning, this paper presents how comprehensive master planning emerged as the preferred model for the planning and development of Iranian cities. The focus here is on the design and implementation of Tehran’s 1968 Comprehensive Master Plan.

Title: Futurescapes of urban regeneration: ten years of design for the unfolding urban legacy of London’s Olympic Games, 2008–2018
Abstract:
Much of the literature on the urban legacy of the 2012 Olympics Games emerging in recent years has emphasized the form that development has taken and the ways in which this aligns (or not) with specific promises made in terms of regeneration before the Games. Though plenty of discussion of planning procedure has occurred in this context, less emphasis has been placed on how the process, rather than the products, of urban change has been envisioned through legacy planning and urban design, and the significance of this for regeneration. Given that London’s much-heralded ‘regeneration legacy’ was, from the early days of the Olympic bid, portrayed as a long-term process aimed at addressing historical issues of socio-economic disparity in East London, and that planning and urban design would play key roles in anticipating it, this contribution to the literature is timely. The paper focuses on the period from 2008 to 2018, beginning with the launch of the what was called the Legacy Masterplan Framework. Drawing on empirical analysis of documents describing the main stages of legacy planning and design between these years, it then examines how regeneration as a ‘futurescape’ encompassing numerous aspects of timing and temporality has been anticipated, planned and evolved.

Title: The ‘valley of ashes’ and the ‘fresh green breast’: metaphors from The Great Gatsby in planning New York
Abstract:
Visions in planning of what a city could or should be tend to be constructed around metaphors, rhetorical tropes that crystalize the image of a preferable future city. Such metaphorizations are never innocent: they draw on pre-existing cultural narratives and activate particular frames of expectation. This article examines two metaphors used in the planning of New York City, and its shores, in particular: the spectre of the ‘valley of ashes’ and the dream of the ‘fresh green breast’. These metaphors, taken from F. Scott Fizgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby (1925), appear time and again in the planning and thinking of the New York shoreline, from Robert Moses’s plans for Flushing Meadow to Major Bloomberg’s waterfront development and Eric Sanderson’s vision of a 2406 New York in Mannahatta (2006). This article examines how the metaphors of the ‘valley of ashes’ and the ‘fresh green breast’ have been adapted throughout decades of planning New York City to accommodate changing relationships, conflicts and ideals, always infused by a pastoral undercurrent that is already questioned in Fitzgerald’s novel.

Title: The tribulations of Walter Burley Griffin’s final Australian plan: Milleara as ‘the garden city of the future’ 1925–1965
Abstract:
The Chicago architect/planner Walter Burley Griffin (1876–1937) is known world-wide for his plan for Canberra, Australia’s national capital. Working with his life and professional partner Marion Mahony, he was also responsible for a series of suburban and smaller town schemes in the US and Australia from 1913 until the late 1920s. Most of his Australian designs were embedded in larger processes of speculative land development. The Milleara Estate, commissioned by the little-known developer Henry Scott in 1925, was laid out and available for sale across what are now known as the Melbourne suburbs of Keilor East and Avondale Heights in early 1927 well in advance of the true wave of development of that suburban region. This paper traces the initial impetus for the estate as a ‘garden city’ and its execution and sale with use of the Griffin name and ethos. While Griffin’s association faded during a period of stagnation, it was evoked nearly thirty years later to contest a government plan to completely re-design the estate.

Title: The camouflage of war: planned destruction in Jaffa and Tel Aviv, 1948
Abstract:
The massive destruction of historic city centres during the Second World War was used, first in Britain and then in the rest of Europe, by contemporary architects and planners for justifying a modernist ‘clean slate’ approach to urban reconstruction; for them, war was ‘a blessing in disguise’ that could be exploited for adopting revolutionary planning concepts. In 1948 Tel Aviv, similar justifications were used for the total demolition of Manshiya, a centrally located ‘slum’ neighbourhood which allegedly suffered extensive and irrecoverable war damages during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. This article argues that contrary to common perceptions, the 1948 Manshiya demolitions were not a ‘complementary’ act obligated by the destruction of war, but rather a deliberate exploitation of wartime confusion and misinformation in order to launch an ambitious (and illegal) ‘modernization’ project for the whole area of southern Tel Aviv. Unlike European post-war urban reconstruction, in Manshiya, war was deliberately used by Tel Aviv’s leadership as a camouflage for a large-scale planned ‘civilian’ destruction that realized town planning ideals in their most radical form. This made the events exceptional not only in the backdrop of the 1948 War, but also in the local history of urban planning as a whole.

Title: The planning of microdistricts in post-war North Korea: space, power, and everyday life
Abstract:
In the 1950s, the Soviet Union and other communist countries developed a unique method for allowing socialist ideology to manifest in urban spaces. The theory of the microdistrict was invented to establish self-contained urban units that included both housing and public amenities and resulted in a tremendous change in the planning of communist cities. Because microdistricts satisfied the communities’ social requirements and facilitated mass-produced urban housing, the North Korean regime enthusiastically appropriated the microdistrict concept to fit its own reality. This theory has been applied to the country’s urban projects since 1955, a time when the urban population grew rapidly and construction boomed. The design and construction of microdistricts reflected North Korea’s power relation and substantially impacted everyday life. Thus, to more thoroughly understand post-war North Korean society and its urban planning principles, the microdistrict theory should be carefully examined. In light of this historical background, this paper analyses urban projects that were designed based on this theory and explores the impact of the microdistrict theory on the structure of large cities in North Korea.

Title: Communitarian regionalism in India: how lessons from the New Deal Greenbelt Town programme translated to postwar India
Abstract:
This article examines transnational planning history following the Second World War with a focus on the diffusion of Western planning principles to postwar India by US architect-planner Albert Mayer. Specifically, Mayer’s role as a foreign advisor to the Indian government from 1946 to 1958 and the application of a US communitarian regionalist planning ethos to rural village improvement and town planning at Cawnpore (Kanpur), Greater Bombay (Mumbai), and Chandigarh is explored. Using the stages of transnational planning flows as a framework, we review the foundations of communitarian regionalism in American planning practice and Mayer’s participation in the New Deal Greenbelt Town programme to inform his translation, in partnership with American and Indian planners, of these town planning principles to suit postwar Indian planning needs. This comparative assessment allows us to present a re-examination of the transfer and adaptation of Western planning as well as exchanges of knowledge and practice within very disparate contexts.

Title: The organicists: planners, planning, and the environment in Czechoslovakia (1914–1949)
Abstract:
This article takes a brief look at the history of modern Central European planning, especially spatial planning in Czechoslovakia. It is primarily focused on urban and regional planners, planning ideas, concepts, and projects that can be considered ‘organic’. Several important planners (all males) who kept pace with the most current European and US trends (e.g. Vladimír Zákrejs, Jindřich Kumpošt, Bohuslav Fuchs, Alois Mikuškovic, Ladislav Žák, Karel Honzík, and Emanuel Hruška) are discussed. The text also mentions some of the driving forces of the time, which had a fundamental impact on organic approaches in planning, including the institutionalization of urban and regional planning. Attention is also given to various international influences and the transfer of ideas that have not yet been adequately analysed. In conclusion, there are some reflections on the significance of organic modernity that succinctly express the atmosphere of that time as well as the efforts of the mentioned planners and thinkers. The main message is to show the close connection between early modern urban planning and the phenomenon of organicism, or rather, organic modernity.

Title: Shaping an urban Amazonia: ‘a planner’s nightmare’
Abstract:
This paper discusses the massive colonization plan and settlement scheme implemented in the early 1970s by the Brazilian government as part of the development of the Amazonian territory, and accounts for some of the reasons for its failure. Building on the notion that the Amazonian settlement scheme had taken a mid-twentieth-century private-colonization enterprise in northern-Paraná state as a planning model, this paper reveals that they were both grounded in garden-city repertoire; particularly the ideas of decentralization, satellite towns, and the marriage of town and country. However, unlike its model, the Amazonian settlement scheme failed badly. The adaptations made to the model and the innovations of the new scheme will also be identified.

Title: Interpreting reinterpretation: the 13th conference of the European Association for Urban History, Helsinki, 24–28 August 2016
Abstract:
A sunny Helsinki was the backdrop for the 13th biannual conference of the European Association for Urban History (EAUH). The EAUH was established in 1989 with the aim to create a common platform to historians, geographers, sociologists, planners, and other scholars working with a multidisciplinary approach on urban history in different time periods. The first EAUH conference took place in Amsterdam in 1992 and the next one will take place in Rome during 2018 (for further information about EAUH, please visit the website: http://www.eauh.eu/). The ambitious theme of the 13th conference was Reinterpreting Cities. For planning historians, this theme held ample promise on programmatic, methodological, and theoretical levels. With 592 participants, 44 main sessions, and 30 specialist sessions, we decided to look at the conference through a specific lens. Based on a selection of relevant panels, therefore, we formulated two questions: first, how can a reinterpretation of cities lead to new theories on the city and connect to existing theories in other disciplines? And second, how can a reinterpretation of urban history connect to the ‘real world’, for example, planning practices? This conference report explores the ways in which this conference actually reinterpreted the city, in particular, how it connected to the spatial dimension and planning history.

Title: Transport planning as suggested in John Claudius Loudon’s 1829 plan for London
Abstract:
We consider Scottish landscape gardener J.C. Loudon’s already well-documented 1829 plan for a system of successive green belts around London. Our perspective will be that of transport planning, given his recommendations on street layout and public transport provision. Our contention is that Loudon’s design for the Metropolis would have been theoretically inoperative if it had not been for its transport network. Beside other forward-thinking aspects already demonstrated by researchers, Loudon’s plan is remarkable for setting out a design for an integrated Metropolis based on road planning and the then barely nascent technology of railways.

Title: The Royal Fine Art Commission and 75 years of English design review: the first 60 years, 1924–1984
Abstract:
This paper is the first of two linked papers that focus on the work of the Royal Fine Art Commission (RFAC), which, for three quarters of a century, held the mantel of the UK Government’s advisor on design in the built environment for England and Wales. The paper draws on archival and documentary evidence to explore the important work and concerns of the RFAC from its creation in 1924 and its early years, through to the post-war construction boom and into the 1980s and a new less paternalistic era of government. Analysis of the archives is supplemented by what the limited available literature tells us about the RFAC. As the instigator of a national design review service covering England and Wales, the work of the RFAC forms an important context for understanding more recent approaches to design review, both in the UK and internationally, that today form a critical component of contemporary planning practices.

Title: From Greater London to Greater Valencia: a case of British influence on regional planning and neighbourhood units in Spain (1939–1952)
Abstract:
Starting in 1945, Pedro Bidagor, the National Chief of Urban Planning in Spain, attempted to replicate the British regional urban model based on Abercrombie’s proposals of the County of London Plan and the Greater London Plan. The Greater Valencia Administrative Corporation, with its supramunicipal approach, was the principal representative of this urbanistic transposition. This article analyses the transmission of British planning ideas and practices in the years following the Spanish post-war period, and the important role that the architect Pedro Muguruza – key figure in early Francoism – played in it. The study also demonstrates the influence that the contemporary British urban models based on neighbourhood units had for the satellite town centres projected in Valencia (Burjasot and Manises, 1952).

Title: ‘Baltimore does not condone profiteering in squalor’: the Baltimore Plan and the problem of housing-code enforcement in an American city
Abstract:
In 1941, the Baltimore City Council passed a law, the Ordinance on the Hygiene of Housing, declaring that all property in the city should be ‘maintained in good repair by the owner or agent, and fit for human habitation’. The campaign of housing-code enforcement that followed, known as the Baltimore Plan, made the city famous. When historians write about American housing-reform efforts during the mid-20th century, they tend to focus on big-ticket federal policies; by contrast, the Baltimore Plan seems too small to be significant. But it is more than a curiosity. First in Baltimore and then across the country, the neat cause-and-effect it posited between good stewardship and good housing crowded out more challenging ways of thinking about the problem. Eventually, the Baltimore Plan turned into a policy tool that reinforced the interests of the real estate industry at the expense of poor people. In that regard, the Baltimore Plan laid the foundations for federal disinvestment in the provision of decent housing and the midcentury tragedy of urban renewal.

Title: The history of planning for Kowloon City
Abstract:
This short paper identifies from archival and published materials plans for a place called Kowloon City which had an Imperial Chinese military purpose and is now a public park (officially called ‘Kowloon Walled City Park’) after a long period of dispute over its jurisdiction. These plans were mostly produced by the colonial Hong Kong government that made the first planned attempt to clear the place of Chinese residents for a public garden in the 1930s, but this garden could only be built after the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration. They testified to the fact that the City has always been planned.

Title: Inventing Grand Paris: metropolitan planning history and its valorization
Abstract:
Planning of the Paris Region has a long history that began a century ago in conjunction with the global development of metropolitan planning policies. In 2013, a group of scholars working on the planning history of the Paris Region launched a series of four two-day annual international conferences entitled ‘Inventer le Grand Paris/Inventing Grand Paris’, which were held each December from 2013 to 2016. These conferences sought to expand the knowledge about the planning history of the Paris Region as well as to develop international comparative studies. This initiative was a reaction to the lack of historical depth in the discourse of the main actors of the Grand Paris planning process. It also sought to assemble for the first time and complete the historical research on the overall planning of the greater region, connecting it with research on other metropolitan planning histories. Beyond the conferences, a new website opened in June 2017 giving access to the proceedings but also providing a platform for sharing new historical material and research on this subject.

Title: Debates on urban reconstruction through reclamation of traditional water scenery in 1940s Tokyo
Abstract:
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government, seeking to break an impasse in its state-sponsored war-damage reconstruction efforts after the Second World War, presented proposals in the late 1940s to reclaim centuries-old canals in its central area to dispose of wartime rubble and create land for redevelopment. The Government also received a proposal forwarded by Japan’s professional baseball association to reclaim a scenic pond in central Tokyo and build a baseball stadium there, and it responded favourably. Two canal reclamation projects were realized, but the pond reclamation was eventually abandoned. These reclamation proposals provoked debates of varying intensity over the loss of traditional scenery as part of urban reconstruction. This paper examines those debates and interprets their meaning within the history of Japan’s city planning. It notes the awakening of concern for land use planning after reclamation – in particular, the preservation of locations of scenic value – in the context of urban reconstruction. The paper also considers the limited nature of civic space for public discourse and debate over planning proposals and a collusive aspect of the inter-governmental relationship in city planning. It also considers the attitudes towards reclamation displayed by Hideaki Ishikawa, the principal planner of Tokyo’s war-damage reconstruction plan.

Title: Planning history research in China: past, present, and future
Abstract:
Chinese planning history research has gradually developed out of architectural and construction history. Its main foci have been the periodization of planning practice and the long-term evolution in the form of modern cities. So far, there has been little work on the main body of practice, planning procedure, implementation, and effectiveness. The authors argue that it is time to shift the approach of planning history and explore how it can best contribute at a practical level to the theory and practice of planning in China.

Title: The Global Urban History Project
Abstract:
This paper introduces Planning Perspectives readers to the Global Urban History Project (GUHP), a new initiative to support sustained conversations in the field of global urban history that has important implications for international planning history. It situates the project in the context of the long and fruitful relationship between planning history and urban history and argues that the transnational turns each field has taken require even more cross-fertilization. It also lays out the ways GUHP defines global urban history, the concerns that led to the foundation of the Project, and the Project’s hopes for relationship with other professional associations in planning and urban history.

Title: ‘Uneasy bedfellows’ conceiving urban megastructures: precarious public–private partnerships in post-war British New Towns
Abstract:
From its inception, the European welfare state was a contract between the state, civic society, and the private sector. And yet, studies on the architecture and urbanism of the European welfare state frequently overlook the role played by the private sector, as the emphasis is commonly placed on governmental action. However, apart from governments also private actors played an important role in shaping the post-war welfare state. New towns in particular were sites of experiment. Here, public–private partnerships forged novel collective spaces, which challenged and redefined what constituted the civic realm. This paper focuses on one such novel type of collective space: the megastructural ‘heart’ of second-wave British New Towns. Combining mass consumption with administrative and civic functions, thereby blending the concepts of ‘shopping centre’ and ‘city centre’, these structures embodied the welfare state’s belief that capitalism could neither live with nor without the existence of a pervasive welfare system (and vice versa). Through the analysis of three megastructures, this paper highlights the important role that private actors played in the formation of the post-war British welfare state; it explicates the lofty societal ambitions that these New Town schemes expressed; and it pinpoints the precariousness of public–private partnerships in the development of urban megastructures.

Title: The history of urban growth management in South Africa: tracking the origin and current status of urban edge policies in three metropolitan municipalities
Abstract:
For many cities in the Global South, colonialism played a dominant role in shaping their urban form. The historical objective of planning in colonial mother-cities was dealing with poor health and living conditions, therefore a planning approach similar to that followed in post-war Britain would appear beneficial in post-colonial cities, characterized by environmental and physical infrastructure unable to cope with massive population growth. Urban growth management is a discourse born in an attempt to control the growing industrial city in the early twentieth century, and in recent years applied through instruments such as urban edges or growth boundaries to limit urban sprawl and encourage higher density urban development. In South Africa, the principles of compaction and urban growth management formed part of the post-apartheid planning agenda towards transforming the inefficient and fragmented landscape inherited from separate spatial development. Consequently, urban edges and urban growth boundaries formed key components of municipal spatial planning frameworks since the early 2000s. The purpose of this paper is to explore the origin and status of urban edges in three metropolitan municipalities in South Africa to aid in understanding of these spatial instruments in the south.

Title: A case study in early urban design: Toronto, 1966–1978
Abstract:
This is a study in the practice of postwar urban design in Toronto, Canada, based on archival documents and interviews with participants. The narrative begins with the hiring of one British-trained architect/urban designer, Raymond Spaxman, by the City of Toronto Planning Board in 1966. Spaxman then set up a new division of staff that he filled with five or six other architect/urban designers of various national and institutional origins. The study describes the work carried out by these urban designers, identifies the principle themes apparent in it, and relates this to published literature on the founding principles of postwar urban design. In most ways, the study's findings fit the current understanding of the early discipline – concern for pedestrians, sympathy for historical preservation – but in others not – it was different from but not antagonistic towards planning. The findings are then considered as an example of the international transfer of postwar planning ideas. The process of idea transfer in this case looks to have been more chaotic, and less definable, than existing paradigms suggest, but this might have been fairly common in second-rank, immigrant-receiving cities.

Title: The suburban perimeter blocks of Madrid 10 years on: how residents’ level of satisfaction relates to urban design qualities
Abstract:
In the 1990s, the suburbs of Madrid saw the substantial development of new housing. New plans provided for 200,000 new homes over 7200 Ha of land. These developments eschewed earlier modernist forms of suburbanization in favour of the perimeter block that superficially echoed the ‘traditional’ built form of the city. But the new perimeter blocks and neighbourhood design varied from their inner-city counterparts and have been the subject of near universal criticism. Some 10 years after their occupation, we reappraise the development importantly adding the perspective of residents. While many of the design failings identified in the past are confirmed, we also reveal qualities that residents value. The study demonstrates the value of post hoc evaluation after residents have settled in and leads us to argue for the importance of better integrating the everyday life (lived experience) perspective into evaluations to achieve better places.

Title: Planning southern Iraq: placing the progressive theories of Max Lock in Um Qasr, Margil, and Basra in the context of Iraqi national development, 1954–1956
Abstract:
Between 1954 and 1956, the architect, educator, and planner, Max Lock (1909–1988) produced a trilogy of plans to modernize the historical city of Basra and create new areas at Margil and Um Qasr in the south of Iraq. The New Basrah Plan was heavily inspired by the works of Patrick Geddes and aligned with contemporaries such as Lewis Mumford, Lock’s planning was progressive in scope and looked to differ from the planning of post-war principles in Britain through his notions of ‘civic surgery’. Contrary to this, his plans for Um Qasr and Margil focussed on infrastructure and the creation of more industrial areas not prioritizing people and place as highly as he did in the New Basrah Plan. Lock’s ‘Civic Surgery’ offered an alternative to mainstream thought by attempting to create usable, humanistic spaces, which hampered by politics and legislation, resulted in the plan’s shelving and were contradicted by his other works’ philosophies. New retrospective analysis of his underappreciated career reveals the complexities of his planning which this article demonstrates through the ‘failure’ of the New Basrah Plan and his plans at Um Qasr and Margil.

Title: History, civilization and urban planning development in China — report from the 10th Academic Committee of Planning History & Theory Conference: 26–29 October 2018, Guilin, China
Abstract:
The 10th Academic Committee of Planning History & Theory (ACPHT) Conference took place on 26–29 October 2018, in the Guilin University of Technology (Guilin, China). The annual conference was held for the first time in 2009. Themed ‘Urban Planning in the Course of Civilization’, the 2018 conference probed the continuation and evolution of planning history from different civilizations, defined here as cultural characteristic at a particular place and time. More than 200 delegates attended the conference, bringing together researchers from the fields of planning history, architectural history, city design, public administration, cultural heritage protection, archaeology, art and media, municipal aviation, to socialize and share their work with each other, and to gain insight into interdisciplinary historical research methods. Based on a selection of relevant panels and roundtables, the report explores four prominent themes discussed in the conference: planning history in different historical periods, urban form and heritage, the practical role of planning history, and interdisciplinary approach. The relationship between civilizations development and planning history is illustrated through four topics. It also summarizes the academic consensus, theoretical significance, problems and difficulties, and future-oriented experience of the conference.

Title: The world’s first purpose-built Airport City: Melbourne Airport, Tullamarine
Abstract:
The concept and definition of an Airport City have been ever changing since the introduction of the term in 1960. In the modern day, Airport Cities are now a ubiquitous form of airport planning with the basis of this planning paradigm, the non-aviation use of airport land as a source of revenue. The first iteration of this, in a planned, comprehensive and organized fashion at a major international airport was seen in the 1960s at Melbourne Airport, Tullamarine, which has been unreported. This paper demonstrates, through comparisons of airports opened prior to 1970, that Tullamarine established the basis of modern-day Airport Cities through the planned use of airport land for non-aviation purposes as a source of revenue. The paper documents the changing evolution of the Airport City concept, describes the unique facilities at Tullamarine and examines the ramifications of such planning.

Title: Inventorying Armagh: Max Lock, civil society, and the diffusion of planning ideas into Northern Ireland in the 1960s
Abstract:
The cathedral city of Armagh is one of the most historically and architecturally significant on the island of Ireland. This article explores the preparation of an inventory of Armagh’s architectural heritage by the London architect-planner Max Lock in 1964, commissioned by the Northern Ireland Committee of the National Trust. The inventory represents one aspect of the initial response of civil society to impending change in the built environment in the mid-1960s and formed part of efforts to ensure parity with Great Britain in land-use planning legislation. The inventory facilitates a wider discussion on state-civil society relations in Northern Ireland, the values and ideas guiding change within historic settlements, and the place promotional advantage that the local council sought to derive from Armagh’s history and heritage. Utilizing Ward’s typology of diffusion, it is argued that Northern Ireland represents an unusual ‘within-UK’ example of the transference of planning ideas and practices, with its historical experience of devolution offering valuable contemporary insights into the increasingly diffuse and fragmented governance space within the UK.

Title: Searching for effective and democratic town planning: the international travels of Sir Ernest Simon, 1936–1943
Abstract:
This article examines the international journeys made during 1936–1943 by Sir Ernest Simon, the prominent Manchester reformer and businessman, to investigate urban planning in Moscow, Zurich, Stockholm, and across the United States. The research uses Simon’s own handwritten notes and other archival sources, together with subsequently published material where he drew lessons from these places for Britain. It is a detailed case study of ‘policy tourism’ and ‘cross-national learning’ by an individual important in the town planning movement who was also part of a wider demand for economic and social planning being influentially promoted at the time by cross-party ‘middle opinion’. The visits formed part of his personal search for a form of town planning that was both as effective as that in the Soviet Union but also democratic and consistent with British political values. Switzerland and Sweden were judged as successful democracies, able to plan their most important cities effectively without recourse to totalitarian methods. The United States he approached with suspicions of its tradition of pervasive city corruption. However, he returned heralding the Tennessee Valley Authority and New York City’s express highways and parks as the world’s most outstanding examples of democratic planning.

Title: Post-war urban renewal and demolition fluctuations in Sweden
Abstract:
In the decades following the Second World War, Swedish cities experienced extensive urban renewal projects that continue to shape the country’s contemporary built environment. Many Swedish cities saw large-scale demolitions starting in the 1950s. The demolitions increased during the 1960s and 1970s, when the government implemented the so-called Million Programme (1965–1974). The declared target of the housing policy was to raise housing standards, create healthy living conditions and lessen the housing shortage through the construction of modern housing. In the 1980s, the preservation and modernization of dwellings replaced the clearance policy. The 1990s brought a new demolition wave, which subsided in the 2000s. This paper reviews the renewal processes and various phases of demolition activity in Swedish post-war cities from the perspective of housing policy and planning. The research analysis is based on the literature and statistics.

Title: Urban questions in the countryside? Urbanization and the collective consumption of electricity in early twentieth-century Belgium
Abstract:
This paper studies the early phases of the process of electrification in Belgium in order to shed light on the emergence of a distributed model of urbanization. The paper argues that the policies developed to extent the supply of electricity to each and every corner of the national territory is part and parcel of a distributed urbanism which reproduced itself in different forms throughout the twentieth century. Detailed analysis of the policies developed by three Belgian provinces to support the electrification in the interbellum period brings into view the ambiguity of the Belgian policy of dispersion. On the one hand, this analysis shows an eagerness to advance industrial production over the entire territory by making use of existing, rural collective resources. On the other hand, the policies of dispersion, despite their anti-urban motivations, in time produced (a need for) collective structures that facilitate processes of accumulation and differentiation that over time may be characterized as urban.

Title: Urban design paradigm shifts: the case of Barañain
Abstract:
Two urban discourses occurred before and after 1970 with their differences and similarities: the first indebted to the functionalism of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture (CIAM) and critical of tradition, and the second resulting from 1970s historicist reaction which, critical of the CIAM, focussed on the revival of traditional forms. Here, we analyse two urban approaches in a single geographical location: Barañain, located in the region of Pamplona (Navarra, Spain). The two plans (1967 and 1984) correspond to these urban discourses. Yet, on analysing them, we can see that the original discourses contain a hint of discipline-related mismatch, since – in both cases – places the criticism of previous designs before the social or geographical conditions.

Title: Transnational mobilities: Western European architects and planners in the Soviet industrial cities, 1928–1933
Abstract:
During the first Five-Year Plan, the Soviet state relied on the expert knowledge of groups of German and other foreign workers (architects, planners, skilled labourers) to design and build the standardized housing projects for industrial cities. This paper outlines the complicated transfer of Western planning ideas and designs into actual built spaces, focusing on the gap between initial plans and the makeshift and provisional types of housing that were constructed in the Soviet industrial city of the early 1930s, amidst escalating attacks on functionalist architecture and constantly fluctuating attitudes toward foreign specialists.

Title: Research Network on Regional Economic and Policy History
Abstract:
In the spring of 2017, the Research Network on Regional Economic and Policy History organized its inaugural workshop in London. The network aims to stimulate research in relation to regional economic development and planning challenges, by exploring the importance of historical approaches and methodologies whilst uncovering linkages between historical science and regional studies. The added value of an historical perspective is that it assists in revealing path dependencies in a region’s economy. Moreover, it can provide learnings in terms of the successes and failures of policy instruments, strategies, and institutions that are responsible for the implementation of regional policy. Furthermore, history can provide much-needed ‘thick’ descriptions which highlight contingencies. This contribution first explores the perspectives for interdisciplinary exchange between the study of history and the fields of regional and planning studies. Subsequently, it provides an outline of the aims and objectives, key activities, and participants of the network.

Title: The preparation of town planning schemes in the Metropolitan Police District, excluding the county of London, 1909–1934
Abstract:
This article examines the key issues and operational problems which arose when the district councils in the Metropolitan Police District prepared town planning schemes between 1909 and 1934. Their positive response was perhaps surprising bearing in mind that the planning system introduced in 1909 was cumbersome, tightly constrained and time consuming, that no provision was made for exercising control over built up areas, that town and regional planning were in their infancy both as a professional activity and fields of academic study, and that it was not until the 1920s that the Ministry of Health issued detailed guidance on the preparation, form and content of town planning schemes. Despite these problems, 73% of the Metropolitan Police District was subject to interim planning control by 1933. This provided a planning framework which was apparently accepted by most landowners judging from the small number of planning appeals that were lodged and the even smaller number that were upheld. They were, however, unable to overcome the problems presented by the statutory provisions for compensation, and thus prevent the wave of residential development which took place in the Metropolis and surrounding Home Counties.

Title: Postmodernism and socialist mass housing in Poland
Abstract:
In the 1970s and 1980 architects and planners in socialist Poland increasingly attempted to defy the inflexible structure of the state-operated construction industry and modify the by-now ubiquitous system-built mass housing blocks. These efforts generated housing complexes that took up postmodern principles—visually harmonic, legible, and at the same time meaningful urban spaces modelled after historical typologies. On the basis of archival documents, contemporaneous publications, and interviews with the protagonists this article analyses three examples: Radogoszcz-East in Łódź (1979–1989, designed by Jakub Wujek, Zdzisław Lipski, and Andrzej Owczarek), Różany Potok in Poznań (1978–2010s, designed by Marian Fikus and Jerzy Gurawski) and the Na Skarpie Scheme in Kraków-Nowa Huta (1987–95, designed by Romuald Loegler, Wojciech Dobrzański, Ewa Fitzke, and Michał Szymanowski). The article argues that these housing complexes first evolved from late modernist ideas, in particular structuralist currents, and only at a later stage absorbed postmodern theory from both domestic and international sources. It also points to individual architects and planners as the driving forces in the struggle between artistic innovation and systemic inertia, who were able to take advantage of unexpected latitude within the declining socialist regime to carry out their proposals.

Title: Contesting conservation-planning: insights from Ireland since independence
Abstract:
Where conservation evolves in contentious political contexts, it can be framed by competing priorities reflecting collective remembering, cultural politics and identities intertwined with the symbolic representation of the built environment. Ireland provides a unique lens to examine these themes as the only western European country to experience colonial domination, which forms a key aspect of the context for the evolution of conservation policy and practice. The aim of this paper is to chart the shifting representations of built heritage in Ireland, and their relevance in the emergence of conservation and heritage policy, set in the context of broader social, political and economic change over time. This is achieved, firstly, by a review of secondary source material to identify key events, eras and trends. Discourses of heritage are then examined in debates of the Oireachtas (the Irish legislature), identifying tensions around the emergence of conservation in a historic environment largely associated with colonial power and identity. These shifting discourses are then related to policy evolution, particularly the late adoption of a legislative framework for conservation (in 1999). Finally, conclusions are developed to identify wider lessons from the production of urban conservation priorities in the context of contested heritage.

Title: Urban modernization and heritage in the historic centre of Santiago de Chile (1818–1939)
Abstract:
Architecture and urban heritage have been decisive in the modernization of the historical centre of Santiago de Chile. As early as the first half of the nineteenth century they added value to this area of the capital. Public authorities, with the support of regulations, identified valuable urban heritage, incorporating it into urban transformations. For various practical or historical reasons, buildings and public spaces were preserved and eventually reused, giving birth to a renewed idea of planning, which took advantage of this existing heritage. The incorporation of new typologies into the colonial urban fabric, together with the conservation of traditional buildings and public spaces, produced memorable places, both in the republican and modern city. They enriched the urban practices and the city landscapes, offering a valuable continuity with the colonial and republican past. The integration of old and new stimulated the emergence of an urbanism of quality. This article focuses on three specific moments of that peculiar modernization process: the consolidation of the original colonial grid (1818–1846), Vicuña Mackenna’s Transformation Plan (1872–1875) and Santiago's first official Urbanization Plan (1939).

Title: Taking the high ground: construction of the regional spatial order of Chang’an Area in Tang Dynasty
Abstract:
Ancient Chinese cities were closely connected to extramural areas. Therefore, research on the construction of urban space in ancient China should not be restricted to the area within the city wall; rather it should extend to the surrounding areas. There has been plenty of research on the urban planning and design of Chang’an in Tang Dynasty (618–907), which is the capital of the most prosperous dynasty of ancient China. However, little research has paid attention to its spatial order at the regional scale. This article aims to solve this problem using the ‘triple-evidence’ method, i.e. based on the evidences from archaeology, literature and field survey. More specifically, it explores the main problems involved in regional spatial construction, reveals the general strategies for construction of the regional spatial order, and further analyses the planning and design approaches for different spatial scales. This paper reveals that ‘Taking the High Ground’ is the main method used in the construction of regional spatial order of Chang’an Area in Tang Dynasty, which reflects the dialectical whole of ‘configurational force’ and ‘form’ in the planning and design theories of ancient China.

Title: The planned destruction of Chinatowns in the United States and Canada since c.1900
Abstract:
Unlike virtually all other old immigrant enclaves in North American cities, the historic downtown Chinatowns of big cities in the United States and Canada largely survive, though not for lack of plans to destroy them. City Beautiful era plans, development projects, and other public and private interventions displaced or sought to eradicate Chinatowns, from Los Angeles to Victoria to Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia. Urban renewal era projects destroyed large portions of many Chinatowns, and some entirely. This article traces these broad patterns and trends of planned and realized destruction and preservation across 15 of the major cities in twentieth-century Canada and the United States.

Title: Imported modernity and local design: the creation of resilient public spaces in late Ottoman Palestine, 1878–1918
Abstract:
Jewish colonies were established in rural areas of Ottoman Palestine in the late nineteenth century; a period full of radical changes, including the industrial revolution, political and cultural shifts in the Ottoman Empire, and social transformations wrought by World War I. These global and local events had a significant impact on everyday life in the colonies, challenging the resilience of the built-up and open public spaces. According to urban space research, the ability of public spaces to withstand change depends on how these spaces are created and defined and the extent to which they evoke a communal sense of ownership and belonging. In light of the above, this paper combines archival and theoretical research in order to examine and characterize the resilience of public spaces in the Jewish colonies in Ottoman Palestine over four decades – from 1878, the foundation of the first colony, to 1918, the end of World War I. Planned and designed by mostly European-educated designers and entrepreneurs, the colonies’ public spaces demonstrated modernity, accommodated change, and created vibrant centres geared to serve a diverse ethnic local population.

Title: Temporary dwellings as informal suburban development in the global North and the case of Sydney 1945–1960
Abstract:
Occupation of non-compliant temporary dwellings as an informal stage in the achievement of permanent, primarily owner-built suburban housing is a global phenomenon although, until recently, much of the urban planning literature conveyed the notion that this type of informal urbanism existed only in the global south. Yet a number of studies reveal that comparable informal urbanism existed in the global North throughout the twentieth century, in the form of makeshift housing on purchased land surrounding cities and towns in France, Canada, England, Greece, Portugal and Spain, however, these dwellings did not necessarily lead to housing security for their occupants. References to temporary dwellings in the Australian literature indicated that urban informality existed at an appreciable scale on the fringes of towns and cities in Australia following the Second World War. This article highlights the distinctive Australian story. It surveys the international examples and compares them with the phenomenon as it played out in the outer suburbs of metropolitan Sydney. The article concludes by suggesting that a unique conjunction of circumstances, namely wartime legislation, the availability of affordable land, unprecedented household financial security, and communal subsidization of services enabled many low-income Sydney households to successfully transition from temporary dwellings to conventional home-ownership.

Title: Perspectives on decentralization past, present, and future: a review of conferences in Grenoble, Milan, and Delft (2017–2019)
Abstract:
Decentralization has actively engaged various fields of sociology, economy, and governance in the development of urban regions and territories. As a multifaceted strategy, decentralization contributes to enrich our understanding of national and international forces, power struggles, economic factors, and their impacts on the built environment. To frame the discourse of decentralization on urban development, three institutions of ENSAG Université Grenoble Alpes, Politecnico di Milano, and the Delft University of Technology closely collaborated to organize three conferences in Grenoble, Milan, and Delft, respectively. They called scholarly attention re-thinking of urban and regional planning of the twentieth century through the lens of decentralization’s values and ideologies. These three conferences laid out how decentralization and its evolution engaged with the field of planning, and in turn, affected urban transformation and regional development worldwide. Focusing on the role of decentralization in urban and regional planning, these scholarly events offered an innovative perspective on research on planning history. This report, therefore, reflects upon the discussions took place at these three conferences to outline the diversity of perspectives on decentralization and its role in urban and regional planning in the past, present, and future.

Title: The long after-life of Christopher Wren’s short-lived London plan of 1666
Abstract:
Immediately after the 1666 Great Fire, Christopher Wren sought to persuade King Charles II to rebuild London according to the best principles of baroque urbanism, with wide straight streets, axial symmetry, monumental endpoints, and a waterfront with open quays. The plan was quickly rejected as impracticable and Wren’s creative energy went into the design of St Paul’s Cathedral and more than fifty parish churches. But his scheme was memorialized by his son and grandson as a scandal of lost opportunity, a noble vision ‘unhappily defeated by faction’. Widely reproduced by print-makers, it gained iconic status, influencing street improvement in eighteenth-century London, nineteenth-century public health reform, late-Victorian advocacy of municipal autonomy, and twentieth-century planning controversies including the Paternoster Square redevelopments of 1955 and 2000. The paper shows how archival research disproving the received narrative of Wren’s plan opened the way for different understandings both of the planning legacy of reconstruction after the Great Fire, and of his own accomplishments as a Renaissance architect working within a mediaeval street plan.

Title: Urbanizing India’s frontier: Sriganganagar and canal-town planning on the Indus plains
Abstract:
Irrigation projects implemented by British colonial engineers transformed environment, economy, and society in the Indus basin during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition to constructing canals, headworks, and distributaries, colonial officers designed new cities to facilitate administration and global commerce in South Asia’s frontier areas. By the 1920s, canal development had formally reached India’s princely states and decades of town and regional planning experimentation yielded reproducible planning codes and development strategies that balanced competing impulses. Sriganganagar (Ganganagar), a city of some 250,000 on Rajasthan’s northwestern border with Pakistan, illustrates these development schemes, the nexus of town and regional planning in colonial India, and its enduring influence on South Asia’s linked urban and regional systems. Like the goddess river with which it shares its name, Ganganagar took many differing forms through its planning and development: as a place of celebration, of production, of modern technological achievement, of ecological and social transformation, of expanding state power, and of ethnic division, imperialism, and repression.

Title: From Geddes’ city museum to Farrell’s urban room: past, present, and future at the Newcastle City Futures exhibition
Abstract:
Genuine engagement about how best to achieve liveable urban futures should be part of planning’s raison-d’etre but it has a chequered history of delivery. Exhibitions harnessing the communicative power of mixed media and linked to a progressive and responsive programme of focused discussion and debate remain relevant to community consultation and civic engagement. Terry Farrell’s concept of the ‘urban room’ to involve citizens in engaging with the past, present, and future of towns and cities offers a contemporary refreshment of the approach propounded by Patrick Geddes from the early 1900s. The possibilities of creating novel and compelling opportunities for civic discourse in this guise are explored in this review article though the Newcastle City Futures pop-up exhibition and events held in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK in 2014. This event carries lessons for imagining how planners, developers, governments, and community groups may come together to critically and creatively forge future propositions for the urban condition.

Title: Infrastructures of displacement: the transpacific travel of urban renewal during the Cold War
Abstract:
By examining South Korea’s urban renewal regime in the 1960s, this paper sheds light on hitherto underexplored transpacific connections in the history of urban renewal. The period in question is crucial in that both Washington and Seoul came to regard urban space as a means to maintain an anti-communist regional order, which prefigured major urban transformations in South Korea for the decades that followed. With a focus on the circulation of technologies of governing urban space through particular forms of urban renewal, this paper shows that urban renewal in the mid-twentieth century illuminates the function of three interrelated phenomena during the period: (1) the formation of the transpacific network of power and knowledge; (2) the establishment of legal, financial, and symbolic grounds on which the ideal of homeownership could operate; and (3) the transport of what I call infrastructures of displacement. In doing so, this paper suggests a way of looking at urban renewal in the mid-century as the geopolitical project of disseminating ideas, norms, and technologies of governing cities during the Cold War.

Title: The world’s first slum improvement programme: Calcutta’s bustees, 1876–1910
Abstract:
Many believe that the first slum (settlement) upgrading projects were launched in the 1960s. In fact, arguably the world’s first began in Calcutta in 1876 and ran until 1910. It was sui generis. Like recent programmes, Calcutta’s prioritized sanitary infrastructure over dwelling repairs; unlike them, it lacked resident participation. Inspired by sanitary initiatives in Britain, it was motivated by public health concerns, especially for Europeans; unusually, it had precise geographical foci. It involved the extension of sewers; of water lines to standpipes, wash stations, and public latrines; the filling in of tanks (ponds) used for washing and cooking; the closing of domestic wells; street cleaning and street widening. It was modestly effective but had the unanticipated effect of encouraging piecemeal redevelopment at higher densities. Locally and internationally, it was soon forgotten so that similar programmes had to be reinvented. In that respect, it exemplifies a common pattern of policy amnesia.Abbreviations: AR: Administration Reports of the Commissioners of Calcutta; Calcutta: The Municipal Press; BC: Bustee Committee, Minutes; BMP: Bengal.

Title: Time scales and planning history: medium- and long-term interpretations of downtown Toronto planning and development
Abstract:
The paper transposes aspects of the histography of Fernand Braudel to the exploration of planning. It explores the extent to which different time scales, dominated by a longue durée perspective, reveal different facets of the history of planning and of how it operates. Lesser time scales focus on specific events while long perspectives bring to light durable aspects of planning, such as those relating to its embeddedness within fundamental relations between the state and the market economy. The paper contends that planning history and theory are largely shaped by a middle-scale histography, focussed on the succession of periods in the evolution of planning and on how they mark its progression. It proposes to counterbalance this historical perspective with a long-term historical lens highlighting persistent dimensions of planning, many referring to the fundamentals of its political economy. The paper argues that a full understanding of planning requires a consideration of different historical scales. The object of study is Downtown Toronto planning and development since 1945. A medium time scale identifies three distinct phases in Downtown Toronto history over this period, while a long-term perspective reveals how this district evolved with remarkable consistency into an expanded and diversified downtown during these years.

Title: Antal Palóczi and the beginnings of modern urban planning in the Kingdom of Hungary: the example of Bratislava and Novi Sad (1867–1918)
Abstract:
The period from 1867 to 1918 represents one of the most productive and intense eras of town building and modernization within the Kingdom of Hungary. From the beginning of modern urban planning, the leading Hungarian urban planners and theorists followed all the major themes of the era’s planning discussion. The modern urban planning principles, as well as the common urban design language (rings, avenues, city parks etc.) acted as a common platform for the town shaping in the entire country. Especially Budapest-based architect Antal Palóczi implemented very soon and with decisive success these commonly used strategies and solutions in his regulatory plans. Even these plans remained often unrealized as whole, their main ideas could be traced in the later urban planning solutions of the twentieth century despite the fact the later planners never referred to the first plans. The current study is the result of research and interpretation of newly discovered and unpublished plans and maps, which marked the beginning of modern urban planning at the beginning of the twentieth century in Pozsony, currently Bratislava and Újvidék, Novi Sad in present-day Serbia.

Title: Report from the 2019 association of European schools of planning annual conference: 9–13 July 2019, Venice, Italy
Abstract:
The 2019 AESOP conference took place in Venice, on 9–13 of July. This year’s conference consisted of five intensive days that included more than 100 different panels, which consisted of thematic and special sessions, roundtables, discussions and poster presentations. Overall, more than 1000 scholars attended the 2019 AESOP, representing almost 100 different institutions word wide. The 2019 conference was overall a stimulating and intriguing event, which was further enhanced by the city of Venice, the chosen venues and the evident organization. One could only hope that future conferences will continue to embrace the same level, depth and diversity of topics, while encouraging a wider and more critical approach to the question of planning history.

Title: Cities and memory: a history of the role of memorials in urban design from the Renaissance to Canberra
Abstract:
In recent decades, there has been a significant revival of interest and growth in numbers of public memorials – sculptures and structures in public spaces that convey information and social attitudes about past persons, events and ideas. This renaissance has been most marked in national capital cities. To better understand this recent revival of interest in memorials, and their potential to reproduce or transform social and spatial relationships within cities, this paper examines the historical evolution of the role and form of memorials within the overall planning and development of Western capital cities, both existing and new, from their origins in Ancient Rome and through their later development from the Renaissance to the beginning of Modernism. It charts memorials’ ongoing contribution to the role of the capital city as a diagram that defines and communicates national history, identity and politics, contrasting this to ways that memorials have adapted to changing technological and political realities of land development and management.

Title: The ‘desiccator difficulty’: surprise, indignation and the local politics of planning for sanitary technology in nineteenth century Melbourne
Abstract:
‘Desiccators’, large machines that used steam and beaters to reduce waste into powder that could be sold as fertilizer, were one solution put forward in response to late nineteenth century Melbourne’s sanitation problems. Despite some initial enthusiasm for them, challenges with finding locations for desiccators were soon dubbed the ‘Desiccator Difficulty’. The ‘Desiccator Difficulty’ is one, all but forgotten, story of the fragmented governance contributing to Melbourne’s delays in coordinating a metropolitan sewerage system. This paper examines desiccators as a story with parallels in and legacies for planning today. It focuses on the role of local property-based conflicts – arguing these constituted emergent forms of planning, underscoring an increasing urban separation and control later embodied in metropolitan planning and infrastructure. Fragmented standoffs and bylaws also rationalized spatial disparities – with suburban municipalities refusing to house desiccators, nightsoil was sent to outer shires for decades. The paper argues Melbourne’s socio-technical transition to metropolitan sewerage and governance occurred not because water-borne technology was necessarily superior, but because legal assumptions and property interests made alternatives difficult to maintain. Desiccators are examples of ‘muddling’ details that belie simple narratives of technological change, and which have implications for how wider urban environmental change occurs and is understood.

Title: Regional cities: international references in Brazilian regional planning in the 1950s and 1960s
Abstract:
A new stage of urban planning emerged in Brazil in the 1950s, with the region as the object of planning. Planners began to recognize the international contribution to the institutionalization of planning and to the development of proposals for Brazilian cities, as well as the connection between planning and urban decentralization ideas. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to delineate the city model that was being proposed within regional scale plans as the result of international urban practices and ideas. Two examples of such plans are presented in this paper: the Regional Plan of Santos (1950) and the Basic Regional Plan for the Coastline of Parana State (1966). As a result of the international references incorporated into these plans, a mixture of urban principles can be identified in these territorial proposals. The regional city model is the predominant principle arising from these plans, derived from the association of two planning scales: urban and regional.

Title: Kuy-e Narmak (1952–1958): the growth and change of an urban community in Tehran
Abstract:
This article examines the growth and change through time of Kuy-e Narmak, a housing neighbourhood developed in the 1950s under the auspices of Mosaddeq’s Modernization Program. The project was designed by a group of young-leading European-educated Iranian architects that collaborated with the government to develop affordable housing solutions in Iran. To design this project, these architects advanced solutions that explored a cross-pollination between the principles of the functional city, and references from vernacular architecture. Over the last 6 decades, the number of households living in Narmak increased dramatically, from the initial goal of accommodating 7500 families, to the 90,000 families that currently live there. This article discusses the extent to which the initial design decisions were instrumental to cope with this extraordinary increase in the district’s density. We have used typological and morphological analysis, combined with site surveys and interviews to investigate the district’s growth and change through time. This article argues that the designer’s critical combination of modernist planning concepts with elements borrowed from Iran’s vernacular tradition resulted in a socially inclusive urban community. The plan’s rigid urban form has become instrumental in defining a neutral background to accommodate the ever-changing social and spatial practices of its inhabitants.

Title: Whose master plan? Kisho Kurokawa and ‘capital planning’ in post-Soviet Astana, 1995–2000
Abstract:
Astana, Kazakhstan’s new capital city, was established in 1998 and became the only seat of government to be relocated within the former Soviet Union. In 1998, the government of Kazakhstan held an open international competition for a new master plan of Astana, for which 27 projects from 14 countries were received. This article focuses on the activities of the Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, who, despite having been awarded third place by the competition’s jury, was nevertheless declared its winner. I propose to re-examine the circumstances behind the choice of Kurokawa’s proposal (not to mention its financing by the Japan International Cooperation Agency) that eventually led to its implementation as the Master Plan for the new capital of Kazakhstan. A close look at this process will shed light on the way Astana has been perceived and planned since 1998 and also reveal the ways in which planning strategies and (international) politics influenced and co-constructed one another in post-Soviet Kazakhstan.

Title: Shankland and Cox at Cergy-Pontoise. Passing on British town planning working practices in France
Abstract:
Between 1967 and 1970, Bernard Hirsch, director of the Mission (town planning commission) for Cergy-Pontoise invited the architectural practice Shankland and Cox to assist the employees at the Mission in designing the new town. During the four years of their collaboration Shankland and Cox produced several reports and assisted the French in the creation of the planning briefs for the design of the new town. The correspondence between the Mission and Michael Welbank, who worked for Shankland and Cox, regarding the design of the préfecture neighbourhood in Cergy-Pontoise, as well as the internal notes at the Mission, in addition to the written testimony of Bernard Hirsch in his famous book Oublier Cergy (Forgetting Cergy), show how the employees at the Mission integrated the British methods and concepts into their work practices. Through their collaboration with Shankland and Cox, it was the working methods of the London County Council Architect’s Department planning division which were directly passed on to those creating new towns in France.

Title: An infrastructure of light and darkness: in visual conversation with Baudouin Mouanda
Abstract:
This article owes its inspiration to a series of photos that poetically documents the street lighting conditions in Brazzaville and which was taken by the Congolese photographer Baudouin Mouanda (born 1981). The first section reviews the provision of electricity and street lighting systems in sub-Saharan Africa as an expression of state power and weakness through infrastructural visibility and invisibility. Its aim is to provide a qualitative background and to enhance the situational understanding of the second, site-related section of the article which focuses on Brazzaville, the capital city of the Republic of Congo. Here Mouanda’s visual series is interpreted in light of conceptions of the ‘shadow’ and the ‘non-complete’, usable in trying to grasp the urban formations and lived realities in the global South.

Title: Understanding the Hobrecht Plan. Origin, composition, and implementation of urban design elements in the Berlin expansion plan from 1862
Abstract:
The nineteenth-century master plans for European cities influence their development beyond their intended lifespans and provide a variety of robust urban fabrics to this day. The Hobrecht Plan for Berlin's urban expansion (1862) was intentionally conceived to adapt to an uncertain future, remaining influential even today. For a considerable time, the Hobrecht Plan was disregarded and considered irrelevant across the spectrum of development plans in Europe. This article presents a comprehensive re-assessment of the Hobrecht Plan with an emphasis on its intrinsic value. The plan defined a new set of urban patterns, forms and spaces in 15 section plans and a range of public space typologies defining Berlin's cityscape. The plan developed a spatial and structural framework using three different urban design elements: the ring boulevard, the harbour square, and the neighbourhood square. These key organizing elements have helped public spaces remain the effective planning units of Berlin's neighbourhoods. This analysis provides insight on how contemporary master plans can better formulate long-term strategies to address complexity, adaptability, and flexibility. The article presents novel outlooks on Berlin's city structure and new knowledge of Hobrecht's contribution to the planning discipline.

Title: A historical institutionalist account of European spatial planning
Abstract:
This paper explains the limited success of the European Spatial Development Perspective pointing to fault lines in the institutional architecture of European integration and the view that the EU has no business in national spatial planning. So, along with the experts at the Commission, the EU has been sidelined. Spending departments at both national as well as at EU level have more clout than planning anyhow. Later, the EU did obtain a competence, if not for spatial planning, then for territorial cohesion. In anticipation, member states adopted their own Territorial Agenda of the European Union. Neither it, nor EU territorial cohesion policy proper went far. Part of EU Cohesion policy, European Territorial Cooperation serves as a substitute. The continuing primacy which the EU institutional architecture gives to member states explains why. But this implies that European space is conceptualized as the sum of state jurisdiction, a view challenged by a fluid, dynamic spatial reality.

Title: A Europe of ‘Petites Europes’: an evolutionary perspective on transnational cooperation on spatial planning
Abstract:
Using a historical-institutionalist framework, this paper discusses the emergence and evolution of transnational cooperation initiatives in post-war Europe. A number of critical junctures can be identified at which different goals and approaches were introduced. Due to the path-dependent nature of institutional arrangements, this has resulted in increasingly fuzzy rationales and contradictory objectives for transnational regions in Europe today. The paper concludes with a reflection on the value of historical institutionalism to identify the malleability of such complex policy concepts and the key challenges that transnational regions are facing due to unresolved tensions in their policy design and evolution.

Title: Institutionalizing EU strategic spatial planning into domestic planning systems: trajectories of change in Italy and England
Abstract:
This paper proposes approaching the emergence and evolution of the Europeanization of national planning using conceptual frameworks from historical institutionalism in order to shed light on the mechanisms and trajectories of domestic change arising from the influence of EU strategic planning. It seeks in particular to examine Europeanization in terms of the extent to which EU spatial planning has become a driving force for institutional changes in very different national planning systems. Returning to the changes that occurred in the Italian and English planning systems in the last two decades, the author provides insight into the attempts to insert and transpose EU spatial planning concepts and instruments into domestic systems, dealing with path dependency and European influence. By reading these processes from a historical institutionalist perspective, the paper aims to enhance understanding of the relative influence of European spatial planning on national planning systems, identifying mechanisms and trajectories of domestic change in different planning systems. Key findings concern the diverse modes and degree of institutionalization of EU strategic spatial planning, examining tendencies to replace the status quo through displacements in England and to progress through a path-dependent trajectory in Italy.

Title: CRONWE: first attempts to institutionalize European spatial planning
Abstract:
This paper is about a relatively unknown north-west European organization of spatial planning: the (standing) Conference for Spatial Planning in North-Western Europe. The founders of CRONWE tried to create a European spatial planning approach that could influence spatial development in the early years of European integration as the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and later the European Economic Community (EEC) were created. Spatial development, as a topic to be addressed, never reached the negotiation tables though, and CRONWE was created as a permanent platform for discussion with the obvious hope that gradually ‘Europe’ would recognize the relevance and even necessity of European spatial planning. In this paper we use a number of basic concepts of the historical institutionalist approach towards planning research; in particular institutionalization, critical junctures, and path dependency. We apply these concepts to analyse and evaluate the four decades that CRONWE existed. We are particularly interested in assessing why the CRONWE planning agenda remained marginal in the European integration process.

Title: Multiscalar governance and institutional change: critical junctures in European spatial planning
Abstract:
Change of major social institutions sometimes takes place during relatively compressed periods in which previously relatively stable institutions are transformed. Historical institutionalism and comparative historical analysis refer to these turning points as critical junctures, and have developed a valuable set of conceptual frames and research methods for their systematic and comparative study. A core idea of the critical junctures approach is that periods of significant institutional change often result in distinct outcomes in different cases, and sometimes produce enduring consequences in the form of subsequent pathways of institutional development. If this is so, then careful analysis of the dynamics of such change processes, the factors that enable change and those that shape outcomes in each case are important projects for planning history. This essay draws on recent research on permissive and productive conditions of institutional change, the fractal-like quality of multi-scalar institutional change, comparative sequential analysis, process-tracing, and counterfactual analysis in developing an analysis of the broader significance of the European spatial planning policies examined in the papers included in this special issue. A final section considers some of the distinctive characteristics of critical junctures at urban and regional scales compared to those at national or transnational scales in the light of these cases.

Title: The development of strategic spatial planning in Central and Eastern Europe: between path dependence, European influence, and domestic politics
Abstract:
Focusing on three of the Central and Eastern European countries – Poland, Czech Republic, and Hungary – the paper investigates the evolution of spatial planning systems and the introduction of strategic planning practices from the beginning of the post-communist transition in the early 1990s to the present. It sheds new light on this issue by applying the conceptual lens of historical institutionalism to explain this process and elucidate the role of the accession to the European Union (EU) as a catalyst for change. In particular, the paper identifies and analyses the critical junctures at which path dependencies emerged and later constrained the capacity of the regional and local actors to adjust to the EU Cohesion Policy framework and engage in strategic planning as part of it.

Title: Introduction: historical institutionalist perspectives on European spatial planning
Abstract:
In a context where European integration is put into question, under the weight of external (migration, safety issues, economic) and centrifugal forces (Brexit, growing Euroscepticism), European spatial planning has been somewhat sidelined in the debates on the European Union’s goals, cohesion and future. This special issue aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of these dynamics by revisiting the history of European spatial planning – from its origins, gradual institutionalization to its current rolling back – by exploring it both at the European and the national level, stressing its difficulties and idiosyncrasies.The conceptual framework of historical institutionalism is used across the papers in an attempt to shed more light on this processes, through the analysis of critical junctures and path dependency of planning and cohesion agendas, transnational networks as well as changes to the national institutions and planning systems.This tightly woven collection of papers touches upon not only the underlying arguments for European cohesion, but also the questions about the future of European spatial planning as an ‘EU microcosm’ in light of current discussions concerning democratic credentials and legitimacy of the EU project as a whole.

Title: Dabaodao: the planning, development, and transformation of a Chinese (German) neighbourhood
Abstract:
Dabaodao is an old city district located in the heart of the historical centre of Qingdao (north-eastern China). It was created over 100 years ago as a segregated ‘Chinese town’ under German colonial rule. This article embarks upon a journey into the past, reviewing the continuity and change of Dabaodao and its courtyard-style houses known as Liyuan over last century of socio-political turmoil. It discusses how they have evolved and transformed under different city administrations, beginning from the early colonial years, to the Republican era, the Maoist years, all the way into the reform period. Specifically, the article illustrates how city-planning, laws, and regulations as well as a general urban development ideology during one time period conditioned and shaped those of following periods, eventually turning Dabaodao into what it is today: a dilapidated and poor inner-city neighbourhood with an uncertain future whose historical significance and preservation value remains highly contested and under debate. This article reviews colonial city planning and its impacts in Qingdao, an under-represented city in the English language literature on colonial China; moreover, the article links Dabaodao’s diverse history to current contestations over urban renewal, hereby engaging the complex issue of using the past in the present.

Title: South African ‘know-how’ and Israeli ‘facts of life’: the planning of Afridar, Ashkelon, 1949–1956
Abstract:
In 1949, in the newly founded state of Israel, South African architects Norman Hanson and Roy Kantorowich planned the city of Ashkelon and, within it, the exclusive neighbourhood unit Afridar. Managed by the South African Jewish Appeal, which initiated and funded the project, Afridar presented a radical exception to Israel’s centralized planning approach during that period. An early example of a semi-private settlement initiative for an ethnic and class-based enclave reserved for ‘Anglo-Saxon’ Jewish immigrants, it functioned as a ‘model town’ for the immigrant population from the Middle East and North Africa, which was housed by the government in the rest of the city of Ashkelon. Afridar’s enclave reproduced planning practices from South Africa, which had been coloured by race since the 1920s. Despite its exclusive image, it was modelled after progressive experiments in the design of Native Townships. Their main objective of such experiments was to improve the standards of housing of racially discriminated populations yet, in practice, they served as a tool to implement apartheid policies. This paper interrogates this ambivalence of social aspirations and complicity with state segregation practices through examining the translation of apartheid’s planning practices to the Israeli context, and the negotiations and conflicts this translation entailed.

Title: The prolific interpreter of the Olmsted vision: Frederick G. Todd, Canada’s first landscape architect
Abstract:
For four years, Frederick G. Todd (1876–1948) studied and practiced with the Boston-based Olmsted Brothers, the seminal landscape architecture and town planning firm. The Olmsteds executed ambitious plans for parks, park systems, urban design, and suburban development according to the pioneering design principles of Frederick Law Olmsted Sr and his two sons, John Charles and Frederick Law Jr. In 1900, Todd left the firm to establish the first landscape architecture office in Canada. While Todd was deeply influenced by the ideas of Olmsted Sr and his sons, he arguably had more direct impact on Canadian city development than his mentors. Many Todd projects survive as treasured open spaces, and sought-after residential enclaves. However, despite Todd’s impressive career his reputation remains overshadowed by the legacy of the Olmsteds.

Title: Aesthetics of social identity: re-framing and evaluating modernist architecture and planning as cultural heritage in Martinique
Abstract:
This paper presents a little-known project in Fort-de-France, Martinique, by the French practice Candilis Josic Woods, as a starting-point for an anthropological framing of the cultural significance of modernist architecture and planning in Martinique between the 1960s and the present day. It responds to a dearth of research and scholarship on the modernist architectural legacy in the Caribbean region in general. Well known for its post-war mass housing projects in France and earlier experimental housing in Morocco of the 1950s, Candilis Josic Woods’ work in the French Antillean territories during the post-war years is hardly documented. This paper draws on archival and literary sources to consider the historical and cultural significance of this output at two levels: (1) within the context of the practice’s own commitment to an architectural approach founded in an anthropological understanding of culture and everyday life and (2) as part of the author’s ongoing work to develop an anthropological framing of modernist architecture and planning as cultural heritage within the context of postcolonial discourses and concepts of creolization, and to argue the need for detailed ethnographic fieldwork at the neglected peripheries of canonical modernism to support this line of enquiry through future research.

Title: Planning for play: seventy years of ineffective public policy? The example of Glasgow, Scotland
Abstract:
This paper looks at the planning and provision of outdoor play spaces for children over a seventy-year period since the Second World War. Using Glasgow as a case study, the paper examines whether and how research on families and children living in flats has been used to inform national and local planning policies in this area, and in turn how well policy is converted into practice and provision on the ground. The paper considers these issues in four time periods: the period of post-war reconstruction from the late 1940s to the early 1970s, when large amounts of social housing was built; the period of decline and residualization of social housing in the 1970s and 1980s; the 1990s and 2000s when several attempts were made to regenerate social housing estates; and the last five years, during which time the Scottish Government has developed a number of policies concerning children’s health and physical activity. Planning policy in Glasgow appears to have been ineffective across several decades. Issues such as a weak link between research and policy recommendations, unresolved tensions between a number of policy options, and a lack of political priority afforded to the needs to children are identified as contributory factors.

Title: Pursuit of integration in the former Yugoslavia’s planning
Abstract:
From the perspective of its inherent promises, difficulties, elusiveness, and relative discontinuity, the pursuit of integration in planning could be compared to the Quest for the Holy Grail. The aim of this paper is to identify the main commitments and impediments to pursued integration in the former Yugoslavia’s planning from the late 1950s until the late 1980s, drawing on the theoretical discourse, legislative, and institutional framework and the case study of the spatial plan preparation in the Socialist Republic of Serbia. During the chosen period, different aspects of integrated approach to spatial and urban planning were pursued in a context of creating and failing to deliver a unique Yugoslav version of the welfare state – the self-management socialism. In this light, the intended integration is contrasted to poor outcomes, which led to the loss of legitimacy and the final dissolution of the state, its ideology, governance, and socio-economic planning. The conclusion reflects on the main merits and pitfalls of the former Yugoslavia’s experiment to illuminate some general risks associated with the integrated approach in planning.

Title: Questioning public histories of urban planning: an investigation of ‘urbanisme horloger’ narratives in the Unesco site of Le Locle/La Chaux-de-Fonds
Abstract:
The recent, joint inscription of Le Locle and La Chaux-de-Fonds on the World Heritage List (2009) offers an interesting example of public use of planning history within the context of a heritage-making process. The notion of ‘watchmaking town planning’ that was coined for the Unesco campaign of these two Swiss cities suggests that a fundamental unity existed between their planned spatial organization in the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries and the social organization of their industrial communities. The paper questions this narrative by discussing the interpretation of a specific planning document – the 1835 scheme for La Chaux-de-Fonds drafted by Ponts-et-Chaussées inspector Charles-Henri Junod – that seems to play a central role within the conceptual framework of ‘urbanisme horloger’. The analysis aims to suggest that there are both difficult challenges and promising intellectual opportunities to be taken by closely observing the ways in which planning histories are publicly disseminated and appropriated by a plurality of social actors.

Title: Framing a new discourse on petromodernity: the global petroleumscape and petroleum modernism
Abstract:
The concept of the Global Petroleumspace is an analytical tool which engages the roles which different oil actors play in the development of new urban ideas and built forms. Coined by Hein, this concept contributes to enriching our understanding of globalization, modernity, and architectural history and their impacts on space through time. Petroleum is modern industry’s fuel par excellence. For much of the world, it is the arrival of petroleum on the local scene that introduces modernity with its attendant spaces, forms, materials, and discourses. To frame this new discourse on urban development and petromodernity, three events were organized: ‘Petroleumscape Roundtable’ held as part of the 17th IPHS Conference at TU Delft, ‘Petroleum Modernism Symposium’, organized at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and ‘The Global Petroleumscape Conference’ held at the Faculty of Architecture at TU Delft. This article briefly recounts and reflects upon the scholarly discussions which took place at these events, in order to outline an emergent discourse on petroleum’s imbrication in architecture and planning.

Title: Evaluating the contribution of planning gain to an inclusive housing legacy: a case study of London 2012
Abstract:
When London won the bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic games in 2005 it heralded a new moment in games making where it was claimed that the hosting of a mega event would be galvanized to create an inclusive legacy. Affordable Housing was a key dimension of this legacy. This article seeks to interrogate four key policy assumptions that underpinned the strategy for delivering affordable housing associated with the Growth Dependent Planning Paradigm. Firstly, that rising land values would create the potential to capture value for public good. Secondly, that S106 agreements (Planning gain) introduced in the 1990 Town and Country Planning Act would capture this value. Thirdly, that state and market would work in a symbiotic relationship reconciling private profit with public good and fourthly, that governance of planning should be overseen by an appointed rather than elected body. This article interrogates these assumptions through a longitudinal analysis of planning applications between 2000 and 2017. It argues that this policy framework has been relatively ineffective in levering public good. The findings are relevant for those interested in planning gain, value capture, urban regeneration and the potential for mega-events to achieve broader social objectives.

Title: The historical development of the housing policy of Russian cities from pre-industrialization period to free real estate market
Abstract:
This article focuses on long-term housing policy in Russia (1917 onwards). In view of the fact that during the Soviet era housing policy was set by the head of state, the article will discuss the following four periods: pre-industrialization, from industrialization to the Stalin era, from the Khrushchev era to developed Socialism, and post-Soviet collapse. The historical analysis of Soviet housing policy begins with the pre-industrialization period when significant political decisions were taken. A systematic and chronological description of normative legal documents then introduces the reader to the topic and gives a basic knowledge of the physical and social structure of the society. In the next part of this article, the main tendencies in housing policy up until the beginning of the 1950s are then described. Both the pre-industrial period and the period into the 1950s constitute the characteristics of a housing policy that was sustained until the end of the Soviet period.

Title: Spaces of transition: testing high standard housing in late-socialist Belgrade
Abstract:
This article explores housing models and hybrid typologies advanced as part of an urban renewal programme in Belgrade (Serbia, former Yugoslavia) in the 1980s. We argue that these typologies were tested against the socialist-modernist model of mass residential construction that had been dominant since the 1960s. Our research identifies the design methodologies employed in the insertion of collective housing typologies into an elite residential quarter of traditionally-planned detached family houses, in the case of high-standard housing project Dedinje II/2 (1979–1986) designed by the architect Zoran Županjevac. The article particularly focuses on local adaptation of the transnational concept of designing spaces of transition between community and privacy. Instrumental in this adaptation, we aim to show, was the educational experience and professional practice critical of radical modernism gained by the architect in the USA, UK and Austria. In particular, we find that the project reflects the transfer of knowledge and experience across cultural, geographic and political contexts. The resulting typologies, we contend, not only represented an example of a pluralist approach to late-socialist architecture but provided models for re-thinking housing in the transition to the market economy of the post-socialist period.

Title: Dublin's twentieth-century social housing policies: tenure, ‘reserved areas’ and housing type
Abstract:
At the start of the twentieth century, Dublin city's slums bore comparison to those of Calcutta. The last inner city slums were finally cleared in the 1980s. This paper takes a long-term perspective to examine the key features of local authority housing policy over these decades. We explore three key policy instruments (tenure, housing type and the provision of ‘reserved areas’), detailing for the first time how and why they evolved. Both parallels and contrasts with the UK experience are identified. We argue that the varying approaches to tenure reflect shifting government funding regimes and were not ideologically driven. One result was two phases of housing stock sell-off to sitting tenants. Ongoing internal debate concerning the balance between flats and houses resulted in periodic changes in the type of dwellings provided. ‘Reserved areas’, a serendipitous response to a financing problem in the 1920s, remained a consistent policy instrument over the years. This led to increased social mixing and a varied appearance within housing schemes. We demonstrate that the combination of these three elements created Dublin's distinctive social housing landscape with its low-rise, low-density footprint.

Title: Planning Aarhus as a welfare geography: urban modernism and the shaping of ‘welfare subjects’ in post-war Denmark
Abstract:
This article investigates how governmental power in the emerging Danish welfare system operated through transformations to the urban geography. The focus is on two concrete cases, namely two regional plans for the Greater Aarhus Area published in 1954 and 1966. By functionally dividing the city into spaces for work, housing, consumption, transportation and recreation, these plans aimed to knit certain behavioural patterns into the everyday life of the urban dwellers and thereby promote the becoming of a particular social order and subjects. This demonstrates how the emerging welfare state worked proactively in these decades, reconfiguring urban space in the nexus between welfare, modernism and affluence. Moreover, the article addresses the outcome of the plans, seeking to explain their unsuccessful trajectory by approaching them at the intersection of the local, national and transnational. In order to approach the complex relationship between welfare and urban space, the article proposes ‘welfare geography’ as the primary analytical category. Bridging perspectives from governmentality-studies and critical human geography, this category is designed to study how welfare as a ‘dispositif’ is geographically assembled from multiple perspectives, comprising planned, imagined, material as well as lived dimensions.

Title: Urban planning in ancient cities of Iran: understanding the meaning of urban form in the Sasanian city of Ardašīr-Xwarrah
Abstract:
One of the most remarkable cities of Sasanian Iran was Ardašīr-Xwarrah, the first royal city of the empire founded by Ardašīr I in 224 AD. While historical texts and archaeological surveys only provide details about the ruined architectural monuments of the complex, the circular-concentric layout of the city has been the subject of several speculative interpretations. The premise of this article is to question the cosmological significance of Ardašīr-Xwarrah’s layout. Then, in order to elucidate the ‘meaning’ of urban form in this city, the article offers a rigorous analysis of cosmological and geopolitical structure of the empire, whilst also taking into account the existing historical and archaeological data. Since the cosmological principles of the layout cannot be recovered from known historical documents, a number of hypothetical explanations of the city’s layout are proposed. It is argued that analysis of Sasanian cities should be based on more objective and rigorous methods in order to contribute to the knowledge of ancient urban planning in Iran.

Title: The birth of Mass transit system or the imperative of technology: a look back at the design of suburban train stations in the 1970s
Abstract:
This article looks at the suburban train stations built or rebuilt in the Paris Region during the 1970s. Through the analysis of articles from the railway trade press, it reveals how the railway engineers, mostly operationals seeking primarily to tackle fast-growing traffic volumes, have designed new kinds of sociotechnical objects to deal with metropolisation processes. In particular, it shows how their standardized nature contributes on the one hand to the erasure of the territories they serve, and how, on the other hand, their layout as channelling systems tends to obscure the figure of the user. In doing so, it demonstrates how important it is to take into account both technology and usage when designing transport spaces.

Title: An archive of anxiety: the papers of E. A. A. Rowse
Abstract:
This archive report discusses the files contained in EAA Rowse’s papers in the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Research Collections. Rowse was a leading figure in planning education in mid-century Britain who is nevertheless somewhat peripheral in the intellectual history of planning. The article gives a brief biographical overview and analyses the key themes present in the archive, namely Rowse’s anxiety about the future and his belief in planning as the only way to avoid a potentially species-ending catastrophe. It contextualizes some of his ideas and examines his conceptualization of the ‘composite mind’ through a close analysis of the various notes and reports in the archive.

Title: Edge conditions: invented peripheries, hidden centres: the 2020 Australasian urban history/planning history conference
Abstract:
The fifteenth biennial conference of the Australasian urban history/planning history group was convened by the School of Architecture, Environments and Design at the University of Tasmania at Inveresk in Launceston, Tasmania from 5–7 February 2020. The conference was a stimulating event that included 56 presentations attended by more than 70 delegates who showed a genuine interest in extending fields of enquiry and supporting each other in the research environment. Reflecting the island location, the conference theme was ‘Edge Conditions: invented peripheries, hidden centres’, with the Welcome to Country and invited speakers revealing Launceston’s position as central to the Australian experience, rather than on the often imagined periphery. It was a lively and dynamic platform for the exchange of knowledge with a wide variety of presentations that approached the significance of edge and periphery in Australasian and global urban development with intellectually nimble interpretations, imaginative insight, and mutual encouragement.

Title: Conservation logics that reshape mega-event spaces: San Antonio and Brisbane post expo
Abstract:
International expositions (expos) are significant to the history of urban planning. Analysis of post-event urban spaces can provide valuable insights into the study of spatial planning, parks planning, and heritage conservation. Case studies, conducted at two former expo sites in the US and Australia focus on the role of retention, reuse, heritage, and parks conservation as forces shaping urban spaces over time. The first case at the site of Hemisfair ‘68, in San Antonio, Texas, traces the role of urban renewal and conservation in the history of the site. In contemporary planning efforts, modernist pavilions from Hemisfair ‘68 join nineteenth century buildings as remnants of history that raise questions for the area envisioned as a New Urbanist neighbourhood. The second case study, a former industrial district was cleared and a working-class precinct transformed for Expo 88, in Brisbane, Queensland. The site was later redeveloped into the South Bank Parklands. Over time, South Bank evolved through redevelopment and master planning, public outcry, and instances of conservation in and around the expo site. Common to both cases is the conservation of parks, iconic and ordinary buildings, and public art, which are the outcome of individual and collective actions to shape urban landscapes.

Title: Major events and urban development: exploring the spatial impact of China's expositions in the early twentieth century
Abstract:
Urban developments steered by major events have a long history. Already from the second half of the nineteenth century, World Expositions were mobilized as opportunities for urban upgrading. This article highlights the spatial effects of three Chinese major expositions on their host cities in the early twentieth century (1906–1929). It will in particular highlight the impact on urban development and planning, such as the construction of modern public complexes, the promotion of new urban districts, and the catalysis of structural urban transitions. Considering the significant historical, political, and social analogies, we argue in this article that expositions were adopted under the influence of foreign examples as a model of planning interventions to prompt the modernization of the host cities in China. However, while there was an important transfer of spatial concepts and models, we contend that Chinese authorities played a leading role in importing and exploiting these expositions as strategic instruments. They did so by actively and consciously mobilizing multiple urban actors such as social elites, but also civil society leaders and merchants. This article based on archival research on three expositions, provides novel insights into the urban history of the host cities during the exposition period.

Title: An ‘ordinary modernist’? Empire and nation in Ariel Kahane’s large-scale planning
Abstract:
The article explores mid-twentieth century professional transnationalism by highlighting the crucial role of lesser-known planners – ‘ordinary modernists’ – in disseminating, negotiating, and ultimately shaping the modern built environment. It focuses on the work of Ariel Kahane (1907–1986), a mostly unknown German-Jewish senior planning officer under both the British Mandate and on the Israeli ‘New Towns’ team of early statehood. It examines Kahane’s critique of British imperial planning’s betrayal of the emancipatory values of large-scale planning, and shows how, while drawing on planning innovations from the British metropole, he produced his own, self-contradictory, planning vision. Kahane’s planning ideas advanced notions of Jewish exclusiveness, an orientation expressed ever more explicitly after 1948, when he became a high-ranking planning officer in Israel. His work as a senior state planner illuminates aspects of continuity across the divide of 1948, which is typically viewed as a moment of rupture with respect to Israeli state planning and the formation of ethno-spatial structures.

Title: Avoiding white elephants? The planning and design of London’s 2012 Olympic and Paralympic venues, 2002–2018
Abstract:
An issue commonly identified with the vast and costly developments that cities produce to host the Olympic Games is that they are prone to becoming ‘white elephants’ – obsolete or underused constructions that become cost burdens for cities. White elephants are particularly associated with some of the most recent Games of the twenty-first century, as reflected in accounts of ‘limping’ or obsolete venues in Sydney, Athens, Beijing, Rio and Sochi. This paper begins with a review of issues associated with spatial planning, architecture and planning process in the production of white elephants in Olympic history. It goes on to provide an historical account of London’s efforts from 2002 to 2012 avoid attracting a repetition of the critique that followed earlier Olympics. Finally, it assesses its ongoing efforts and record over the six-year period from 2012 to 2018.

Title: Street names in Dakar-Plateau: a colonial and post-colonial perspective
Abstract:
This article revolves around the naming of streets in Dakar-Plateau. This was borne in mind as analysis considered the system of urban nomenclature applied in the colonial era, when the city was founded and shaped by France’s colonial administration; as well as the (re)naming process ongoing after Senegal’s independence. The approach thus applied quantitative verification methods to a thesis oft-repeated in the subject literature, that a French glossary of toponyms dominates the system by which streets in Dakar are named. Quantitative analysis here shows unequivocally that there is only a slight numerical prevalence of colonial-era names of streets over new names. Beyond that, clear evidence is offered for the idea that, in both colonial days and today, the symbolic urban landscape expressed with the aid of urbanonyms was shaped by authorities in a conscious manner, being pressed into the service of political objectives. To indicate the strength of this kind of linkage, the article engages in the detailed discussion of each change of name that certain streets have been through; the bases for this approach being reference to the historical town/city plans present in the Archives Nationales du Sénégal, as well as fieldwork carried out in the Senegalese capital.

Title: Dalian’s unique planning history and its contested heritage in urban regeneration
Abstract:
Dalian is a particular Chinese city, which was occupied for half a century successively by the British, Japanese, and Russian Empires before 1949, with each imposing its own urban planning and building styles onto the city’s development. Since 1984, with China’s open-door policy and economic reform, dramatic changes have taken place in Dalian, transforming it into a modern and famous tourist destination within the country. However, with its rapid urbanisation, the built heritage is being compromised, and the preservation of colonial legacy has become contested. This paper reviews the unique planning history of Dalian and the challenges the city faces regarding its contested heritage, with a special focus on the case of Dongguan Street, which is a colonial legacy without any official designated status. Conflict arises between those who want to erase what they feel is a humiliating past, to make way for the modern city, and the ones who value the legacy to save the endangered heritage that remains.

Title: The natural environment in socialist modernity: three case studies of new urban areas in Czechoslovakia (1966–1991)
Abstract:
This article presents three case studies of projects to construct new urban areas situated around the capital city of Prague. These urban areas were among the largest Czechoslovak urban planning projects and were intended as comprehensive environmental planning. Indeed, all of these projects included a formal declaration of the importance of protecting the existing environment while also creating a new environment for socialist people. The first of these case studies is the unrealized project of the city of Etarea (1967) planned for 135.000 inhabitants and based on an eco-friendly systems approach. The two other case studies represent implemented projects: Jižní Město (South City) which was, in 1971 planned for 64.000 inhabitants (then in the 1980s for more than 100.000 inhabitants) and Jihozápadní Město (Southwest City) which was, in 1968 planned for 80.000 inhabitants (then in the 1980s for more than 147.000 inhabitants).

Title: Fritz Schumacher – Neglected German town planner and urban reformer in Hamburg and Cologne
Abstract:
Fritz Schumacher (1869-1947), German town planner and reformer, is often mentioned as a ‘conservative modernist’ or as an ‘unmodern architect’ and neglected in the works on the origins of modern housing and urban development. Schumacher was a visionary and pragmatic, a reformer and a realist at the same time. Schumacher's oeuvre and its full impact are not specific to Hamburg, but are integrated into the regional, national and international discourse on the reform of the metropolis. His ideas, his concepts for reform, his methods and his ability to ensure that the plans are implemented promptly, are current and forward-looking. The breadth of his work in Hamburg and Cologne is outlined in this contribution.

Title: Power, conflict and negotiation between the agents: an alternative vision for contestation on the public space in the late Ottoman empire
Abstract:
This article posits the territorial claim and control of the Ottoman government in the city centre by analyzing confrontations and conflicts of the state with the other agents via critical examination of a provincial case in the late nineteenth century. I examine the critical moments in making of public space to understand how the state authority claimed and enlarged its territorial influence during foundation and development of Dedeağaç (Alexandroupolis) port in Edirne province through many agency confrontations. The conflicts between the state and other agents extend from the choice of location for a new port and taxation of the new port neighbourhood to the provision of public works and constitution of an administrative centre. In this context, foundation and growth of Dedeağaç case demonstrate presence of many civic agents in clash with the state and they had to agree on an interim resolution for spatial construction of the town centre. This article aims to provide an alternative ground to examine the agency of the state in the late nineteenth century urban setting. It aims to be more inclusive by revealing the dynamic and substantial role of the other underrepresented agents in making of the cityscape in the late Ottoman Empire.

Title: The persistent reinvention of state-led planning policies in Argentina: exploring path dependencies and policy ruptures
Abstract:
This paper investigates the interplay between institutional continuities and transformations in the making of national planning policies in Argentina since the beginning of the twentieth century until 2015. Building upon evolutionary approaches to path dependence theory, in-depth interviews with planning experts and a re-mining of the historical planning literature in the country, the paper argues that the disruptive and transformative role assigned to exogenous macro-scale events in official accounts of Argentine planning history has been significant, yet regularly overestimated. The study first provides a concise review of these official narratives and, then, introduces an alternative interpretative key for the historical articulation of national planning policies. A shift of focus towards the underlying continuities in the power/knowledge nexus that shape institutional paths of policy evolutions reveals three inertia-building mechanisms: discursive assimilation, organizational solidification and expert adaptation. The inclusion of these mechanisms in historical policy analysis illustrates the potential of more nuanced depictions regarding how common standards to understand planning and govern policy-making unfold in/through complex contexts of institutional evolution. In this way, attentiveness to these elusive continuities in power/knowledge configurations may trigger or inform new and more acute narratives of the historical articulation of planning policy formations.

Title: Designing disorder: spatial ordering and ethno-religious conflicts in Jos metropolis, North-Central Nigeria
Abstract:
This paper interrogates the connection between colonial administrative policies, its urban planning strategies and contemporary conflicts in an African city. Urban design can shed light on the socio-political processes in the evolution of the city in Africa. Apart from the master-servant relationship that characterized Euro-African relationship in the built environment, colonial regularization, and rationalization of urban space foregrounded power relations between different African groups in the city. This promoted struggles for space between different African groups – indigenes and settlers. Relying on interviews, focus group discussions and archival sources, this article discusses the ways in which historical forces and colonialism, in this case, colonial administrative policies and urban planning ethos, promoted a certain spatial ordering and power relations among disparate racial, ethnic and religious groups and the grievances they invigorated underlie nascent ethno-religious conflicts in Jos. It does so because conventional explanations in the mushrooming literature on urban conflicts and violence in Nigeria have all too often presented the conflicts as though they are recent developments, inspired by the consequences of structural adjustment programme, resurgence of identity politics and the politics of local government creation.

Title: Planning a ‘Regional breathing space’: the ecological shift in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the New Jersey Meadowlands, 1970
Abstract:
The discussion of resiliency in the New York metropolitan area, following the Superstorm Sandy in 2012, is not a new one. The recent shift in policy approach, including the 2017 regional plan released by the Regional Plan Association (RPA), demands new land use definitions and governance strategies for the region’s ecological planning. Amidst this colossal undertaking, the study of a historical plan that was made for the New Jersey Meadowlands, one of the grand sites where today’s resiliency rebuilding efforts concentrate, sheds light on how policymakers and planners conceptualized an ecosystem problem at the crux of the environmental movement in the 1960s. The plan, known as the 1970 Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of Hackensack Meadowlands, was not only a land use plan but was also a manifesto reflecting a new ethos for a network of wetlands that were deemed ecologically ‘unworthy’. Although only partially implemented, the plan not only prefaced a future strategy for the Meadowlands, but it also formed the basis for a one-of-a-kind eco-governance model in the United States. This paper situates this comprehensive episode of planning in the region’s history, raising larger questions about governance issues in interconnected ecosystems and land use negotiations across political jurisdictions.

Title: From ‘minimum dwelling’ to ‘functional city’: reappraising scale transitions in the early history of CIAM (1928–33)
Abstract:
In comparison to the historiographical interest in the founding meeting at La Sarraz (1928) or its fourth congress (1933), less attention has been accorded to the role of CIAM’s previous two congresses in Frankfurt (1929) and Brussels (1930) in shaping the organization’s trajectory. This article offers a critical reappraisal of the these two congresses, and of the entire 1928–30 period, as a determinative phase in the history of CIAM. I suggest that this period mapped and sanctioned a transitional dynamics based on scale expansion (from dwelling to building to site to city) in CIAM’s field of analysis. It also produced – through clash and synthesis, success and failure, intention and chance – decisive path dependencies for the future direction of the organization. I use the trope of ‘transition from’ – rather than ‘transition towards – to draw attention both to the dynamics unleashed by each of the two congresses and to the importance of what transpired in the intervening periods. I argue that CIAM2 and especially CIAM3 represent de facto ‘critical junctures’ that produced new directions of historical travel, generated reactive sequences to antecedent events, and supplied the intellectual and programmatic wherewithal for CIAM's subsequent leap into large-scale urban utopia.

Title: From prophecy to projection: the New York Metropolitan Region Study and the rescaling of the urban future, 1956–1968
Abstract:
Between 1956 and 1959, amid far-flung residential and industrial suburbanization and with the joint backing of the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Twentieth Century Fund, an interdisciplinary coterie of scholars from Harvard partnered with New York’s Regional Plan Association to produce a widely read ten-volume ‘projection’ of what the physical plant, political economy, and everyday lives of that metropolis would look like in 1985. This paper considers the New York Metropolitan Region Study as a peculiar, consequential exercise in how postwar urbanists recast urban temporality. Rejecting both the certainties of prophecy and the hazards of mere prediction, the Study sought to establish a new tense for urbanism and a newly disciplined set of methods for making inferences about the urban future on the basis of the past and present. The constituent volumes of the NYMRS garnered various degrees of influence in isolation. The sum total both furthered acceptance of a regional scale of operations for planning and decisively chastened hopes for political intervention on urban and regional futures.

Title: An officer and a bourgeois: Israeli military personnel, suburbanization and selective privatization
Abstract:
In the 1980s, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) initiated the construction of several suburban communities for the benefit of its personnel. These new settlements offered the opportunity of a better quality of life in a homogeneous and exclusive environment, all in a commuting distance from the main metropolises. The State subsidized the construction of these settlements to support the military, and in the hope that the prestigious image of the IDF would help in developing peripheral areas. Military officers could live their bourgeois dream while taking part in the greater national mission of urban development. Reut is an architype of such a suburban military settlement. It offered young officers the ability to obtain subsidized spacious houses in an exclusive community while forming a steppingstone in the later mass development of the area. Therefore, using selective privatization as a means to encourage the formation of a real estate market and to enable further development.

Title: Designing the 2018 Urbanism places exhibition and public planning history
Abstract:
This paper clarifies the intention behind the design of the exhibition ‘Urbanism Places Exhibition 2018’ (UPE2018), and analyzes evaluations of exhibition visitors. It aims to develop a methodology for planning history exhibitions. UPE2018 was an exhibition that focused on plazas in the context of planning heritage. The 55 HIROBA of the Shinjuku Mitsui Building was selected as a venue so that people could experience a high-quality plaza, which is an example of planning heritage in itself. In addition, the organizer prepared content about the history of public spaces in both Japan and the Shinjuku area, as well as on contemporary methods of creating public spaces, and the exhibition featured talks about public spaces. The exhibition method was based on the following principles: 1) an exhibition should be woven into the everyday use of space and 2) the exhibition itself creates a plaza. The evaluations revealed that non-experts especially tended to appreciate the talk-type program. Planners tended to see the planning history exhibition as a source of knowledge that could be useful in urban planning, while non-experts reported the exhibition increased their awareness of surrounding urban spaces.

Title: Shantytowns, housing and state order: the Plan de Emergencia in 1950s Argentina
Abstract:
In September 1955 in Argentina a coup d'état backed by a heterogeneous coalition of military and civil actors overthrew the elected government of Juan Domingo Perón and set out to profoundly alter most of his policies. One key aspect to be addressed was that of housing and, by extension, the role of shantytowns in the urban landscape. Indeed, after a decade of significant social and economic change, urban employment had grown faster than housing provision and shantytowns had expanded rapidly, gaining sudden visibility. This article analyses the 1956 Plan de Emergencia, the first shantytown eradication programme launched in Argentina, in order to uncover the conceptions of housing sustained by the state at a crucial historical juncture. It argues that the Plan re-cast earlier ideas about housing and planning, and updated them to a new political context. The article argues that such changes reflected several historical contradictions, for example, by recommending state-sponsored clearance alongside state withdrawal from housing funding. Furthermore, as the Plan intertwined local concerns with inter-American discussions, it engaged with emerging professional networks of the Cold War Americas and set a key antecedent for subsequent housing and urban plans during the 1960s and 1970s.

Title: The community settlement: a neo-rural territorial tool
Abstract:
The Israeli Community Settlements are small-scale non-agricultural villages that consist of a limited number of families and a homogenous character. This method began to be used by the Israeli government and its different planning agencies during the 1970s as a tool to strengthen the state's territorial and demographical control over the Israeli internal frontiers of the Galilee, the West-Bank and along the Green-Line. Unlike earlier settlement methods that relied on ideological values such as labour, agriculture, redemption, identity and integration, as part of the nation-building years, the Community Settlements promoted a more individual and neo-rural lifestyle. In this paper I ask to show how the Community Settlements formed the new leading tool for a national agenda, in correspondence with the changing ideals in Israeli culture, moving from a quasi-socialist society into a market-driven neoliberal one. Later, suburbanising the neo-rural phenomenon.

Title: Expressway urbanism: highway planning and the reimagining of Tel Aviv-Jaffa
Abstract:
The Ayalon route is an infrastructural corridor serving as the principal northern and southern entrance to the city of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, bundling together multi-lane expressway, railway tracks, and a flood regulation canal. Its planning history, changing from a meandering seasonal river to Israel busiest traffic route, was a lengthy and incremental process, generating several plans by different planning agencies with different ambitions. Since the inception of the idea to implement a highway on what was described as ‘natural opening’ – the beds of the Ayalon (Musrara) river, this area became a landscape of opportunity, inciting social imagination among urban planners, municipal and national officials who used the road as an organizing device for the development of the city and the nation. This historical research explores the co-production of urban planning and transportation planning, not as rivalling forces but as coproducing processes.

Title: Pulo Mas: Jakarta’s failed housing experiment for the masses
Abstract:
This paper analyzes the first government project intended to create a housing community accessible to low-income residents of Jakarta in response to the capital city’s population explosion during the 1950s and 1960s. The project was conceived in the midst of the volatile political and economic circumstances of the Sukarno administration in the early 1960s, but implemented under the governorship of Ali Sadikin in early years of the Suharto New Order government. As the first proposed mass affordable housing settlement, the Pulo Mas plan concept was prepared by three Indonesian architects sent to Denmark to study European social housing and urban planning practices to inform a proposed satellite city scheme for Jakarta. Although conceived under the Sukarno government that regarded European cooperative housing schemes favourably, it was built under the Suharto New Order government with a revised process and plan by Jakarta’s private sector for a more upscale housing market. The changed plan precluded Pulo Mas from fulfilling its promise to bring quality housing to a broad spectrum of Jakarta’s population

Title: Remaking the border: the proposed border expansion of Canberra in the 1960–70s revisited in the planning and development context of the 21st century
Abstract:
In the 1960–70s, there was a proposal to expand the administrative border of Canberra into the neighbouring state New South Wales to accommodate long-term population growth and urban development. However, this attempt failed ultimately. This study investigates this ‘remaking’ of the border, and revisits the same issue in the planning and development context of the twenty-first century. It employs three conceptual constructs – ‘bordering’, ‘debording’, and ‘rebordering’ – to draw insights into the nexus between the border’s (re)making, dominant planning thinking, and emerging development process. It uses a mix of primary and secondary sources of data and information collected from the National Archives of Australia, newspaper clippings of The Canberra Times, interviews with planners involved, Australian Census data, and planning literature. It finds that the border expansion proposal was driven by a political advocacy out of a modernist technocratic planning vision for a linear city, and was based on an over-optimistic and mechanical population projection. However, as a highly political initiative, its failure was doomed by political strains and changes, and local community’s concerns. Knowing this history contributes to tackling a similar issue in today’s paradox of a planning paradigm for compactness and sustainability and an emerging development expansion onto the border.

Title: Urban conservation legacy of the Turkish planning system: tracing spatial change in the Ankara Acropolis, from 1923 onwards
Abstract:
This paper examines the conservation history of the Ankara Acropolis, today named ‘Hacı-Bayram District’, and the spatial change in this historic environment linked to the development of urban conservation since the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923. We drew upon archival research such as old maps, aerial images, former analyses, technical plans and project reports, legal decisions by conservation boards and a field survey to illustrate the morphological change triggered by conservation attempts. Hacı-Bayram District is a unique heritage site located in the old town of Ankara, the capital of Turkey, and has a symbolic square in which religious histories co-exist through the Augustus Temple and Hacı-Bayram Veli Mosque on top of the city’s ancient Acropolis. This historic district was one of the first in which urban conservation and development projects were implemented, during the construction of the modern Turkish capital, and has witnessed dramatic transformation, in the name of urban renewal. The findings of this study demonstrate an exceptional spatial representation of changing concepts of conservation in line with the Turkish planning system.

Title: Urban resilience and sustainability of the city of Gondar (Ethiopia) in the face of adverse historical changes
Abstract:
Resilience and sustainability are concepts that are widely used in socio-ecological literature to assess the capacity of social and ecological systems to cope with hardship. Lately, these two concepts have gained importance in the planning literature as they are used in evaluating the resilience and adaptability of urban systems. Urban resilience refers to the ability of an urban system to adapt and fully function to maintain its form, structure and identity irrespective of hardship. Adaptability helps to understand the historical and cultural transformation of cities as they go through recovery after a major historical crisis. Based on concepts of resilience and sustainability, this paper analyses the historical transformation of the city of Gondar (Ethiopia) including the crises it faced in the 19th and early twentieth century. In the last hundred years, Gondar has struggled to maintain its historic identity and economic significance. This paper also identifies the strategic development measures that historic cities can take to revamp their economy and build a sustainable community. With a strong leadership and a visionary plan, historic cities can resort to their distinctive cultural resources and rich natural assets as they adapt to spur their economy and maintain their historic identity.

Title: Evaluating nineteenth-century urbanization in the Galata neighbourhood of İstanbul using the maps by Huber, d’Ostoya, and Goad
Abstract:
İstanbul experienced significant changes in its urban pattern as a result of Westernization that took place in the nineteenth century. Galata, a neighbourhood located in the Beyoğlu District, represents the occidental and cosmopolitan face of the city during that time. This study examines the spatial effects of these social and political changesby integrating old city maps of Beyoğlu and Galata with geographic information system programmes (GIS). This methodology affords novel interpretations of historical maps thanks to these new ways of analyzing, displaying, and managing geographical information. The maps of G. d’Ostoya (1858–1860), R. Huber (1887–1891), and Charles E. Goad (1904–1906) have been coordinated with GIS software. Items such as buildings, roads, and empty spaces included as raster data have been transformed into vector data to make comparisons and superpositions possible within the GIS environment. Thus, the transformation of urban space can be revealed, and conclusions about how Galata experienced broader change across the nineteenth century can be perceived.

Title: Evolution of the administrative entities of urbanistic licenses in the town hall of Madrid: adaptation to the development of the metropolis
Abstract:
This article analyses the evolution of the three principal administrative entities that are currently empowered to process urban planning licenses in the city of Madrid. The article draws from demographic analyses and historical data, initially by comparing them to similar data of other large capitals. It shows that the configuration of Districts is key to understanding the development of the city, and that this responsibility falls within the daily duties of Municipal Boards. This relationship elucidates districts’ prevailing autonomies and their developments, and moreover that these developments are rhythmic in nature as they are associated with the growth of the metropolis. To understand the dynamics of the so-called Greater Madrid Area, and the complex nature of managing authorizations for building projects, it is helpful to have insights into administrative entities with processing power. To attain the latter it is necessary to study the evolution of these entities, i.e. how they have adapted to the complexities of administrating urban rights.

Title: Thinking relationally about socialist cities: cross–border connections in Czechoslovak post-war urban planning and housing construction
Abstract:
This article makes a case for a relational approach to studying the history of ‘socialist cities’ in Europe as inherently interconnected with various other places through transnational links. It attempts to contribute to historians’ debates about the socialist city and to interlink them with the project of developing a ‘global urban studies’. To do so, it brings several examples from the history of urban planning and urban development in post-war Czechoslovakia which challenge academic representations of socialist cities as specific and disconnected from places across the Iron Curtain. First, based on a review of contemporary professional literature in urban planning and architecture, the article points out some of the channels through which knowledge about and from geographically or ideologically distant places, including the ‘Western’ world, was available to Czechoslovak experts, and, especially, how this knowledge has been reflected in their own debates about housing construction and urban development in Czechoslovakia. Second, one palpable example of exchanges across the borders of the then-divided Europe is depicted through the transnational story of wooden prefabricated houses. So called Finnish houses were produced in Finland, yet they became an integral part of several cities and towns in socialist Czechoslovakia.

Title: Suburban gardens in the interwar planning agenda: London’s Becontree vs. Frankfurt’s Rörmerstadt
Abstract:
A great part of the interwar expansion of European cities relied on social housing schemes built on affordable suburban land following garden-city principles. Green spaces were an essential part of these extension plans, which were particularly ambitious in London and Frankfurt. While both initiatives have been extensively researched, most of these studies contemplate their green areas as an offshoot of the housing programmes and not as an essential part of the planning. Based on published sources and archival research, this article compares two of the most paradigmatic settlements of the period, Becontree in London and Römerstadt in Frankfurt, to analyze the role gardens played in the urban agenda. As this comparative study shows, private gardens and allotments were not a byproduct but a keystone in interwar suburban planning, albeit in different ways. While in London they were introduced as a new hobby for the working classes that insisted on its ornamental features, in Frankfurt, they were part of a comprehensive plan to make the city self-sufficient, so its productive, utilitarian role was prioritized. Both strategies used gardens in a significant way to achieve their ultimate goal of improving living conditions in order to avoid social unrest.

Title: L’Enfant’s Washington: the figure of the President in the capital of the Republic
Abstract:
Pierre L’Enfant’s plan for the permanent seat of government on the banks of the Potomac River was completed in 1791. Evidence of L’Enfant’s intentions is limited and the documentation of the debate surrounding its organisation, surprisingly small. However, an examination of the plan, and its correlation with the existing topography and surrounding landscape yields new evidence related to the structure of the most significant axes of the new city. This paper demonstrates the central role of the figure of the President to the location of key buildings and the orientation of avenues. It examines the creation of the persona of George Washington as part of a republican tradition of heroic virtue and explores the extent to which the adoption of a symbolic structure associated with kingship was reconciled with the republican ideals of the new nation. This work questions received ideas as to the distribution of and location of significant institutions and the sequence of design ideas that informed the 1791 plan. More importantly, it embeds Washington, D.C. in a wider history of urbanism as a key location for the early embodiment of American ceremonial life and an early example of structured civic space.

Title: Colonial planning of Nairobi airports, 1933–1953
Abstract:
Most published histories of airport planning relate to decisions taken autonomously by national or local authorities on continents such as North America and Europe. Elsewhere, such as Africa, colonial governments had a large role in airport planning and provision. Using official government records at archives in Nairobi and London, this paper traces the layered and convoluted decision-making processes behind Britain's planning of airports in Kenya's capital city. Government ministries in London, and the British national airline, wanted new facilities in East Africa for post-War civil aircraft, but were unable to agree on which agency would bear what share of the cost. Kenya's own colonial authorities contested the need for and affordability of the colonial project. Disputes proceeded in a fog of engineering and financial assumptions and estimates. In 1953, approval of Nairobi's third – and current – international airport ended eight years of British-mediated surveys, negotiation and indecision about land and infrastructure on the urban edge.

Title: Grid orientation and natural ventilation in Cerdà’s 1860 urban plan for Barcelona
Abstract:
The increasing concern about climate change has produced growing interest in natural ventilation and urban planning. There seems to be a gap in the study of introducing urban climate into urban planning, even though doing so would increase population comfort and decrease energy spending. Natural ventilation provided by wind flowing through the streets of a city might be considered as a first priority for passive cooling. It is intuitive that if the street grid coincides with wind flow direction, a city will get more wind in the street. Otherwise, building walls will stop the wind. This study addresses this important topic, grounded on the urbanization of Ildefons Cerdà with regard to Barcelona. In this research, a consistency analysis of the grid orientation and wind flow direction is done for Barcelona. The objective is to demonstrate using current technology that Cerdà’s grid orientation, which strove to capture fresh winds in summer and avoid cold winds in winter, really works. Methodologically, we discuss the reasons, found in the vast work of the Cerdà urban plan, for capturing winds; and we demonstrate the goodness of fit of street grid orientation for capturing winds using spatial analysis in GIS.

Title: Typology of medieval urban layouts in historic Lesser Poland and their protection
Abstract:
This paper presents a study of the typology of medieval urban layouts in historical Lesser Poland in the context of their conservation requirements. It describes identified urban layouts in medieval Lesser Poland, namely the nine-square model, the turbine, the pseudo-oval (Silesian), and the orthogonal model enclosed within an oval or a circle. An analysis of current conservation measures, presented through the exazmple of ten well-preserved historic towns in former Lesser Poland, coupled with the authors’ research findings, indicate the necessity of improving the protection of historic urban layouts. An amendment to monument protection law is proposed so as to include the need to establish an additional form of conservation, namely a historic town list or register. Furthermore, the authors note that a more system-based heritage site management is required, in accordance with international recommendations by the ICOMOS and UNESCO e.g. HUL.

Title: Factors, mechanisms and challenges of planning in Cyprus: a historical narrative of Limassol’s urban development
Abstract:
This paper describes the factors that influenced urban development in Cypriot cities and how the Cypriot planning system evolved to address such factors. Limassol is chosen as the case study for an in–depth approach in order to come to general but precise conclusions. The paper offers an interpretive–historical narrative of the urban development of the city from the latter part of the Ottoman period to the present day in order to understand the mechanism through which Cypriot cities have grown and the role of planning in shaping their form and influencing how they function. The objective is to provide a comprehensive description of factors, mechanisms and actors involved in the emergence and transformation of Limassol, and in particular the role of planning in its historical evolution and in more recent regeneration and development projects. The narrative was constructed using a variety of primary and secondary sources, including travellers' reports, historical cartography, press articles and interviews with expert stakeholders. The paper concludes with an assessment of the current state of planning in Cyprus, its potential future directions, and remarks on the effectiveness of the narrative in interpreting causal pathways of development and evaluating the impact of planning actions and policies.

Title: Parallel and overlapping temporalities of city fabric, the New York Parkway Odyssey: 1870s–2000s
Abstract:
By revisiting its history from 1870 down to the present, this essay examines the role played by the figure of the parkway – both as idea and as object – in the urban development of the New York metropolitan area. It is the ‘Odyssey’ that interests us here: from the emergence of the Brooklyn parkways designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, to the invention as a total project of the first modern parkway along the Bronx river, from the deployment of a system of regional parkways planned by Robert Moses in the 1930s to its obliteration in the face of the prominent development of highways, followed by the first attempts to rehabilitate historic parkways in the 1970s, when the city was going through a major crisis. Today, the renewed interest of designers and historians has made the parkway an important part of the heritage of urban planning, confronted with major projects and operations that mobilize different scales, uses and disciplines, between conflicting urban policies and temporal shifts. By looking back on its past and projecting its future, the inventory of the New York Parkway history provides valuable lessons with regard to the global changes affecting the contemporary city.

Title: Development cooperation and national planning: analysing Finnish complicity in postcolonial Tanzania’s decentralization reform and regional development
Abstract:
Architecture and planning projects dominated Finnish-Tanzanian development cooperation in the 1970s. While few previous connections between Finland and sub-Saharan Africa existed, the adoption of international aid operations in Finnish foreign policy provided a pathway for architects and planners to partake in the nation-building endeavours of socialist Tanzania. Through archival analysis, this paper provides a comprehensive perspective into how a Finnish development cooperation agency and development employees (architects included) worked for the benefit of the implementation of Tanzanian socialist policy and aimed to advance regional development as well as to serve the purposes of ujamaa and the authoritarian one-party governance system. The Uhuru Corridor Regional Physical Plan (1975–1978) that followed became the first attempt at large-scale regional planning in Tanzania and attempted to establish regional planning as a solid part of state management. The paper suggests that within the framework of national planning, the difference between a development cooperation project and a planning project is obscure, and it demonstrates that basing research on the conceptual likenesses between planning and development can provide fruitful approaches to planning history.

Title: ‘Between the devil and the Bay of Bengal’: the Ford Foundation and the politics of planning in post-Independence Calcutta
Abstract:
From 1960–1973, the Ford Foundation and the Calcutta Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMPO) engaged in a unique partnership that produced the Basic Development Plan, a bold strategy for the development of the world’s ‘most troubled city.’ The Ford-CMPO partnership brought together leading planning experts from the United States and India and resulted in innovative and abortive development plans and programmes, and was beset by the economic and political crises that came to define post-Independence Calcutta. This paper provides a detailed history of the Ford-CMPO partnership and highlights the myriad of political dilemmas that challenged the project and that provide a window in the politics of planning and urban development in post-Independence India.

Title: Hebei New Area in Tianjin, 1902–1912 – implementing Japanese commercial and industrial urban planning ideas in China
Abstract:
A transnational flow of capital exchange during the 19th and early 20th centuries brought planning ideas and modernity into China. Since European countries and America used violence to place China into a colonial world and its forms of power-knowledge, the existing works too often focus on the impact of the ‘west’, treating the Chinese as passive recipients who responded to ‘western’ transnational planning ideas, while neglecting the transnational flow of Intra-Asia. By exploring the formation of urbanism in Hebei New Area in Tianjin, this article reveals that the Chinese did not allow themselves to be dictated to by the planning ideas emanating from the west. Instead, they both sought the most suitable ideas based on their local situations and actively imported planning ideas from the east – Japan. The authorities in Tianjin sent officials to Japan to draw upon Japanese industrial and commercial planning models to set up their own organizational framework, urban built environments, and operational management. Consequently, they incorporated planning ideas from the ‘east’ to re-organize the daily life of the masses and modernize their city. These ideas were juxtaposed with ideas from the ‘west’ to shape the urbanism of Tianjin.

Title: The patchwork planning of a welfare landscape: reappraising the role of leisure planning in the Swedish welfare state
Abstract:
The public memory of the social democratic welfare state in Sweden often emphasizes housing, but in fact post-war planning was far more diverse. One asset which postwar planning developed over time was a landscape that materialized a range of different concerns over welfare. Even today, the impressive investments in recreational facilities and green spaces made during the high point of welfarist planning in Sweden still provides the backbone of Sweden’s recreational infrastructure and areas for outdoor leisure and play. This paper highlights ‘leisure planning’ as a forgotten aspect of the postwar decades, and argues that the relationship between urban planning and leisure planning speaks to the patchwork character of the welfare landscape and explains why it remains elusive or even invisible in the current debate. We illustrate the making of welfare landscapes by analyzing developments in Upplands Väsby municipality, focusing on the complex interplay between leisure planning and urban planning from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Title: Planning and damming: know-how, logistics, and organization of Italian corporates in Africa
Abstract:
This contribution offers a new perspective on the planning of post-colonial Africa focusing on the role of Italy. Weak and underdeveloped due to significant war losses, Italy could not rely on the investment potential of its Atlantic allies. Moreover, after WWII, its political influence across the continent had substantially reduced to zero. Yet, it emerged as an unexpected outsider whose eccentric – and somehow contradictory – position has been often largely underestimated. The peculiarity of the Italian condition, in fact, has been crucial to implement and put the Atlantic developmental vision in practice. To some extents, Italy has been the veritable builder of post-colonial Africa, first as a free-lance actor and then as a partner of the global agencies (IBRD, UNESCO) involved in the re-making of the continent. How could a nation substantially underdeveloped like Italy emerge as one of the leaders in implementing development planning actions abroad, although not being directly involved in decision-making process? This paper aims at answering these questions focusing on logistical, organizational and planning competences deployed by Italian corporates and technicians during the construction of four African major dams, between 1956 and 1966.

Title: Vienna’s planning history: periodizing stable phases of regulating urban development, 1820–2020
Abstract:
This paper presents a periodized overview of two centuries of urban planning in Vienna, providing an entry point for scholars approaching the city from an historically informed perspective. It begins with introducing a way of systematizing and periodizing stable formations and transitions of a time- and place-specific configuration of urban planning. Combining the ASID heuristic with an Historical-Institutionalist and Strategic-Relational-Institutionalist perspective, it depicts the following planning phases in Vienna: Capitalist Land Management (1829–1858), Urban Design (1858–1919), Social Planning (1919–1934), Fascist Planning (1934–1945), Modernist Expert Planning (1945–1972), Comprehensive Planning (1972–2000), and Strategic Management (since 2000). To conclude, the paper debates the value of periodized planning history for planning research, planning practice, and comparative planning history.

Title: Global ideas and cultural responsiveness: why new towns in Israel and Brazil are not the same
Abstract:
This paper explores how local culture may curb the homogenizing forces of globalization in the diffusion of planning ideas. Given that the built environment is constructed both physically and culturally, this paper draws a comparative case study of territorial planning and the creation of new towns in Israel and Brazil in the mid-twentieth century. The private colonization scheme in northern Paraná state, in Brazil, and the Physical Planning in Israel were both based on widely influential ideas collected in the Greater London Plan 1944. Although the resulting regional strategies were similar, their urban forms differed largely due to their unique modes of being-in-the-world. While the Israeli new towns acclimatized the physical aspects of garden cities for ideological reasons, the Brazilian new cities stuck to a more practical gridiron layout. As a conclusion, this study illustrates how culturally sensitive projects gave local form to ideas and models that had been diffused through global interconnectivity.

Title: Rödabergsområdet: a verdant small town idyll within the city
Abstract:
On the rocky peaks of the hilly area in north-western outskirts Stockholm, more than forty architects gave their contribution to approximately 2,500 dwelling units comprising the neighbourhood so-called Rödabergsområdet, which corresponds to one of the longest-pondered and biggest housing plans of the 1910s and 1920s, although its knowledge is still limited outside Nordic countries. The shape of the district stems from progressive refinements and conflations: from the first proposal (1906–1909) by the Swedish urban planner Per Olof Hallman, via crucial improvements by the architect Sigurd Lewerentz (1921) down to integrations (1922 and 1928) by the team of the Stockholm City Building Board.This contribution sheds new light on urban design history and development of the residential estate via key findings: on the one hand, some drawings and texts from Hallman’s collection (Stockholm Stadsarkiv) as well as drawings and photos of the H.S.B. housing cooperative archive (Centrum för Näringslivshistoria), and, on the other hand, the never-discovered four drawings plates of Lewerentz (ArkDes, Stockholm) that for the first time demonstrate how his design inputs affected significantly the district layout. Organic and structured in form, Rödabergsområdet belongs as much to the collective memory and cultural heritage of Stockholm as to the cityscape.

Title: Spatial Transformation of Tehran between two political upheavals (1953-1979); an analytical approach to making a middle eastern metropolitan region
Abstract:
Tehran experienced a seismic shift in its physical and spatial growth during the second Pahlavi dynasty between two political upheavals, the 1953 coup and the 1979 revolution. Over this period, the city was transformed from a monocentric city into a sprawled metropolitan region. The root cause of this is one of the interesting research topics in Iranian urbanization history. By focusing on this specific period, this paper illuminates the role of socio-economic and political backgrounds and their outcomes in the spatial transformation of Tehran. To better understand the role of the main players and their policies and decisions in forming Tehran metropolitan region, actor-network theory was used to frame all the historical events in a big picture. The results showed that the transformation of Tehran into a sprawled and fragmented metropolitan region was brought about by two asymmetrical and opposite process from top-down and bottom-up socio-political streams in which on the one hand the Shah and various governments strategized urban development pattern and tried to manage and control the city growth, and on the other hand, poor migrants and overlooked citizens resisted the top-down policies and formed their own way of planning, making a regional dispersed landscape for Tehran.

Title: Revisiting the Australian Government’s Growth Centres programme 1972–1975
Abstract:
From 1973 to 1975 a new Australian Government led by Gough Whitlam actively pursued plans to develop regional and sub-metropolitan Growth Centres with significantly boosted populations following a national strategy published in June 1973 which mapped a national coverage of prospective locations. The intention was for these centres to alleviate pressure on the capital cities considered overcrowded and deteriorating in efficiency and quality of life. The controversial dismissal of the Whitlam Government in 1975 signalled the winding back and effective demise of the programme. This paper examines the population projections for the centres under official consideration to 2000 and their actual growth. Despite the criticisms attached to this programme, several centres came close to achieving their population targets for 2000. Moreover, if Federal Government support had been sustained, more may have exceeded their projections. The implications for a resurgent national settlement policy are considered.

Title: ‘University in the city’: Percy Johnson-Marshall and the reconstruction of Edinburgh’s South Side, 1961–76
Abstract:
In 1962, the University of Edinburgh proposed that the area adjacent to its central campus should be designated as a Comprehensive Development Area, with the planner (and university senior lecturer) Percy Johnson-Marshall showing how historic tenements could be replaced by a new urban landscape of slab blocks situated on an elevated pedestrian podium above new roads, creating a seamless continuum between the university and the city. The proposals sit alongside contemporaneous ‘paper’ renewal projects, including SPUR’s plans for Boston Manor and the proposals of the 1963 Buchanan Report. Drawing on the archive, the article explores the genesis of the scheme, the terms in which it was presented to the public, and the reaction it gained. It also considers how and why the proposals were abandoned in the early 1970s. At its core, the article reflects on the often messy processes which shaped urban renewal in 1960s and 1970s Britain, the continuities of the period, and the value of looking to the specific local factors which explain why particular approaches were taken.

Title: Protecting neighbourhood character while allowing growth? Pike/Pine Conservation Overlay District, Seattle, Washington
Abstract:
The City of Seattle created the Pike/Pine Conservation Overlay District in 2009 to preserve the character of the Pike/Pine Corridor (neighbourhood) while simultaneously accommodating substantial growth in the number of residents and the size of buildings. Pike/Pine is known for its adaptively reused collection of early twentieth century ‘Auto Row’ buildings and for the diversity of its population. Since the year 2000, proximity to downtown has made this area attractive for development, and the city has designated Pike/Pine as a growth centre in its comprehensive plan. The city’s implementation of the Pike/Pine Conservation Overlay District (one of the first uses of a conservation district in a commercial/mixed-use neighbourhood in the United States) seeks to address the conflict inherent in accommodating growth while simultaneously trying to protect older architecture, small-scale local businesses, and a diverse mix of housing. This article analyses the elements and impacts of this unusual district, considering its application of façade retention for townscape conservation as well as analysing its broad approach within the framework of integrated conservation. This article argues that the Pike/Pine Conservation Overlay District offers a useful case study for other cities looking to support growth while also retaining elements of the past.

Title: Unpacking the intricacies of urban development in Eswatini: from fragmentation to integration
Abstract:
It is well acknowledged that most African cities are inheritors of colonial systems of administration, legislation, policy and plans. In most of them, this inheritance has not changed, even though it is several decades after gaining independence. As a result, many scholars have tended to overemphasize the influence of the colonizers, precluding an analysis of the ability of indigenous populations to resist, reimagine and remake colonial visions of urban life. Invariably, customary tenure and traditional authority have been treated with some ambivalence in the literature on land in Africa and are often seen respectively as unregulated capital or associated with colonial repression holding back the ability of poor people to prosper. Based on archival and desktop research, this paper examines the ways in which indigenous expressions of urban life have both subverted and been subverted by the British colonial project in Eswatini since the colonial period. The paper argues that while many of the categories and divisions of (settler) colonial rule are still visible in Eswatini, the Swazis have engaged neo-customary practices through kukhonta system centred on the role of the chiefs to reimagine and remake urban life.

Title: The urban parks in Nanjing, 1900s–2000s: a brief introduction
Abstract:
During the twentieth century Chinese urban parks germinated and then flourished against the backdrop of fluctuating social and political contexts. This short-narrative outlines the history of Nanjing’s urban parks from the 1900s to 2000s. Its broad chronological phases can be summed up as follows: Initialization propelled by the early modernization (mid-nineteenth century -1911), Embodied nationalism in the capital’s construction (1912–1937), Desolate and stagnant places: the 2nd Sino-Japanese war and the Liberation War (1937–1949), Merit, then evil in the fluctuating propagandas (1949–1979), Commercialized and open space (1980s–2000s). The establishment and transformation of urban parks in Nanjing is mainly attributed to the elite, authorities and planners’ interweaving involvements etching on the urban palimpsest and historical geographical features, conditioned by the unstable social-political process.

Title: On Foucault and Brazilian Urbanismo: a genealogy of city planning in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo (c. 1850s–1945)
Abstract:
This article identifies and discusses some of the ideas of Michel Foucault and applies them to the history of Brazilian city planning. It is argued and shown that the theoretical framework developed in his work provides a useful insight for the understanding of the discourse on city planning in Brazil. I discuss concepts created by Foucault such as discipline and bio-power applying them to the planning history of mainly Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, but also providing insights on Recife, analysing episodes of interventions in Brazilian cities.

Title: Transformation of urban green spaces from a historical perspective in Veszprém, Hungary
Abstract:
Urban green network has significantly changed through history due to ideological, functional and geographical reasons. The present paper brings an example of a Hungarian town, Veszprém, where the determining factors are visible through historical (cadastral, military, topographical) maps, historical photo archives and statistical data. The results are compared with the example of the capital, Budapest and put into a European context. It is obvious that after WWII the development of the urban green network in Veszprém is different from European trends. This development can be categorized into 5 periods: Organic growth, Stagnation, Pathfinding, Selective development, Postmodern. The paper not only draws attention to the importance of the characteristics in urban green network development, but also highlights the problem of growing artificial surfaces and decreasing urban green plots in the urban fabric.

Title: ‘Third Front’ construction in China: planning the industrial towns during the Cold War (1964–1980)
Abstract:
As a strategic adjustment to China’s national defence, economic and construction policy for military purposes, the ‘Third Front’ construction programme (1964–1980) had a profound impact on the country’s industrial layout and urban-rural relation. The built environment of this era represents the spatial orientation and strategy of China’s ‘road to socialism’ during the Cold War. Through a historical review and field investigation, this study summarises the characteristics of Third Front construction with reference to the ‘new socialist industrial mining bases’ that emerged from the paradigm shift in China’s urban planning. By analyzing spatial patterns and the language of spatial design from a historical perspective, this study sheds light on China’s socialist architectural and planning discourse and supplements the existing scholarship on Cold War architectural historiography.

Title: Managed retreat in response to flooding: lessons from the past for contemporary climate change adaptation
Abstract:
Managed retreat is increasingly advocated as a means to promote resilience and adaptation to climate change. However, there are various uncertainties and challenges associated with the impacts of displacement and attachments to place. In this context, it is useful to study past examples of relocation to understand how these challenges have been addressed. This paper draws on a case study relocation scheme which took place in Ireland following major flooding in 1954. This represented a radical and comprehensive approach to relocation which sought to address the root causes of vulnerability. The analysis shows that this comprehensive approach was made possible through a connection between managed retreat and land reform. The scheme also faced opposition linked to attachments to place and property. This led to compromises and a failure to fully address the effects of flooding on livelihoods but contributed to resilience through ensuring that family and community ties remained intact. The paper’s distinctive contributions are its analysis of the requirements of transformative approaches to adaptation and relocation, its identification of challenges associated with place and property even in the context of such transformative approaches, and its adding of historical depth to contemporary debates on climate adaptation.

Title: Consumption crusade: the influence of tuberculosis on the emergence of town planning in South Australia, 1890–1918
Abstract:
At the turn of the twentieth century, town planning and public health ideals coalesced, with health and environmental reformers working in concert to promote goals of healthy and sanitary towns for all. Focussing on South Australia, this article demonstrates how pulmonary tuberculosis lay at the heart of many strategies suggested by doctors, sanitarians, architects, and advocates for the nascent town planning profession. Tuberculosis, as the biggest killer of that era, had no cure, so prevention and treatment relied on behavioural and environmental interventions. Light, air and space were central to treatment regimens, with the trio also forming the basis for the environmental planning qualities put forward by town planning reformers who hoped to create a preventative environment. Reformers believed they could achieve healthier living conditions and help conquer tuberculosis through the means of housing improvement, slum clearance, open space provision and street layout with all of these combining in garden city and suburb design. This article explores the work of health and town planning advocates in South Australia in order to uncover just how much the fight against tuberculosis influenced the beginnings of the crusade for town planning.

Title: Epidemics, the issue of control and the grid: a nineteenth-century perspective from Buenos Aires
Abstract:
This article uses several epidemics that beset Buenos Aires between 1867 and 1871 as a lens through which to investigate a period in which urban elites registered with both anxiety and exhilaration the changes that their city was undergoing. In an effort to limit the spread of disease, elites noticed that the growing number of inhabitants and the connected anonymity had rendered their traditional system of social control obsolete. One of the main features of this traditional system consisted of a usage of space that relied on the city's grid plan. During the epidemics, some among the elites protested against the ineffectiveness of this system, which in their eyes pertained to the older ancien régime tradition. Notwithstanding their efforts, they failed to implement concrete alternatives. They were nonetheless able to express a new urban imaginary, which they viewed as more apt to respond to the new challenges engendered by the new big-city dimension. Connecting these findings with the wider debate on the history of grid plans, the article argues that this imaginary was related to a new conception of the grid that did not replace previous conceptions and practices of urban control, but rather overlapped and intertwined with them.

Title: Influenza pandemic and the development of public health infrastructure in Bombay city, 1919–1935
Abstract:
The arrival of the influenza pandemic and the end of the First World War had a definite impact on the policies associated with the development of public health infrastructure in the inter-war period. The influenza pandemic was crucial in generating awareness about the insufficient medical relief infrastructure for a city like Bombay (present day Mumbai) with a growing population. In this paper, I therefore elaborate on the politics surrounding funding of public health and development of hospitals in interwar Bombay. The paper uses health planning in the aftermath of the influenza pandemic as a lens to understand colonial power and transitioning governance in the late colonial period. It evaluates how colonialism operated through health planning and how it catalyzed the transformation of power relations between colonial and local Indian powers. Secondly, I argue that, while the government authorities designed plans, it was the native population that bore the financial responsibility of these projects. It becomes evident that the unwillingness displayed by the colonial state to improve healthcare infrastructure resulted in the native inhabitants taking it upon themselves to cater to the demands of the general population.

Title: The pathogenic city: disease, dirt and the planning of Dublin’s Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Markets
Abstract:
Public health crises always have a visual impact on cities. Examples can be short lived, such as the signage encouraging social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic. Other effects can be long lasting. During waves of epidemics over the nineteenth century in Dublin, Ireland, officials responded with projects such as fever hospitals. At first glance, market halls do not seem to correspond with these kinds of emergency initiatives. Markets are lasting fixtures of everyday life in cities, and they typically embody notions of sustenance and nourishment rather than disease. Yet in Dublin, the planning of covered markets is bound to the histories of infectious disease and epidemics. This article uses the storey of one market hall in Dublin, the City Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Markets, as a lens to elucidate the intersection of public health and urban planning between 1850 and 1900. Market halls are rarely planned as clean slates: historically, they typically stand in places that hold close connections to buying and selling. As such, purpose-built halls should not be read simply as urban, commercial interventions, but instead as buildings that monumentalize in three dimensions emergent social and moral conventions about public health in the context of the crowded city.

Title: The biogeopolitics of cities: a critical enquiry across Jerusalem, Phnom Penh, Toronto
Abstract:
Dwelling on a disciplinary threshold between urban planning and urban health, we take a comparative historical perspective on the urban development of three cities – Jerusalem, Phnom Penh and Toronto – highlighting how the evolution of their socio-spatial fabrics has been shaped by decisively biopolitical approaches. In line with current studies, we remark how the will to control the cities’ territories and populations has intertwined with policy concerns over urban health, and discourses on the need to isolate urban environments – artificially or rhetorically constructed as unhealthy. We propose, however, a shift toward the concept of urban biogeopolitics – noticing how the present-day Covid-19 outbreak has exposed the limits of biopolitical analyses, and of their dichotomic understanding of inner vs. outer forms of power and control. Biogeopolitics becomes therefore a powerful conceptual lens to explain how past crises and the current one have transcended the boundaries of what we are accustomed to understand as urban realm. How do biogeopolitical discourses and technologies become instrumental in the control of urban territories and their populations? How, in other words, are urban planning and urban health affected by regional and trans-local forces?

Title: Unsettling a sanitary enclave: malaria at Mian Mir (1849–1910)
Abstract:
The military cantonment of Mian Mir was planned and built in the 1850s about six miles outside the urban area of Lahore as an ordered and sanitary environment for officers and troops – away from the presumed miasmas and unhealthiness of the old city. Yet not long after, a complex interplay of existing and emergent socio-material ecologies, particularly linked to canal irrigation, ensured that malaria became a defining feature of life at Mian Mir. This paper examines the evolving relationships of colonial planning and development, ecological change, and medical knowledge, showing how malaria and mosquitoes unsettled the dominant aesthetics of urban space and landscape, linked to frameworks of sanitation and improvement. It shows how aspirations for spatial order, environmental healthiness, and racial segregation, central to the regimes of colonial sanitary planning and hygienic modernity, were contoured and reconfigured in materially situated ways.

Title: Planning history and everyday urban change: an appreciation of J.W.R. Whitehand (1938–2021)
Abstract:
Jeremy Whitehand died suddenly in June 2021 just short of his 83rd birthday. He was a world-leading figure in urban morphology and his disciplinary home was urban geography, but he was a founder-member of the Planning History Group (forerunner of IPHS). This appreciation explores his work and the centrality of a planning history perspective in his approach to studying urban form. In retirement he was making headway in introducing this research-based, historically-informed perspective into planning and urban decision-making through UNESCO, in the UK, in Romania and especially in China.

Title: Hypochondria as a form factor: The role of colonial anxieties as shapers of buildings and urban spaces in British Africa
Abstract:
The paper explores the role played by hypochondria, defined as the preoccupation with fears of having, or the idea that one has, a serious disease based on the person's misinterpretation of bodily symptoms, in the definition of buildings and urban spaces throughout the history of British presence in the tropics, with a special regard to the African continent. From the medical and hygiene experts to the army engineers and the establishment of Tropical Architecture the relationship with the climatic and health conditions of the tropical belt has triggered fears and anxieties that have often prevented the definition of solutions. This paper shows how the scientific attitude that has characterized the exploration and settlement of tropical areas has not been a steady process but rather a complex mix of fears, false truths, wrong beliefs and slow improvements.

Title: The cleanliness of otherness: epidemics, informal urbanization and urban degeneration in early twentieth-century Madrid
Abstract:
In the first few decades of the twentieth century, makeshift shelters known as chozas grew in Madrid. Using historical monographs and the press as main sources, in this article we discuss the influence of medical thinking on the problematisation and eradication of this form of urban growth. During the nineteenth century, scientific racism identified poor housing areas as a source of disease and immorality, yet the public powers in Madrid tolerated and overlooked the development of these spaces until the early twentieth century. It was only when the fear of epidemics and warnings from the press became too great that the authorities began to implement various high-profile ‘sanitary campaigns’ to destroy the shacks. Although these initiatives did not solve the sanitation problems because the deprived populations frequently constructed new living areas, the continued efforts of the public authorities succeeded in displacing the shantytowns to the less regulated periphery. Whilst the spaces were transformed, the representations that signalled them as pathological spaces seems to have remained. Research on the historical eradication of urban ‘otherness’ allows us to discuss the legacy of the medical theories that supported it and the influence of this on current prejudices regarding disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

Title: Yaba housing scheme and the colonial ‘re-planning’ of Lagos, 1917–1952
Abstract:
The paper is a discussion of the urban renewal strategy of the colonial government of Lagos between 1917 and 1952, against the backdrop of 'slum dwelling', 'overcrowding', and 'insanitary conditions' on the Lagos Island and the plan to develop Yaba Estate for the housing of those displaced on the Island. The paper argues that even though from the colonial government's perception, it was 'very urgent' to embark on serious urban renewal policy to ameliorate the 'terrible condition' on the Lagos Island, the method employed by the colonial government for the re-housing of people at Yaba failed initially because of colonial government's policy of leasehold. This made it impossible for the displaced people to take up residence at Yaba with serious spatial implications for the urban development of Lagos. As they looked elsewhere for abode, they replicated the same problems that the colonial government was trying to abate on the Lagos Island.

Title: ‘Beyond repair’: modernism, renewal and the conservation of Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market, 1967–76
Abstract:
The important role of citizen movements towards dissolving the conceptual and practical imperatives of urban modernism during the 1960s and 1970s is widely accepted. However, the ideological impulses and social character shaping this movement are less known, particularly in the Australian context. Amid the growing discontent towards modernism and renewal, the outlooks of resident and voluntary organizations had the potential to intersect with the perspectives of government and development bodies: both sought to achieve vibrant, prosperous, and fashionable urban environments. The intersections of these seemingly opposed points of view demonstrates that it could be simultaneously envisioned that either by encouraging or obstructing renewal, Melbourne had the potential to harness the latest international trends in urban ideas, economy and design. Adopting the case study of the nineteenth-century Queen Victoria Market, a fresh food market on Melbourne’s city edge marked for renewal to facilitate the expansion of the CBD, the article demonstrates that both overlapping and competing interests marked the end of modernism. It also identifies ensuing conceptual and practical opportunities for governance, development, design, conservation and community involvement, which facilitated the flourishing in urban thought, policy and participation in 1970s Australia.

Title: From monumentality to diversity – Lourenço Marques between the urban plans of Aguiar and Azevedo (1950-1970)
Abstract:
The General Urban Development Plan for Lourenço Marques (today Maputo) was approved on 25th April 1955. Coordinated by architect João Aguiar, director of the Colonial Planning Office. it was developed based on the first urban plan for the city, which had been drawn up by Joaquim José Machado and António José de Araújo in 1887. A further new Master Plan for Lourenço Marques was drawn up between 1967 and 1969. This new one was the last before Mozambique gained independence in 1975 and it was drafted by a specialist team coordinated by the engineer and urbanist Mário de Azevedo. The orientations applied in Aguiar’s Urban Plan were quite distinct from those of Azevedo's Master Plan. The innovative element was that it opposed the ‘conception of a city closed in on itself, limited in size and structure’. Azevedo's plan furthered a regional interpretation of the territory and placed the emphasis on the provision of an entire transport infrastructure network by land, sea, and air. This paper seeks to throw light on the evolution of Portuguese urbanism in the Portuguese African colonies in the last years of colonization with a view to highlighting the different approaches.

Title: Housing Haussmann’s Paris: the politics and legacy of Second Empire redevelopment
Abstract:
Georges-Eugène Haussmann’s tenure as Prefect of the Seine from 1853 to 1870 has been widely associated with the modernization of Paris. In this paper, we contextualize and evaluate the prefect’s intentions and policies related to housing by bringing archival documents into conversation with nineteenth-century commentary on Haussmann’s activities, ensuing scholarship investigating the era, and spatial analysis, with a focus on a case-study site in the 13th arrondissement. This examination yields three core claims. First, in exploring the context of Haussmann's projects, we argue that the Second Empire's expropriation, clearance, and construction were partly motivated by an interest in ensuring a greater quantity and quality of housing in Paris at reduced costs, or, at least, were presented as such. Second, in evaluating the impact of Haussmann’s work, we argue that projects did not solely result in mass displacement and social recomposition through urban redevelopment, but also sometimes reaffirmed pre-existing demographic distributions, or were constructed on greenfield land. Finally, in reflecting on Haussmann's legacy on contemporary social housing politics, we argue that the prefect's enduring influence can be read both in the rhetoric used to justify present-day projects and also, in select cases, the location of sites chosen for them.

Title: The shape of things to come, Hong Kong's infrastructural city fabric: 1989–2020
Abstract:
In revisiting the metamorphosis of Hong Kong's air infrastructure, this article explores the transition over the past thirty years that has seen the City–State transformed by a multi-faceted process. This has been the instrument of its metropolization within the context of its handover to China and its 'integration' within the Pearl River Delta Megalopolis. Given the political backdrop, the history of its formation is fraught with controversy concerning the urban development challenges inherent in the archipelago's future. This essay sheds light on these through an analysis of the infrastructure-based reform discourse that underpinned it and its effects on the production of the city. While infrastructure was changing the urban geography, it was simultaneously being shaped according to its context; as the city colonized it, the two merged into a single whole whose boundaries shifted and recomposed over time as the infrastructure was rolled out. This article tells the story of this trajectory and what it says about the role of infrastructure in metropolitan transformation processes, just as questions were being raised over the future of Hong Kong as a global city.

Title: Skelmersdale: design and implementation of a British new town, 1961–1985
Abstract:
New towns were a cornerstone of the post-war British planning system, but despite being both praised and derided, are in reality little understood. Research has focused on a few iconic examples, such as Cumbernauld and Milton Keynes, neglecting other new towns. Recent proposals to establish new development corporations in the Oxford-Cambridge Arc mean that an examination of new town design and implementation is particularly timely. This article responds by assessing the design and implementation of Skelmersdale New Town, near Liverpool, a little-studied example designated in 1961 and built out by its development corporation until 1985. Skelmersdale’s design reflected the context of early 1960s modernism, embodying the priorities of its architect-planner, Hugh Wilson – full automobility, urban character and compactness – over the local context. The subsequent implementation of Wilson’s design demonstrated the development corporation’s dependence on central government: it succeeded in providing housing, industrial premises and road infrastructure, but struggled to achieve the planned-for urban character. Skelmersdale’s experience reveals that while comprehensive modernist planning was a powerful tool in creating housing and infrastructure, it was limited by its inability to fully predict future economic and political conditions, and by the shifting attention of central government.

Title: A New Town and a numbers game: Runcorn, Merseyside, and Liverpool
Abstract:
This paper is skeptical about attributing welfarist motivations to Britain’s second generation of New Tows, initiated in the 1960s. Focusing specifically on the Runcorn New Town in North West England, on the outskirts of Liverpool, the paper examines its designation and development in the context of what scholars have called ‘the numbers game’, referring to the party-political competition that dramatically escalated annual housebuilding targets throughout the early decades of postwar Britain. The first section covers the negotiation of an ‘overspill’ programme for Merseyside in the mid 1950s. The second section covers the sea change that arrived with the ratcheting of the numbers game by Conservative Minister of Housing Keith Joseph in the early 1960s. The third section details the slum clearance programme adopted by Liverpool in 1966. And the final section addresses the consequences of an economic crisis at the end of the decade that brought the numbers game to a close. The paper concludes that Runcorn’s growth was indexed less to a housing emergency than to the coupling of political maneuvering with capitalist logic, and it argues for a revised historiographical perspective in which Runcorn’s decline is read as a consequence of these conditions.

Title: Planning capital cities: a cultural district in Canada’s capital region
Abstract:
This paper investigates issues of national identity and multi-level governance within Confederation Boulevard, the heart of Canada's National Capital Region. We develop a framework that combines the literature on cultural districts and multi-level governance and analyse the plans written by the National Capital Commission (NCC) from the 1980s to the 2010s. Through the lens of cultural districts, we focus on urban form as a whole, instead of considering just specific artifacts or buildings, and uncover how over time the NCC is designing a representation of national identity moving towards multiculturalism. Moreover, the lens of cultural districts delineates a space for multi-level governance revealing the emergence of dynamics of negotiation among different levels of government towards territorial cooperation. This analysis of Confederation Boulevard contributes to the literature on planning capital cities beyond the specific case, adding to our understanding of (1) urban representation of national identity and (2) dynamics of a layered governance.

Title: Recent evolution of housing finance policy and development agendas in Mexico
Abstract:
Political and economic reforms to open and liberalize Mexico’s economy drove federal administrations to promote mortgage expansion and mass housing production at an unprecedented pace since around the turn of the millennium. This allowed a select group of housing development companies to grow considerably through the construction and sale of homes for lower-middle income households. The country’s housing finance and development model was eventually rendered unsustainable given onerous mortgage terms for households, substandard housing production in remote locations, leverage issues and speculative practices on the part of developers. Subsequent administrations modified their approach to managing, promoting, and restricting housing finance and production, highlighting the influence of political actors and regimes in addressing the tensions between economic pressures and social concerns. Shifting sociopolitical dynamics have continued to transform housing finance policy agendas. While the reach and implications of recent changes have not fully materialized, this paper highlights the fluctuating and unstable nature of housing finance and its contingency on the different political and ideological inclinations of national (and subnational) governments – and the push of their constituents.

Title: For the defence of Florence: site-specific urbanism versus sanitary planning
Abstract:
This paper focuses on reactions to the modernization and hygienist plans that transformed the city centre of Florence during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Particular attention is paid to the Associazione di Difesa di Firenze Antica, founded in 1898 to counter the second phase of the risanamento (sanitary planning) of the historic centre, and in close collaboration with the foreign communities living in the city. The protest against the destruction of ancient buildings gave rise to a new awareness, with the notion of heritage going beyond individual monuments to include the city as a whole. The article studies both the arguments advanced and the political and cultural context which were favourable to the preservation of the old urban fabric. Beyond conservation, the fight to save Florence provided an opportunity to outline an urban project based on the historical analysis of the existing buildings and the enhancement of local characteristics. The specificities of Florence – one of the first ‘art cities’, considered in the peninsula to be the Athens of Italy and linked early on to international tourism – made it one of the laboratories of a heritage urbanism linked to the international Art Public movement.

Title: The Hispanic International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF-H). A platform for dialogue between urban planners and urban form researchers in Spanish-speaking countries
Abstract:
This paper is aimed at introducing the readers of Planning Perspectives to the Hispanic International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF-H), a network for urban studies from morphological perspectives in Spanish-speaking countries. The platform is framed within the context of the research carried out at ISUF and its relationships with other schools and traditions of urban forms. The paper considers the themes and approaches presented at the ISUF-H conferences in Toledo (2016), Zaragoza (2018), Guadalajara-Mexico (2019), Barcelona (2020) and San José-Costa Rica (2021). In general, the diversity and vitality of research in the Spanish language is confirmed with the emergence and renewal of the themes and methodologies of analysis and eclectic approaches – with those of architects and urban planners dominating over those of geographers and specialists from other disciplines; this, in turn, demonstrates that barriers in the multidisciplinary dialogue remain and are an important challenge. Retrospective views and diagnoses based on the analysis of urban forms coexist with forward-looking views that consider current urban processes. The challenges of the ISUF-H are, therefore, akin to those of the ISUF, but also complementary, since they acknowledge the need to promote inclusive and multidisciplinary views over sectorial ones and to expand the anglophone field to include research carried out in Spanish-speaking countries.

Title: The art of preserving and building cities in Italy (1860–1930): legacies and actors
Abstract:
In the context of early twentieth century Italy, Gustavo Giovannoni (1873–1947) played a pivotal role. Father of artistic city building and urban conservation in Italy, founder of its first School of Architecture (in Rome in 1920) and of a holistic approach to architecture, conservation and planning through l’architetto integrale (see below), his work had a long-lasting appeal which also stemmed from his contribution to the 1939 Italian law on landscape preservation, later extended also to historic urban contexts. He died in 1947, but it was only in the late sixties that his legacy was recognized first by Manfredo Tafuri and later -for the French audience- by Françoise Choay. After decades of damnatio memoriae –partially due to his biographical correspondence with Fascism– scholarly research reassessed his multistranded contribution.

Title: Building the capital city: Maria Ponti Pasolini, the Passeggiata Archeologica and the planning of Rome (1887-1917)
Abstract:
This contribution focuses on what was an topical subject in Rome in the first half of the twentieth century: urban green areas and their relationship with monuments. Interest in this topic was probably inspired by the traditional approach popular in nineteenth-century England, one which several members of the Roman cultural elite who studied vegetation and gardens (Giacomo Boni and Maria Ponti Pasolini) had become acquainted with thanks to the close ties they had established with English professionals. Since the unification of Italy, Rome had raised the issue of the inseparable relationship that city ruins had with vegetation; in fact, the 1873 master plan already contained guidelines regarding the layout of urban gardens, preferably using an English style. These guidelines played a crucial role in city planning and in creating unique areas, such as the Passeggiata Archeologica (the Archaeological Park, also known as the Zona Monumentale). The paper will focus on these developments and on the work of the people involved in these projects such as, Giacomo Boni, Maria Ponti Pasolini and Gustavo Giovannoni, all members of the Artistic Association of Architectural Connoisseurs – the AACAR founded in Rome in 1890, in order to follow the urban development of Italy’s capital city.

Title: Building Roma Capitale: knowing and interpreting the city of the past (1870–1925)
Abstract:
The ‘ambientista’ city of the early twentieth century was a mediated expression of many of Gustavo Giovannoni’s reflections. This paper argues that it can be studied in the light of several earlier events and through numerous archaeological and architectural activities in the newly established capital of Rome. In the progressive definition of the project of the new city, the roles of the urban context, topographical study, philology of monuments, minor architecture and of the constructive fragment are affirmed. Between 1870 and 1925, these issues were central to the work of the Municipal Archaeological Commission and the Artistic Association of Architectural Connoisseurs – AACAR. This text presents some of these trajectories and their outcomes during the first quarter of the twentieth century and the 1930s.

Title: Retrospect and prospect: a review of research contributions on China’s planning history (2011-2020)
Abstract:
This article focuses on the results of published research into China’s urban planning history since 2011. A total of 1,057 articles were selected, including 198 theses, 465 journal papers, and 394 conference papers. It provides quantitative statistics and analysis of the literature, using CiteSpace to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the data. Based on quantitative analysis and supported by the literature, this paper qualitatively concludes and summarizes the research hotspots and evolution of Chinese urban planning history from five dimensions: planning practice, system construction, thought and theory, figures, and discipline. The achievements delve into the exploration of motivations and mechanisms, planning ideology, methodology, practice subjects, and preparation process based on a staged review of the historical process of practice and a summary of its characteristics, which shows a process from partial to holistic and fragmented to systematic in general terms, contributing to the formation of a complete planning history research system. A comprehensive analysis of quantitative statistics, knowledge mapping of literature, and important research content reveals the characteristics of research into the history of Chinese urban planning over the past decade.

Title: Shaping early twentieth century Rome: the AACAR and the contributions of Filippo Galassi and Gustavo Giovannoni
Abstract:
The building of Rome, the new capital of Italy from the 1870s onwards, brought to the foreground the European debate between transformation and conservation. The development of the modern city and its relationship with the ancient historic core marked the Italian cultural scene at the turn of 19th century. Respect for the historical environment was the reference point for the work of numerous technical and artistic associations, which were engaged in the urban transformations of the capital and impacted both on the city's development and wider national debates. Among these, this paper focuses on the Associazione Artistica fra i Cultori di Architettura (AACAR), founded in 1890. The AACAR assumed a central role in the study, protection and design of the city, introducing the practice of building thinning and research into new urban and architectural models for the city's expansion. As influential members of the AACAR, the figures of Filippo Galassi and Gustavo Giovannoni stand out. Through their manifold cultural and institutional activities, their approach to artistic city building influenced the principles of urban and architectural design in the 1910s and 1920s, leaving a long-lasting legacy on Italian urban design.

Title: Planning Venice after the Italian Unification: The Development of a Space-based Identity
Abstract:
The article focuses on the new concept of ‘ambiente urbano’, as emerged at the turn of the last century in Venice. Painters, photographers, and writers contributed to the elaboration of this concept, partly reflected into the new term ‘Venezia minore’. Born out of the conflict initiated in 1885, due to urban modernization projects, these notions were initially based on spatial identity and focused on the less known corners of the city, fostering their conservation. Following 1910, however, architects start applying these concepts to the field of urban design, as shown in the social housing settlement of Sant’ Elena, in the city’s periphery. In the 1940s, there was an attempt to mirror the old into the new, by recreating urban patterns, presumably typical of the old city of Venice. It was until the publication in 1948 of the book Venezia minore analysing in terms of morphology the urban context, that this story was fully elaborated. Highlighting unknown fragments of Venetian contemporary urban history and integrating them to the planning history of the city, this article overcomes the usual antithetical reading of conservation against sanitary planning, throwing light to the Italian concept of ambiente and tracing its history up to the 60s.

Title: L’architetto integrale and Gustavo Giovannoni’s role in education and cultural dissemination
Abstract:
The engineer Gustavo Giovannoni made a decisive contribution to the development of a new professional figure: l’architetto integrale, best described as the all encompassing architect. Under this broad indicative title he envisioned a variety of operational skills that combine the roles of architect, urban planner, historian and restorer. In the context of these multifaceted interests, the essay investigates the centrality of scientific dissemination for Giovannoni. For the sake of accuracy, the term cultural dissemination should be used, as it better conveys the idea of a 360-degree educational project designed for both learned audiences (with a solid scientific background) and non-specialists generally interested in Italian architectural culture, planning history and landscape.Giovannoni’s careful targeting of different audiences is discernable in periodicals and other media chosen to transmit his ideas, from scientific journals to newspapers and national radio programmes. The present essay seeks to investigate the relationship Giovannoni had with the media and his participation in the amateur activities of various cultural and sporting associations, directed towards increasing awareness of Italy’s historical cities and the territory’s natural beauty.

Title: The making of Canberra as captured on film (1900–1945)
Abstract:
This paper traces the Australian capital city of Canberra’s representation through official, government-sponsored, Australian documentary films made between 1900 and 1945. Through a small sample of selected films, that are well preserved and held in the national film archives, we discuss their filmic intention, form, technical production and reception. In these forty plus years which end prior to the advent of technicolour, there was a progression in technical sophistication of the genre from silent to sound, and from newsreel-style reportage of pomp and ceremony towards more informal, aspirational pictures that attempt to conjure how everyday lives could be lived in the fledgling city of Canberra. We suggest that these kinds of films, that might be dismissed as mere propaganda, are useful in adding to our understanding of how documentaries became a tool in the representation and communication of a rapidly shifting national identity, that was advanced concurrently through the planning and building of a new capital city and the evolution of documentary films.

Title: Planning a Christian campus in Quasi-colonial China: Lingnan University, Guangzhou, 1904–1931
Abstract:
Constructed from 1904 to 1931 in Guangzhou, Lingnan University was among the thirteen Christian universities founded by Western missionaries in China. It featured a hybrid campus with ‘Chinese-style’ buildings disposed on a Beaux-Arts planning scheme. This article argues that the campus planning and architectural design of Lingnan University was shaped by the unique quasi-colonial power interactions in Guangzhou involving both cooperation and conflict between multiple forces – Western missionaries and architects, local governments, merchants both local and overseas, and ordinary people in Guangzhou. Responding to the shifting social contexts, Lingnan contributed to the modernization of Guangzhou’s city plan in the early twentieth century. The architectural design of Lingnan University exemplified a re-invention of Chinese architectural styles in response to Guangzhou’s quasi-colonial context, achieved through the efforts of its American architects to learn and adapt ‘Chinese-ness’ in their building designs, and the political and financial support of local Chinese people and overseas Chinese merchants. The concept of Chinese architecture was not settled at Lingnan, but nevertheless the Beaux-Arts campus and its building designs were interpreted by multiple groups and were later adopted and modified by Chinese architects, illuminating a broader cross-cultural dialogue between China and the West.

Title: Urban planning history of Malawi: case study of the capital Lilongwe
Abstract:
Like in other cities in the global South, rapid urbanization in Malawi continues to pose challenges for local authorities as manifested in un-ending struggles and contestation for urban space such as squatting and invasions of urban space. The research asks the question: how do the evolving and changing conceptions and perceptions of urban space shape or are shaped by planning and its associated spatial practices and representations of space? Specifically, the article addresses this question in two ways: first, by examining the evolving conceptions and perceptions of space in Malawi; second, by analysing the link between the changing conceptions and perceptions with urban planning and its associated representations and spatial practices. Using archival and secondary data, the article documents the underexplored history of urban planning policy in Malawi in three historical moments namely: the pre-colonial, colonial, and postcolonial eras; before delving into the shifting conceptions of planning from the colonial to post-colonial Malawi using Lilongwe city as a case study.

Title: Planning at the edge: urbanism and socio-political transition in Chelas, Lisbon
Abstract:
Throughout the twentieth century, many European countries developed public housing policies where planners and architects pursued creative, even radical design. This optimism collapsed within a few decades, re-emerging today as a hope in face of impending urban crisis, housing-access shortages and environmental decline. Here, we observe the urban process of Chelas, the largest social housing area ever planned by the Portuguese State, located in Lisbon. Its ambitious and progressive plan started during a dictatorial regime yet completed during a democratic one. Specific original plan features allowed Chelas to evolve over time, demonstrating the resilience of the territory and of its residents, and testifying to complex political and social changes. To understand this process, we disclose: (i) What territorial conditions existed prior to urbanization; (ii) What solutions were originally planned and under what circumstances; (iii) How the built forms of Chelas have accommodated change over time and which urban processes allowed such changes to occur. Focusing on one of Chelas’s sectors, Zone N, we trace its evolution from planning to reality, while also considering its spatial, social and ecological conditions and highlighting its future possibilities as a sustainable suburban neighbourhood.

Title: The role of urban landscapes in the formation of urban identity and urban memory relations: the case of Van/Turkey
Abstract:
Located on the eastern coast of Lake Van in eastern Turkey, the city of Van is home to numerous urban landscapes – both ancient and modern – that occupy important places in the city’s collective cultural memory. This study examined how information on Van’s spatial landscape was represented cognitively; by evaluating these perceptions, this study investigated the relationship between urban landscapes that could give the city and collective urban memory a particular identity. Whilst doing this, we also attempted to determine relevant emergent themes pertaining to the city. Accordingly, the information making up the personal memories of Van’s residents was holistically analysed through oral history interviews conducted with several individuals. Interviewees’ references to urban landscapes revealed that both urban memory and urban identity could be regarded as fundamental spatial elements. Emergent themes pertained primarily to recreational areas, activities performed in these areas and panoramas of water. Despite marked differences in their professions, interviewees’ memories showed numerous similarities. Although many scholars have extensively analysed urban identity and cultural landscapes, the case of Van has yet to be discussed.

Title: Soviet specialists’s urban planning technical assistance to China, 1949–1959
Abstract:
A highlight of the urban planning activities in the early days of the People’s Republic of China was the considerable number of professional specialists from the U.S.S.R. sent to provide China with technical assistance in urban planning. This was also a unique phenomenon in the international urban planning sector. More than forty Soviet specialists, who could be categorized into four groups, were sent to China over a 10-year period to provide technical assistance, commencing with the arrival of the first group of Soviet municipal engineering specialists in August 1949 to the return of the last group in May 1959. By virtue of the technical assistance of the Soviet planners China managed to learn from Soviet planning theory in its entirety and developed urban reconstruction & expansion plans for a number of existing megacities as well as a number of important emerging industrial cities. Furthermore, thanks to the Soviet specialists, China was able to train and acquire a multitude of first-generation urban planners of its own who instilled into the modern Chinese planning model a ‘cultural gene’ which, originating primarily from the Soviet model, characterized socialist urban planning.

Title: Housing the nascent middle class: the first high-rise planned community in post-war Hong Kong
Abstract:
How have high-density, high-rise planned communities become the predominant housing choice of Hong Kong residents and a vital feature of the city’s vertical urbanism? This article reconstructs the history of a gigantic housing estate called Mei Foo Sun Chuen, which was completed in Hong Kong between 1968 and 1978 by an American joint venture led by Mobil Oil Corporation. The estate was redeveloped from a former oil depot into a vast housing estate of 99 residential towers for 80,000 tenants. By the time of its completion, the estate was the largest privately financed residential development in the world, and it was heralded as the first high-rise planned community in Hong Kong. In studying Mei Foo Sun Chuen, this article discusses how a mega-scale residential development established a new dimension of Hong Kong’s new middle-class housing market. It argues that Mei Foo Sun Chuen’s new idea of a planned community, its modern flat design, and its comprehensive housing management met the requirements of a nascent middle class, which demanded a comfortable lifestyle that Hong Kong’s traditional housing market could not provide at the time. Since the completion of Mei Foo Sun Chuen, its popular housing model has proliferated throughout Hong Kong.

Title: The Olympic Effect in strategic planning: insights from candidate cities
Abstract:
Strategic planning was incorporated into urban planning processes towards the end of the twentieth century. It was propelled by the ‘Barcelona model’, intrinsically related with the hosting of the 1992 Summer Olympics. Since then, the Olympic Games have been increasingly seen as powerful tools to catalyse development. They are perceived as provoking an Olympic Effect that has been characterized in literature as an intensified impact of development policies when implemented in the context of the event. Furthermore, the catalytic character of the Games and its associated city-branding potential are often seen as the primary reasons why cities bid for hosting it. This paper argues that the definition of Olympic Effect shall be established in strategic planning practices before both the catalytic effect on development projects and the augmented impact in territories and communities. For that, candidatures of cities bidding to host the Games are qualitatively analysed. The results contribute to the recognition of the increased presence of a strategic vision in Olympic candidatures, the characterization of strategic planning in the context of the Olympic Games, the identification of its role in the city’s overall strategic planning processes, and the definition of the Olympic Effect as a resource for urban strategic planning.

Title: Foreign aid for rural development: village design and planning in post-independence Morocco
Abstract:
During the late colonial era and after independence, international organizations engaged in donating foreign aid to Morocco. The United Nations' technical assistance initiatives engaged in ambitious schemes targeting the rural realm. Among them, the Lalla Mimouna community development project (1957–1965), the Projet Sebou (1963–1980), and the Programme d'habitat rural (1967–1972). All three projects were concerned about the physical rural environment, which is assessed in this article on a common scale: the village. Given that they each focus on the geographical area of the Gharb plain, these projects offer a cross-section over the entanglements between their supporting international organizations' policies and the disciplinary expertise of village planning and design. After providing an overview of the development agendas of the aforementioned UN bodies, we discuss each of the case studies on the basis of unpublished archival material. Then, we discuss the overlaps in the UN bodies' development ideologies in relation to the ideologies inherited from the colonial era, and their selective appropriation by Moroccan polities. Finally, we argue that whereas planning practices were highly sensitive to the shifting paradigms of international aid organizations, village design remained relatively autonomous. This raises questions concerning the capacity of the disciplines of planning and development studies to carry out their emancipatory missions.

Title: The post-war rebirth of Yokohama: the planner Akira Tamura’s contributions to municipal reform
Abstract:
Akira Tamura (1926–2010) was a Japanese expert in city management and planning during the post-war period. He was awarded the Grand Prize of the Architectural Institute of Japan in 2000. Tamura conceived citizen-oriented theories of city management and planning and put them into practice in Yokohama city from 1968 to 1978. After Mayor Ichio Asukata requested that Tamura to join the city government and execute his previous proposals, Tamura set up the Planning and Coordination Department with young multidisciplinary professionals. They worked as a collaborative team to negotiate and coordinate among multiple stakeholders, including local communities, public authorities, national ministries, and business sectors. Asukata and Tamura shared the aim of reforming the local government machinery into an independent, responsible entity, avoiding unnecessary interference from national ministries and politicians. Although Tamura laid out a framework for the city’s future evolution, his management philosophy of planning and coordination has not been well transmitted. With the objective of conducting empirical research to investigate and share Tamura and his colleagues’ work, this non-profit organization was established in 2015 by people with concerns about local government initiatives.

Title: Ford’s network: the American-Yugoslav project and the circulation of urban planning expertise in the Cold War
Abstract:
The article focuses on the American-Yugoslav Project in Regional and Urban Planning Studies (AYP) to explore the Ford Foundation’s role in the international circulation of urban planning expertise during the Cold War. In operation in Ljubljana, Slovenia, 1966–1976, AYP was a foundation-funded collaboration between Ljubljana’s Urban Planning Institute of SR Slovenia and a succession of American universities: Cornell, Wayne State, and Johns Hopkins. Its goal was to bring the American regional planning expertise to Yugoslavia and Europe. Using the lens of network-building, the article highlights the geopolitical motivations of Ford’s presence in socialist Yugoslavia before tracing the professional trajectories of AYP’s founding members, American geographer Jack C. Fisher and the Slovenian architect Vladimir Braco Mušič. It then analyzes the project as an exemplary ‘networking instrument’ that connected numerous urban planners across Europe, in turn facilitating the transfer of American cybernetic techniques to Yugoslavia.

Title: Global experts for historic towns: Leonardo Benevolo and Giorgio Lombardi’s contributions to UNDP/UNESCO Andean region programme
Abstract:
Italy’s policies for the protection of historical cities in the 1960s and early 1970s met with great praise from European countries and institutions at the time of their implementation. In the following decades, they became a model for architects and planners worldwide and particularly for large international organizations. This article focuses on the international dissemination of Leonardo Benevolo's work during the 1970s, identifying three defining moments: the 1976 UN Habitat Conference, the meetings organized in the framework of the 1975 European Year of Architectural Heritage, and, notably, the consulting work for UNDP/UNESCO carried out in Latin America by Benevolo and his younger colleague, Giorgio Lombardi. In this context, one specific facet of Benevolo's approach emerges: the idea that preserving historic districts constitutes an integral component of the modern city development. The article provides insights into how Benevolo’s approach to the preservation of historical centres was received, manipulated, and used by international agencies, local experts, and institutions in Latin America.

Title: The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) experts’ contribution in the establishment of the University of Patras
Abstract:
The Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) was founded in 1948 with the aim of connecting European countries to the United States through the economic project of the Marshall Plan. Since 1958, the OECD has worked with Greek governments to modernize and develop the country. Part of the investigations undertaken by the OECD in order to achieve successful globalization in cooperation with European governments has provided expertise to the member countries which has affected the development trends of the nations and states. Even though the decisions and suggestions of these two organizations seem to have had an impact on urban planning, there is little research in the international literature that has examined their participation in the evolution of spatial data in the post-WWII period. In this paper, my aim is to examine the dynamics between the different actors involved in the process of creating the University of Patras and to question the role of international experts in that process. Τhe research is based on material in the OECD in Paris, the Historical Archives of University of Patras and Constantinos A. Doxiadis Archives, Athens.

Title: Rehearsing experts and ‘inperts’: crossing transnational housing narratives in West Africa
Abstract:
In the early days of the United Nations, the main form of aid in the field of housing took the shape of technical assistance. Although the pool of specialists was almost coincident with those from colonial networks, the ambitions and limitations of international, non-governmental and neutral cooperation implied a reconceptualisation of the world division inherited from the colonial period and its replacement by a new paradigm of ‘development’. This manifested itself right from the start in the redefinition of the modus operandi of the expert and in the production of a particular form of knowledge that challenged the previous expertise, influencing narratives on the built environment around the world. This paper examines the 1954 United Nations Housing Mission to the Gold Coast and its outcomes, along with the formative example of the previous 1950 mission to prepare the UN Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance. The case study provides an insight into the relationship between the idealization of international cooperation and that of the expert in the field of housing. At the same time, the emphasis on research and education, and the subsequent foundation of a new school, offers a starting point for a critical analysis of its counterpart, the ‘inpert’.

Title: Imperial spectacle and emergency shelters: the American Red Cross programmes presented at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, 1915
Abstract:
The article hinges on the important political changes and imperial anxieties that characterized the U.S. at the tail end of the nineteenth century. As the country was attempting to rise to international prominence with military and economic means, it authorized the American Red Cross (ARC) to operate in foreign lands and transmit narratives of American benevolence and exceptionalism. One such narrative was the ARC exhibit at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE) in San Francisco. Amidst the exposition’s disorienting tableau of displays, the organization exhibited its shelter provision and famine relief programmes in Messina and Reggio di Calabria, Italy, and the Huai River Valley, China, capturing the imagination of fairgoers and winning a slew of exposition prizes. This article traces both the history of these two programmes and their museological deployment at the PPIE; and, traces how U.S. humanitarian programmes morphed into a primary instrument for advancing the country’s geopolitical ambitions. Ultimately, I argue that the ARC and its international programmes attempted to materialize the country’s expansionist visions by exporting reforms in U.S. colonial or commercial outposts.

Title: Experts, export, and the entanglements of global planning
Abstract:
After the conferences in Bretton Woods (1944) and San Francisco (1945), and especially with the implementation of widespread technical assistance policies of the Point Four Program (1949), teams of experts composed primarily of architects, but also economists, sociologists and anthropologists, began to gravitate around supranational organizations such as the United Nations, the World Bank and the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations. A key centre of their interest was the new independent world that emerged from colonial rule and stepped onto the global stage in search of legitimacy and technical emancipation. The modernization of the so-called Third World, a flagship of international policy in the early 1960s, opened the door to a holistic and intrinsically global approach. Building on this foundation, this monographic issue of Planning Perspectives aims to investigate the role supranational organizations played in the architecture discourse and the rise of ‘global experts’ especially, but not exclusively, in the aftermath of the Second World War. Researchers draw on case studies such as development plans and housing schemes, but also events related to dissemination or training in order to frame the profile of the ‘global expert’, the role of supernational institutions and the legacy of their actions in the contemporary world.

Title: News from the Modern Front: Constantinos A. Doxiadis’s Ekistics, the United Nations, and the post-war discourse on housing, building and planning
Abstract:
The Monthly Bulletin of Tropical Housing & Planning was founded by Constantinos A. Doxiadis and Jaqueline Tyrwhitt in October 1955. Originally meant to collect professionally useful information on the so-called ‘developing countries’, the publication soon changed its name and scope, becoming an internationally distributed, widely read and highly influential journal dedicated to the science of Ekistics and human settlements. Using previously unpublished archival material, the paper investigates the origin and early years of Ekistics: The Problems and Science of Human Settlements highlighting the strategic role of the journal for Doxiadis’s global agenda. Second, it is used as a case study to follow the evolution of the discourse on housing, building and planning during the UN Development decades and until the organization in 1976 of UN Habitat, the first international conference entirely dedicated to human settlements. Finally, by focusing on the journal and its meaning, this paper also explores the role that experts and international cooperation missions have played in the spread of modernity and on Doxiadis’s legacy in this field.

Title: Protecting the historical city – urban regeneration in Eastern Germany during the 1990s as a starting point for a sustainable urban development?
Abstract:
Since the 1970s, the existing historical building stock gained more value. Monument protection was gradually introduced in the urban planning process as were its methods and instruments. Approaches for an urban development based on the existing building stock were made in both former german countries, GDR (German Democratic Republic) and FGR (Federal Republic of Germany), even if the extent was different. Especially with the regeneration of the historical old towns in the GDR beginning in late 1989, early 1990, the preservation of urban architectural heritage formally became an integrated part of urban development strategies in united Germany. The adaption and development of instruments to protect and develop historical city centres is part of the research project ‘Stadtwende’, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Surveys based on the results of qualitative expert interviews and archive research show that the ‘turn’ (Wende) in 1989 had an impact on the development of a planning practice that took the existing building stock into account. With regard to recent trends the paper shows the historical genesis of the preservation of urban heritage in urban planning and asks to what extent it could support a resource-saving urban development today.

Title: The enduring importance of strategic vision in planning: the case of the West Midlands Green Belt
Abstract:
The Green Belt is one of the most widely known and popular regional growth management policies having been adopted around the world. Drawing upon the regional spatial imaginary and historical institutionalist literature alongside a case study of the West Midlands, this paper conceptualizes the Green Belt as an enduring, regionalizing concept in the spatial vision of planners and professional campaigners. It underscores the continuing importance of planning history and critical junctures in ‘framing’ the perspectives and aspirations of practicing planners regarding strategic planning. The paper charts the emergence, embedding, and adaptability of the Green Belt as an institution before exploring how strategic vision has continued to be vitally important to planners and campaigners despite the abolition of statutory strategic planning in England in 2010.

Title: Planning versus reality: building ‘native’ housing estates in Lomé and Douala, late nineteenth century till 1940
Abstract:
This article critically compares the planning and production of ‘native’ housing estates in Douala and Lomé up to the Second World War, for which academic interest has been minimal. Although these two cities had been inhabited by local ethnic groups for much longer, both became the object of German planning initiatives as of the late nineteenth century. Around 1910, this resulted in the introduction of public housing for African citizens as a serious issue, for which the planning and design in both cities departed from similar urban-colonial visions, while interacting and conflicting which what would prove to be resilient, pre-existing actors. A main reason why German ‘native’ housing projects were hardly realized until 1918 and would undergo important (trans)mutations while built under the French administration. Using a comparative ANT-inspired analysis, attention is paid to the untangling of relevant actors and actor-networks; to the nuancing of presumed ruptures between successive (in this cases German and French) colonial systems; and to the friction between (urban) planning and built realities. This article is part of an ongoing research into concepts, models and realities that figure in Sub-Sahara African urban transformations since the early twentieth century, more specifically those related to ‘native’ housing production.

Title: Urbanism of zines: the potential of environmentalist zines as sources for planning history
Abstract:
The explosion of youth revolts in the long 1970s, including the emergence of environmental activism in western Europe, coincided with the democratization of printing technologies, and led to radical transformation in the production and distribution of knowledge. Publishing became cheap and easy due to the appearance of portable versions of formerly costly and heavy printing machinery and a myriad of self-published zines with an environmentalist tone flourished, disseminating a firm rejection to the post-war consensus of consumerism and growth, denouncing the overarching planning organizations, policies, and strategies. Besides criticism, they also present ways of thinking, living, cooperating, and building that follow different rules and values than consumer capitalism. This contribution identifies a gap in European planning history related to the agency of 1970s’ environmental activism and explores the potential of environmentalist zines as sources to sustain historical inquiry and help to fill that gap. It proposes conceptualizing zines as ‘minor’ sources, arguing that the Deleuzian-Guattarian category is a useful concept for reframing previously marginalized voices in planning history. Through the analysis of seven transnationally published zines, the paper demonstrates their validity as sources that document contributions of voices that have been neglected so far.

Title: Advocacy planning: were expectations fulfilled?
Abstract:
Civil society engagement in the spatial planning of neighborhoods has been an increasing trend from the middle of the 1960s. Advocacy planning has been a branch of planning theory and a strategy for activist planning practice ever since. This study surveys the properties of advocacy planning cases reported in English in academic journals and books between 1980 and 2020. The main purpose is to provide a reality check intended both for scholars teaching advocacy planning and activists practizing it: Do preconceived expectations and claims concerning the features and effects of advocacy planning correspond with reality as portrayed in the twenty identified case studies? To what extent have advocacy planning processes been successful? The empirical results show that community goals were wholly or partly achieved in the great majority of cases. Further, some expectations held by planning scholars turned out to be quite different from reality, especially regarding how confrontational advocacy planning is in practice, how much attention is given to means and substance relative to ends and process, and how participatory and empowering the process designs are.

Title: From sparse to compact city – shifting notions of nature in post-war residential landscapes in the Helsinki region
Abstract:
Different urban models, ranging from sparse garden cities to dense compact cities, have aimed to achieve healthy environments and combat the disadvantages of the city. They have aspired to respond to the specific challenges of each era, although, the means have substantially varied. Shifting ideologies have materialized in urban models but also in landscape architecture – a field that has remained largely unexamined in urban planning history. This article highlights the role of landscape architecture – urban greenery, parks, and gardens – and the ideals of urban nature they entail. The focus is on post-war residential landscapes in the Helsinki region, Finland in the 1950s–2010s. The article analyses the changing planning paradigms of urban nature with five city types: the garden city, forest city, compact city, ecological city, and the new compact city. Each paradigm has its specific nature type, which is characterized by different meanings and spatial forms given to nature, the ideal environment and the appropriate density. The study brings a landscape architecture approach to the academic discussion on the role of urban nature in urban planning. It also offers a critical outlook, reminding that the discussion on nature is not neutral and straightforward, but contradictory and loaded with underlying meanings.

Title: ‘Captains of industry’ of the metropolitan nexus: private mass housing development in twentieth-century Belgium
Abstract:
This paper focusses on the production of the two major commercial residential developers, Jean-Florian Collin (Etrimo) and François Amelinckx (Amelinckx N.V.), who constructed over 70,000 apartments in the metropolitan agglomerations of Belgium between 1924 and 1985. Their short-lived, but large-scale, production defines an ‘invisible city’ of which we know very little but can be used to analyse key aspects of the process of twentieth-century metropolization in Belgium. Both developers were ‘champions of a game of their creation’, as they applied precise strategies in constructing specific circumstances that seized the latent potential of development (that hovered over the capitalist metropolitan landscape) into concrete, often opportunistically defined, built commodities. By applying a production perspective on planning history, it is possible to look at the processes of metropolitan expansion and twentieth-century planning in Belgium from a different angle, starting from the actual built reality and the ‘captains of industry’11Dixon, “Retrospectives, Captains of Industry”. that this urban reality was grounded upon. A perspective which has been little-applied in the Belgian case, and is particularly pertinent for interpreting development patterns in a context like Belgium that lacks a strong planning culture and is historically compromised the absence of an emancipated scene of developers ready to take on the urban agenda.

Title: The Dutch ‘Gateway to Europe’ spatial policy narrative, 1980–2020: a systematic review
Abstract:
Like other countries with large ports, the Netherlands developed a policy narrative to acquire a key position in global value chains starting in the 1980s, through the spatial development of its hinterland logistics complex. The negative environmental effects of logistics, such as landscape transformation and congestion, have increasingly come to be seen as spatial policy problems. The literature on policy narratives emphasizes the importance of balanced trade-offs and learning from alternative views. In this paper, we discuss why the ‘Gateway to Europe’ narrative has remained in place. This paper systematically reviews spatial planning documents, advisory reports and academic papers between 1980 and 2020 to develop a chronology of logistics planning concepts pertaining to economic and technological milestones. It also maps policy influences, aiming to identify underlying causal policy theories on logistics development and its spatial-environmental effects. We determine that critical reports have been structurally ignored, challenges have been outsourced and advocacy coalitions have been unbalanced, increasing path dependency and risking a spatial-economic lock-in. Looking at the ‘Gateway to Europe’, we point to pitfalls in the policy narrative and the policy-learning process, enabling policymakers to avoid them in the future.

Title: The persistence and rise of master planning in urban Africa: transnational circuits and local ambitions
Abstract:
Master plans have long been criticized by critical planners who have argued in favour of more strategic, collaborative and relational forms of spatial planning that can more adequately respond to local needs and realities, especially in the context of the global South. Rather than critiquing master planning, this paper seeks to interrogate its recent rise in urban Africa. Building on a review of international planning trajectories, the paper seeks to challenge dominant narratives in the Western literature around the rise and decline of master planning. Planning experiences from across the African continent illustrate how master planning was a limited practice under colonialism and emerged more strongly in early post-colonial years, while persisting through a quiet period of planning and proliferating in recent times. By exploring the diversity in the influences and approaches to master planning for new and existing cities in Africa over time, the paper positions master planning as the product of a complex array of transnational circuits and multiple local actors and ambitions which intersect across different scales. The study of master planning should therefore be considered as an important entry point into understanding and rethinking the contemporary politics of urban planning, implementation, and development in Africa.

Title: The Datong City Plan (1938): the three week-process of organizing planning ideas and techniques towards the construction of a new urban area under Japanese occupation
Abstract:
The Datong City Plan is well-known in the history of colonial city planning, especially for its early use of the neighbourhood unit theory in a city-wide plan. It has been assessed by researchers internationally as a demonstration of the advanced level of Japanese planning technology in that era. This paper clarifies the planning process during the planners’ stay in Datong in the fall of 1938 through an examination of primary sources, including the team’s preparations prior to their arrival. These primary sources elucidate the process by which the plan was formulated. Its technological advancement was based on two premises: (1) the study of residential area design and (2) the experience of building the capital of Manchukuo. In Datong, the concept of the satellite city was introduced, the city scale was set according to the three different types of density, and the curved road pattern was applied, all significant innovations in city planning. The historical significance of the Datong City Plan lies in the junction of colonial city planning practice and academic exploration of city planning.

Title: Colonial legacies and contemporary urban planning practices in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Abstract:
Effective urban planning is said to be crucial for ensuring liveable, equitable and viable urban areas progress towards sustainability. This study combines a review of the relevant literature, key informant interviews and field observations to explore contemporary planning practices in Dhaka, Bangladesh. We problematize ineffective urban planning practice in Dhaka as a prime expression and reproduction of colonial planning, which manifests itself through institutional bureaucracy and centralization, technocracy, and ad hoc planning. We argue that these imprints have rendered planning institutions weak and fostered dependency on imported ideologies and practices. The situation, we further argue, not only stifles local planning creativity but also makes the planning profession unattractive. Apart from limited local innovations and political aspirations for meeting global development targets, urban planning and city management have followed a reductionist approach under neoliberalism. With little to no social resonance, attempts at creating ordered spaces are, instead, contributing to increased spatial fragmentation and segregation, informality, and widespread urban poverty. To promote urban sustainability, this paper urges the contextualization of colonial ideologies and practices against the social, political and economic realities of urban Bangladesh.

Title: Davids and the Goliath at Downtown: why central Auckland’s largest post-war urban renewal scheme could not be stopped
Abstract:
By the late 1960s, the recognition of community and heritage values increasingly led to the reconsideration of plans for comprehensive urban renewal projects that would have required the clearance of myriad old buildings. On the other hand, Auckland’s Downtown Redevelopment Scheme – New Zealand’s largest post-war urban renewal project of a commercial nature – was approved in 1968 and constructed in three stages until 1980. It was a subversion of the country’s first Professor of Town Planning, Robert Kennedy’s concept, and not resisted on heritage or community grounds. Objections focussed on the Stage 1 office building and the impairment of public amenity through increasing wind speeds at its base and shading the area earmarked for the Stage 2 public square. In two hearings, the Auckland City Council and the Town and Country Planning Appeal Board approved the planning application regardless, but the abiding outcomes confirmed the objections raised. The article seeks to understand the decisions made in a city still fashioning its planning processes and the accommodations made by all levels of government to facilitate the project before the hearings even took place – these effectively a foregone conclusion. Auckland has long been a commercial city, a developer’s city, despite extant planning processes.

Title: ‘The core’: the centre as a concept in twentieth-century British planning and architecture.Part one: the emergence of the idea
Abstract:
This is the first of a pair of articles in which we argue that what we term the ‘centre-idea’ was fundamental to British modernist architecture and planning thought from the mid-1940s onwards. We locate this idea’s roots in the pre-1939 British voluntary sector, specifically the activities of the Peckham Experiment and the Pioneer Health Centre which housed it. We evidence its long-term influence on post-1945 architecture and planning in the invitation to the Experiment’s co-creator George Scott Williamson to speak at CIAM’s eighth Congress in 1951. The paper begins with a discussion of the Experiment, an architectural and urban setting which was understood to effect new forms of human relationships and subjectivity suited to a democratic, post-imperial modernity. We then consider other environments to show how this ‘centre-idea’ was widespread in progressive circles by the late 1930s. The paper concludes by discussing the community centre as an emerging building type increasingly supported by the state. This coming together of the British state, modernist architecture and progressive voluntarist thinking by the outbreak of war in 1939, would mean that the ‘centre-idea’ had a significant impact on reconstruction debates and post-war planning; the subject of our forthcoming companion article.

Title: From home to work to shop to home: the planned retail chain in Soviet Lithuania, 1960s–1980s
Abstract:
A radical vision for city planning in Soviet Lithuania, starting in the 1960s, was controlled by Soviet authorities, legislation, and plans. The concept was to divide cities into mikrorayons (microdistricts) to be serviced by shopping centres with different purposes. This article reveals the significant hurdles Soviet Lithuania experienced in implementing these Soviet urban and retail models. Because of long-term planning issues and delays, the construction of shopping centres and even entire residential areas failed to meet the rapidly changing needs of society. How did the principles of Soviet urban planning influence or hinder the development of retail centres in Soviet Lithuania? Archival sources identify how these centres were reflected in urban planning documents and which rules governing the centres and their structure were applicable. This article details how a Soviet shopping centre compared ‘on paper’ to reality.

Title: Not wholly belonging: British planning’s uncertain European connections
Abstract:
This article takes a long view of British planning’s connections with continental Europe, locating Brexit within historic uncertainties about the country’s international outlook, interests and position. In 1948, Churchill portrayed Britain at the intersection of three ‘great circles’: the British Empire, the wider English-speaking world (principally the USA) and Europe. This notion is drawn on to show how the strong earlier European links of British planning were seriously disrupted or severed by twentieth-century wars. These drew both country and planning approach closer to its ‘distant friends’ within the other ‘great circles’. As former imperial ties faded and the USA relationship became less special, Britain looked again to Europe but without shedding these habitual links. Even after Britain joined the European Communities in 1973, its strongest international planning connections remained with the USA and its former Empire and Dominions. In the 1990s, the EU promoted spatial planning but Britain remained largely aloof until the ‘New Labour’ governments of 1997–2010. Yet growing Euroscepticism saw this relative enthusiasm fade, with Brexit reviving uncertainties, now about whether EU approaches should be jettisoned and a more deregulated planning system created. The article predicts (or at least hopes) that current anti-Europe thinking will itself fade.

Title: Seminars on urban design and the constitution of the discipline in mid-1980s Brazil
Abstract:
A series of seminars held in Brasilia in the mid-1980s institutionalized Urban Design as a discipline in Brazil. It triggered a new approach to urban interventions, in consonance with the country’s re-democratization process and the critical debates fostered by the new political condition, following the end of the dictatorship. This paper explores the seminars’ outcomes in order to account for the rationale of urban design in Brazil, when social milieu, cultural character and participatory processes became fundamental design tools. By examining this turning point, the paper adds to the historiography of the genesis of Urban Design in Brazil while highlighting the particularities of the local approach to the global term.

Title: Who owns public spaces? The trailblazer exhibition on women’s everyday life in the City of Vienna (1991)
Abstract:
This article contributes to shedding light, documenting, and disseminating a pioneer event that has not been part of the recorded history of urban planning. In 1991, two feminist engineers working at the City of Vienna’s Urban Planning Office organized a ground-breaking exhibition with the aim of understanding gender bias in urban design. The event exceeded their prospects in an unanticipated way. Since 1991, the City of Vienna led the way to the conceptualization of gender mainstreaming that was happening at the European level – and that did not take place until 1997, when the Amsterdam Treaty came into effect. In 1992, the City of Vienna established the Women’s Office, with authority in urban affairs. Paradoxically, the success of the exhibition did not allow the organizers to properly document and preserve it, nor was it conserved in the City’s Archive. This unprecedented research relies on unreleased archival material gathered from the personal archives of the exhibition’s photographers, as well as from ad-hoc interviews with the organizers, Jutta Kleedorfer and Eva Kail. Thirty years later, the City of Vienna is known for this approach to urban planning. The exhibition ‘Who Owns Public Spaces? Women’s Everyday Life in the City’ was the turning point.

Title: Military or trade port cities? About the form and function of the Hispanic colonial cities in Latin America and the Caribbean
Abstract:
This work studies urban form and function in Hispanic American colonial port cities. By combining different research questions and points of view, new insights are given into matters such as the origin of their urban grids, the development of their fortifications throughout the colonial era, and the military versus trade function they accomplished. The focus is on Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, with other Hispanic colonial cities also included in the discussion. The field work is based on primary literature about colonial laws and ordinances and the reports of several viceroys in the eighteenth century as well as a wide array of secondary literature in different languages. The results show that, while these cities fulfilled an important role as trade nodes, this function was second to their military role. However, both functions are found to be interdependent in a number of ways.

Title: Quartering as an aspect of Italy’s post-unification urban development: the case of Milan’s parade ground
Abstract:
This work addresses the relationship between the Italian city-making process following Unification (1861) and the development of military settlements up to the 1920s. The hypothesis presented here is that the building of military settlements and the redevelopment of spaces with new functions, arguably, shaped Italian cities over this period by implementing urban renewal processes and city expansion. Through my analysis, I claim that defence planning had an amenable effect upon the decision-making process of urban planning schemes. In addition, this paper claims that this process has impacted the location of military settlements in ways that boosted the economic and urban images of the city. I do this through a detailed case study of Milan’s parade ground. Here, I found that the parade ground dismantling and relocation from the urban centre towards the periphery happened twice, relied on a specific narrative, and was catalysed by two mega-events. I demonstrate that defence planning plays a secondary role in boosting these operations aimed both at replacing military settlements with newly emerging functions and displacing the unwanted functions in the periphery.

Title: The Sharon Plan reconsidered: how Eliezer Brutzkus’ pre-1948 separatism shaped Israel’s New Towns
Abstract:
This article focuses on the Sharon Plan, Israel's celebrated New Towns programme and a central ethos of early statehood. Conventional wisdom unequivocally identifies it with the renowned Bauhaus-graduate Arieh Sharon and the progressive spirit of architectural modernism. I reveal, by contrast, how the plan drew on an obscure blueprint devised by an urban planner, Eliezer Brutzkus, in the context of the Peel Partition Plan in 1937. The Peel Partition Plan proposed, for the first time, to divide Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states, based on population transfer. Brutzkus reacted to the new horizon of a Jewish-only statehood by devising proto-national mass urbanization plan, based on the ‘comprehensive planning’ of a land emptied of its Arab majority. In 1948, this plan was updated and canonized as the Sharon Plan. This previously unexplored thread re-situates Sharon's modernist feat within the longer-term history of Zionist colonization and dispossession. Further, Brutzkus drew on geoeconomic and demographic planning policy tools, rather than on architecture and design. As such, this case demonstrates the importance of attending to disciplinary multiplicity as a vital part of the period's legacy, rather than collapsing it under the blanket term of architectural modernism.

Title: Housing matters in the 1970s: foundations, legacies, and impacts from the national laboratory for civil engineering’s research in Portugal
Abstract:
Housing research was introduced in Portugal during the 1960s, at the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering (Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil, LNEC), as a prominent scientific area in the international post-war conjuncture. The contributions of the LNEC’s research work guided architectural practice and political decisions following the aftermath of the Portuguese dictatorship in 1974. Based on primary sources, including documentation found at the LNEC library and archives, but also on the qualitative analysis of several interviews/oral statements conducted between 2017 and 2019 with the LNEC’s former researchers, this paper discloses how the LNEC’s legacy on housing research supported the establishment of the Portuguese housing programme in the 1970s, with effects in current times, both on a scientific level as well as for policy guidance.

Title: Serving the public interest? Towards a history of private sector planning expertise in England
Abstract:
Until recently there has been little critical consideration of the privatization of urban planning expertise. In this paper we draw on archival research in England to present an historical analysis of the role of private sector planners over the post-war period. In so doing, the paper provides one of the first considerations of changing historical perceptions of the roles of private sector professionals in the delivery of public planning, assessing the claims through which markets in urban planning expertise have been both problematized and justified over time. Tracing the reorganization of planning expertise allows us to view public and private sector roles not as fixed and immutable categories but instead as historically contingent outcomes of struggles over how the contested public interest purposes of planning have been defined and realized.

Title: Dourgouti and Tavros: the development of two Athenian neighbourhoods with social housing estates
Abstract:
Dourgouti and Tavros are two neighbourhoods of Athens, Greece. They were constructed by the Ministry of Welfare as areas with social housing estates. However, they are exceptional cases in Greek housing models. The main premise of this paper is derived from the analysis of the changes in social physiognomy and the relationships amongst residents in Dourgouti and Tavros, and whether these two neighbourhoods are paradigms of the ‘community saved’ argument or the ‘community lost’ argument.

Title: Deconstructing Cerdá: historical approaches in his three urban planning theories (1855–1867)
Abstract:
This paper aims to contribute to the current debate on the interest in history shown by the early town planning literature and to extend it to Spain. It focuses on the most important theoretical works of the urban planning pioneer Ildefonso Cerdá (1815–1876): the well-known Teoría General de la Urbanización (1867), Teoría de la Construcción de Ciudades (1859) and Teoría de la viabilidad Urbana (1861). Throughout the analysis of these three major publications and their heterogeneous sources, this paper discusses the role and relevance of different planning history approaches in Cerdá’s theoretical work. It highlights his ways of handling information about historical urbanism in the process of theorizing urban planning, as well as the sense he gave to history in each of his three theories and in his theoretical work as a whole. Finally, the paper outlines some comparative elements resulting from current international research. The paper concludes that though many of Cerdá’s approaches to history in his theoretical work match the general trends in European early town planning literature, some originalities arise, notably its pioneering character and the method conceived for analysing the historical urban evolution of a city throughout its plan.

Title: The dialogic constitution of model cities: the circulation, encounters and critiques of the Barcelona model in Latin America
Abstract:
Model cities are exemplary cases representing a particular policy and/or practice approach. The external gaze is a necessary condition in the attainment of such prestige and city leaders often engage in promotional activities to boost the reputation of their cities while audiences attempt to translate references into usable knowledge. However, there has been limited attention to how external audiences are implicated in the ‘modelling’ process, as promoters refine their strategies through encounters of knowledge exchange and through critical reflection. This article examines the backstories of the connections that have facilitated the circulation of planning practices developed in Barcelona as a model for Latin American cities. We use the notion of retro-transfer to consider not only the activities of Catalan promoters in the region, but also the implications of these encounters to subsequent circulations, exemplifying a more complex dynamic in the transnational flows of planning knowledge. We argue that this approach is required to appreciate how models are constituted through a dialogic process involving both ‘exporters’ and ‘importers’. In this sense, experiences with the promotion of project-led planning and strategic planning in Latin America can be seen as formative to the articulation of the Barcelona model and its subsequent travels.

Title: A 2200-year-old document of planning history: the border city planning system in Chao Cuo’s memorials to the throne
Abstract:
A series of memorials to the throne written by Chao Cuo (200–154 B.C.), a high-ranking official of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.–A.D. 24), contained systematic thoughts and methods of border city planning, and could be regarded as a valuable 2200-year-old document of planning history. Based on the textual interpretation of the classical texts, a historical analysis method that mixes theoretical construction and empirical evidence is applied to analyse the planning thoughts and methods proposed in Chao Cuo's works, including the strategic layout of human and land resources at the territorial scale, city site selection based on natural geographical conditions, multi-scale constructions of physical space from region to residence and social governance balancing people's livelihood and military affairs. The purpose of the planning system proposed by Chao Cuo was to build cites that were suitable for both military defence and people's daily lives, so that people would settle in the frontier and form a stable military force to resist enemies. Chao's works explain a typical feature of ancient Chinese city planning as an instrument of political governance, and demonstrated the interaction between urban form and way of life.

Title: The making of a model town: planning in a Princely city and the All-India Sanitary Conferences
Abstract:
The arrival of the third plague pandemic in the Indian Subcontinent in the late nineteenth century is well known to have prompted the state to rethink colonial governance. In this article, I examine how a locality in Bangalore, Fraser Town, was turned into a ‘model town’ at the All-India Sanitary Conferences hosted between 1911-1914, in the aftermath of the plague. I juxtapose archival manuals that recount the planning of Fraser Town with the discussions on town planning in the AISC proceedings to show how a universal ‘plague urbanism’ emerged as the most effective prophylactic against disease across Imperial India. The colonial government’s intent to project Fraser Town as an exemplar of sanitary planning at the AISC, I argue, had a twofold agenda. In Bangalore, they could claim credit for creating a model town although it was the Princely Mysore State’s capital. Across Imperial India, Fraser Town supported the Conferences’ agenda of deconstructing the difference between British, Princely, and variously ruled territories, reconstituting them in a performatively united ‘All-India’ against disease. Putting the making of Fraser Town alongside the imperial AISC, in dialogue with a global pandemic and conferencing; I show how planning processes were integral to territorial aspirations of empire.

Title: Peripheralization through mass housing urbanization in Hong Kong, Mexico City, and Paris
Abstract:
This article compares how state-initiated mass housing urbanization has contributed to processes of peripheralization in three very different historical and geopolitical settings: in Paris from the 1950s to the 1990s in Hong Kong from the 1950s to 2010s and in Mexico City from the 1990s to the 2010s. We understand mass housing urbanization as large-scale industrial housing production based on the intervention of state actors into the urbanization process which leads to the strategic re-organization of urban territories. In this comparison across space and time we focus particularly on how, when and to what degree this urbanization process leads to the peripheralization of settlements and entire neighbourhoods over the course of several decades. This long-term perspective allows us to evaluate not only the decisive turns and ruptures within governmental rationales but also the continuities and contradictions of their territorial effects. Finally, we develop a taxonomy of different modalities of peripheralization that might serve as a conceptual tool for further urban research.

Title: ‘The core’: the centre as a concept in twentieth-century British planning and architecture. Part two: the realization of the idea
Abstract:
This article is the second part of a discussion of what we term the ‘centre-idea’. This idea, we argue, was fundamental to British modernist architecture and planning praxis from the mid-1940s onwards. It represented an active spatial environment in which people could develop their selves and their interests at a time of expanding democracy, which required new forms of community association. We locate this idea’s roots in the pre-war British voluntary sector, specifically the activities of the Peckham Experiment and the Pioneer Health Centre which housed it, and evidence its long-term influence on post-war architecture and planning theorization. The article begins its discussion in wartime Britain and it traces how the ‘centre-idea’ was absorbed into the committees, plans and discussions which underpinned post-war reconstruction. It also documents how a CIAM dominated by Anglo-American theorists developed the idea into a particular understanding of, and approach to, modernist design and planning. These two strands are brought together in an analysis of their realization in a series of now state-sponsored projects, which include the Design Centre and the South Bank Arts Centre.

Title: Tracking the morphology of building types and site planning layouts within Seoul’s reconstructed and redeveloped apartment complexes
Abstract:
Urban residential redevelopment projects in Seoul, South Korea gradually replaced the deteriorating low-rise residential fabrics with high-rise, high-density apartment complexes. Despite flat-type being the dominant style for apartment buildings, compact tower-type buildings popularised in the late 1990s to maximise density in terms of floor area ratio, ensure open green spaces and provide favourable views. However, as tower-type buildings possessed several deficiencies, such as non-southern orientation, difficulties in cross-ventilation, and comparatively higher construction costs, a compromise emerged in the 2000s. In succession, various morphologically modified and intentionally deformed buildings and their accompanying site planning configurations emerged to overcome the shortcomings of the newly built high-rise apartment complexes. This study aims to (1) track the evolving apartment building morphology and (2) identify different layout configurations in accordance with the transformed building types, specifically those constructed in redeveloped and reconstructed housing projects. Diverse building modification and relevant arrangement strategies are primarily oriented to the internal residents’ interests, while the public dimension outside the complex is inconspicuously underestimated. Thus, it is crucial to further perceive and promote awareness of the public space in ways that counterbalance the dominantly privatized pedestrian environment and neighbourhood-scape based on systematic comprehension of apartment buildings and their layout morphologies.

Title: Path dependency in aesthetic control management within Turkish planning history
Abstract:
This article examines the effects of socio-economic and political events on the control and management of aesthetics by analysing Turkey’s urban planning process using Istanbul as the case study. The external events were analysed in Istanbul by exploring the historical patterns of Turkey’s urban planning and development history. The urban aesthetics concept, characterized by different periods from the late Ottoman era until today, includes the involvement, development, and continuity of different concepts of aesthetics in the planning process. In this study, the path dependence concept has been used as a methodology, which reveals that critical junctures or major changes have happened by changing economic and political conditions at the national and international levels. Five critical junctures were identified. The findings indicate that path dependence and trajectories revealed different institutional structures without any integrity for aesthetic control under planning regulations.

Title: Fire in the port city: the impact of different population groups on the destruction and revival of Canton city in the nineteenth century
Abstract:
Canton (present-day Guangzhou) has long flourished as a port city. As the city expanded in the nineteenth century, the risks of conflagrations increased; streets became more crowded, buildings were more often made of wood, and there was more use of open fires. The reconstruction of Canton after conflagrations provides an excellent way to observe the resilience of urban space, understood here as the result of interactions among different stakeholders. This paper explores how authorities, local communities, foreigners, and Hong merchants addressed fires and rebuilt through laws, regulations, technologies and cooperation, and how responses to fire destruction shaped urban space. Divers stakeholders affected the reconstruction of buildings and streets. The government made laws to widen streets, communities built watchtowers, and foreigners made new plans for Thirteen Factories, a neigbhorhood along the Pearl River. At the same time, conflicts between communities and foreigners obstructed plans for urban transformation and maintained the stability of urban structures. The communities kept the traditional local community organizations the ‘Kaifong’ (local organization in street) who opposed the widening streets and fought against proposed fire zones around Thirteen Factories, thus pitching local interests against those of the foreigners in a complex social, political, and cultural context.

Title: The manufacture of heritage in the face of the diktats of authenticity: the case of the Algerian medinas from the beginning of the French occupation to the present
Abstract:
This article discusses the meaning of authenticity in making places with heritage values through the case of the Algerian medinas. Because of their particular and exclusive histories in the Maghreb, these historical settlements founded in the Islamic period have sometimes undergone radical transformations that have undermined their universal heritage eligibility. The latter is based on the criterion of authenticity. This is currently being questioned because of its rigidity, which has ensued from transformations in ideological field related to notions of culture and identity. Additionally, universal heritage eligibility has been shaped by the emergence of intangible heritage. This article is between a ‘Viewpoint’ type of paper and an empirically grounded research paper. The results of such an approach highlight the contradictions related to the authorities’ choices concerning the heritage of the Algerian medina. A process made according to a vision that was impregnated by a constructed authenticity. The latter was based on the primacy of the original Islamic model according to issues of decolonization and autochthony. The article calls into question the normative reading of heritage as a set of essences favouring a social construction of systems of representation that claim truth, identity and history.

Title: Working-class suburban housing, homeownership and urban social movements during Francoism in Barcelona, 1939–1975
Abstract:
The issue of homeownership in the working-class peripheries of post-war Europe has received little attention in planning history. The main reason is probably that public housing built at the time of massive operations of constructing Modernist housing estates in Western and Eastern Blocs adopted tenancy as the predominant form of tenure in almost all cases. In the context of widespread growth of urban homeownership during the second half of the twentieth century in European countries, this paper addresses the singularities of ownership in Francoist Spain. In this case, the main peculiarity is that the working classes that flocked to inhabit the new outskirts were the main protagonists of the intense process of the spread in homeownership. First, the article discusses the ideological roots of the spread of homeownership in Spain as a singular phenomenon. Second, the spectacular growth of homeownership in the peripheral working-class districts of Barcelona and in the municipalities of its metropolitan area is analysed. Then, the paper considers the relationships observed between ownership in the new peripheries and the development of powerful urban movements. A final epilogue places such movements in the Western European context.

Title: A hole in the wall: French colonial planning approaches and the building of the Central Market in Rabat, Morocco (1922–1925)
Abstract:
In 1925, the Central Market of Rabat was built at the outskirt of the medina (the old city) by French Colonial powers (1912-1956). Despite being the only element displayed in colonial maps of the medina, and one of Rabat's current landmarks, the history of the market is still unknown. Drawing on the National Moroccan archives and on colonial postcards, the article explores the historical and urban significance of the Central Market for Rabat colonial and postcolonial history. It argues that the market constitutes a unique architectural and urban case for Rabat as it both challenged and reinforced the colonial agenda. Planning principles like the policy of association, the ‘image of the city' and the ‘dual city' were not only defied by the market, but also by the demolition of the part of the wall in front of it. This revealed the inconsistencies and lack of homogeneity of the colonial approach. Moreover, without the wall, the medina became penetrable by the ‘Ville Nouvelle' (New Town). Engaging with the Central Market is significant for the history of colonial planning, but also for today’s Rabat identity construction, inscribed in 2012 in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and elected cultural capital in 2022.

Title: Port-railway connection in Setúbal (Portugal) – an understanding of the past for a sustainable future
Abstract:
This article aims to analyse the process of connecting the railway and the port of Setúbal within the development of sustainable urban policies. Since the nineteenth century, cities have faced challenges concerning the logistics of transportation. The urban specificities of port cities attracted the attention of experts in the mid-twentieth century, after some cities had relocated or restructured their port areas. Consequently, by the end of the twentieth century, intermodality became a fundamental tool to guarantee a sustainable urban plan. Currently, the sustainability paradigm has increased the concerns about port cities, due to their environmental, social, and economic qualities. This article aims to explore the historical relationship between the railway and the port of Setúbal. Focus is placed on the attempts to develop an intermodal system in Setúbal, while confronting it with its urban development. By discussing the restructuring process of the port of Setúbal since the arrival of the railway, this paper provides an overview of the interests and actors involved in the connection between these infrastructures. The historical analysis of the port-rail infrastructure reveals the urgency of this kind of understanding for current and future sustainable urban planning.

Title: From the RPAA to the RDCA – communitarian regionalism as a consistent theme
Abstract:
The Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA) comprised a core group of experts on urbanism, design, economics, housing, and planning throughout its ten years of advocacy and implementation from 1923 to 1933. A lesser-known subsequent organization, the Regional Development Council of America (RDCA), was founded twenty-five years later in 1948 in recognition of the 50th anniversary of Howard’s To-morrow. Primed for a postwar development surge, the RDCA’s ambitious agenda ranged from federal planning to urban renewal to community building for ‘productive defense’. This study applies a comparative analysis of archival materials, including review of efforts to sustain the RPAA mission during the bridging period when neither organization was active. While the RDCA only functioned for four years, the core membership consistently advocated for the regional city as the solution to a wide range of postwar challenges at the federal, state, and local levels. In doing so, their strategies addressed the increased professionalization and institutionalization of planning. At the same time, their sustained focus on communitarian regionalism diverged from the growing emphasis on economic development through expansionism that came to dominate the field.

Title: Through the bridges: the Black Cultural Association in São Paulo, urban planning and the contours of the white city
Abstract:
In São Paulo, the presence of the Black population in urban space is not reflected in official data. However, urban plans and projects had a great impact on this group since the birth of urbanism. The city growth process throughout the twentieth century operated a silent removal of Blacks from neighbourhoods around the historical centre related to social and economic factors, without being reported or discussed. This removal was widely supported by the scarcity of official data on their location and characterisation. Segregation contributed to increasing the distance from their homes to the centre, perpetuating the difficulties of social mobility, and reproducing their state of poverty. By retrieving data contained in the archives of the Associação Cultural do Negro (Black Cultural Association), collated with the report on urban planning published by the City Hall in 1961, I will show the displacement of Black people's housing outside the wealthiest central neighbourhoods and its relationship with the urban policy implemented in the period. In the order established by this policy, bridges became elements of connection with the distant neighbourhoods, allowing segregation through the expulsion of Blacks from the most privileged areas, located between the main urban rivers.

Title: The modernity of the Regional Planning Association of America
Abstract:
To address the relative modernity and contemporaneity of the legacy of the Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA). its position between 1923 and 1933 is compared to ideas of regional planning over the past 100 years. In this regard members of the RPAA, such as Mumford, Stein, Wright and MacKay, were initially strongly influenced by Geddes's idea of a geomorphology of human spatial systems, which also influenced the New Deal Era. While the utopianism of the RPAA's thinking diminished over time, its practical idealism persisted. To paraphrase Friedmann and Weaver, in the fluctuations between ‘functionality' and ‘territorial integration' that occurred in regional planning, the RPAA's concern for humankind and nature has persisted into today's Anthropocene Era. In short, while the RPAA's legacy’s subsequent influence over regional planning has varied, its relevance to functional integration has been longer lasting than its adherence to territorial integration.

Title: The location of a railway station and its impact on urban planning in colonial Lahore 1846–1947
Abstract:
In the nineteenth century, the impact of railways on urbanization was significant, despite initial predictions that its role would be limited to transportation. The presence of a railway station had impacted the urban fabric of Lahore during the colonial rule. It was the first purpose-built building by the British and it started the new era of urban expansion. Eventually, railway development turned out to be the fourth major settlement of Lahore. The objective of this paper is to highlight the contribution of railways in shaping the form and growth of Lahore. The methodology employed for this study consisted of collecting both primary and secondary data, followed by a comparative analysis of the urban context of pre-colonial Lahore and its development post the introduction of railways in the city.

Title: A century of regionalisms: the Regional Plan Association of New York and the Regional Planning Association of America in comparative perspective
Abstract:
Despite their similarity in names and initials that has confused generations of planning students, the Regional Plan Association of New York (RPA, founded 1922) and the Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA, founded 1923) propounded very different visions of regionalism. The RPA, following the Plan of Chicago (1909), argued for what I call ‘metropolitan regionalism’, a rail-based region tightly organized around a dense core. By contrast, the RPAA’s ‘decentrist regionalism’ envisioned a radical redistribution of population and production that would fully utilize the automobile and create a network of ‘New Towns’ in still-verdant greenbelts. I argue that regional planning in the United States since the 1920s has been dominated by the debate between these two regionalisms, and, since the disbanding of the RPAA and its successor organizations, this ‘regional conversation’ for New York has taken place within the RPA as especially their Third (1996) and Fourth (2017) Regional Plans have attempted to reconcile the two visions.

Title: Habitat. Towards an ecological urban lexicon
Abstract:
The paper is focused on the interdisciplinary and cross-cultural paradigm of ‘habitat’ – as the anthropological and ecological interdependency between domestic space and its environment. Since the mid-twentieth century, our built environment has faced a long totalizing, planetary urbanization process, which urges us to review the old conventional urban-architectural categories we use to describe and understand our cities and countryside. Faced with the urgency of a more inclusive understanding of our built environment, this paper sheds more light on the paradigm of Habitat as an interdisciplinary urban lexicon, as it gained momentum in post-war urban thinking and has influenced urban design ever since. The paper holds that the post-war discussion on Habitat represented a unique moment in which interdisciplinary thinking on the built environment became central. The paper shows alliances and resonances between the post-war CIAM’s discourse on Habitat and other coeval sociological and philosophical studies to delineate a complex theoretical framework. Beyond the parameters and boundaries that have been considered and presumed conventionally within ordinary urban design and social science, the paper focuses on the complex interdisciplinary meanings, interpretations, and translations regarding the paradigm of post-war Habitat as a complex social and spatial notion.

Title: The pursuit of permanence: regulating land for socio-economic stability in a colonial Massachusetts town
Abstract:
This paper first reviews how England’s middle-class Puritans developed various anxieties regarding their socioeconomic security in the emerging capitalist economy of early modern England. It then investigates three local land practices developed by Puritan colonists in New England to better secure their status in the New World, as revealed in a survey of town proceedings from Watertown, Massachusetts, from 1634 through 1773. These were restricting access to landownership, ‘warning out’ poor outsiders beyond town bounds, and managing land use. These practices enabled the middle-class, small-scale property owners who dominated local government in colonial Watertown to preserve the utility of land assets for future generations, manage the tax burden they associated with poor relief, and prevent conflicts arising among users of private and shared property. In doing so they maintained their households’ status in keeping with their notions of material and spiritual well-being. The paper aligns these practices with later local land practices, including restrictive covenants and zoning, that middle-class communities have used to manage the particular pressures they face in the development of capitalist economies.

Title: Bioregional urbanism: reflecting on the legacy of the RPAA through the lens of Jaqueline Tyrwhitt
Abstract:
The Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA) was formed in 1923 to promote urban development based on the English Garden City ideal linked to the regionalism of Patrick Geddes. But Lewis Mumford, the RPAA’s principal spokesperson, incorporated his version of Geddes’ ideas in the RPAA’s agenda. Arguably the RPAA/Mumford’s vision of garden cities as a remedy for the problems of the sprawling metropolis incorrectly became identified with Geddes. This essay presents a more nuanced perspective by examining the RPAA and efforts to relaunch it, starting in the late 1930s, through the lens of Jaqueline Tyrwhitt, who was largely responsible for the revival of interest in Geddes’s ideas after World War Two. The paper traces the development of Tyrwhitt’s ideas as she introduces Geddes in his own words to a new generation, thus dispelling previous misconceptions, and formed an influential synthesis of Geddes’ bioregionalism and modernist urbanism that framed debates on post-war reconstruction. She put forward the urban constellation – a further development of Geddes’ concept of the conurbation – explicitly as an alternative to the relaunched RPAA’s call for decentralization, now as strategy for civil defense.

Title: What would the RPAA do?
Abstract:
The legacy and vision of the RPAA is very familiar to us: a diverse group of talented urban reformers wanted to restructure social and economic systems to create decentralized, interconnected clusters of contained settlements in the form of garden cities protected by open space, with healthy, nearby industry providing ample employment opportunities. Regions would be linked by geography, culture, and climatic unity. The problem of great cities would be approached ‘not from within but from without’. In this paper, I consider three urban issues currently dominating our urban discourse a century after the RPAA was formed – the pandemic and its impact on urban life, gentrification and displacement, and climate change – and conjecture about what the RPAA might have thought or done if confronted with such challenges. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the RPAA, what can we surmise about a likely response from this influential group of urban and regional reformers?

Title: Southern regionalism: social science and regional-national planning in the interwar U.S. South
Abstract:
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first meeting of the Regional Planning Association of America in New York City, there is also the chance to recognize concurrent interwar regionalisms from other parts of the United States. Howard W. Odum led the Southern regionalism initiative with colleagues from his Institute for Research in Social Science at the University of North Carolina. The South served as their laboratory, where resource development proposals became the model for national regional planning practice and beyond. Southern regionalists understood the regional scale entirely through the cultural lens of the social sciences to abstract, describe, and project it. The South’s secessionist past informed their cultural/territorial proposals for folk regional planning, which later functionalist modelling elided. As these histories reach their centenaries, the article considers Southern regionalism more fully in relation to the broader social science and regional planning thought of the interwar period.

Title: Critical cartographies for assessing and designing with planning legacies: the case of Jaap Bakema’s Open Society in ‘t Hool, the Netherlands
Abstract:
The Open Society appeared as a concept in planning discourse at the Congrès International d’Architecture Moderne (CIAM XI). It attempted to create urban conditions which would allow society to prosper. Despite its good theoretical intentions, the project did not always translate well into practice. We observe that historic approaches and tools have tended to be neglected in urban regeneration projects and discussions, yet we think that they can bring valuable urban transformations. This paper therefore considers the extent to which historic planning tools and theories can be useful for assessing built projects to provide fresh approaches for urban renovation. This paper will reappraise the concept of the Open Society empirically by analysing, critiquing, and imagining its relevance in twenty-first-century planning projects and discourse. This research uses a mostly qualitative approach through critical cartographies as a main medium and to draw conclusions that highlight the power relations in the Dutch neighbourhood of ‘t Hool (Eindhoven) as well as the local conditions and materials that can enable them to plan for a more resilient future. We aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice through a methodology that allows for a broader and deeper understanding of place, history, potentials, and urgencies.

Title: Taking critical junctures seriously: theory and method for causal analysis of rapid institutional change
Abstract:
Social, political, and economic change sometimes occurs during relatively brief periods in which previously relatively stable institutions are transformed and new approaches established. Historical institutionalists refer to these as critical junctures. Processes of incremental revision and evolution are also important, but if critical junctures sometimes produce enduring legacies, then these processes of rapid institutional change are an important topic for research and theory development. Planning history offers many examples of such relatively short periods of significant change that produced lasting and distinct outcomes in different jurisdictions. The study of critical junctures has been a major theme of comparative historical analysis and historical institutionalism for three decades. This has contributed to the development of robust conceptual frameworks detailing the structure and mechanisms of such change processes and associated research methods that are valuable for planning history and comparative urban research. This paper reviews this research, develops a conceptual framework relevant to planning history and urban governance, and points to processes of rapid institutional change characteristic of cities, suggesting that planning and urban institutions are particularly prone to critical junctures because of multi-level governance contexts, urban complexity, the impacts of urban disasters, and the challenges presented by urbanization and technological and social change.

Title: Housing low-income populations as a Cold War geostrategic tool. The case of the Instituto de Credito Territorial’s Ciudad Kennedy in Colombia
Abstract:
This article demonstrates how two different, but related processes converge in the Ciudad Kennedy neighbourhood, built by the Instituto de Credito Territorial (ICT) on the outskirts of Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, at the beginning of the 1960s. The ICT, the Colombian state agency responsible for building low-income housing, sought various means of addressing a housing crisis that had been exacerbated since the 1950s by significant rural migration into the country's urban centres. In this context, the ICT collaborated closely with the Inter-American Housing and Planning Center (CINVA). In tandem, the U.S. government approved budgeting for the programme Alliance for Progress. This programme for foreign aid and regional cooperation cemented the U.S. effort to consolidate its influence in Latin America as part of its Cold War geostrategy. Housing being one of the Alliance's primary means of achieving its goals, Ciudad Kennedy represented the measure by which the success of American foreign policy in Latin America could be assessed. By considering housing produced by the ICT in Colombia as a geopolitical tool in the 1960s, Ciudad Kennedy illustrates how the U.S. enhanced its relationships with Latin America through U.S. technicians and foreign aid programmes, such as the Alliance for Progress.

Title: Holy green: silwan, design knowledge, and the 1967 making of Jerusalem's Old City Walls National Park
Abstract:
One of the most volatile sites in Jerusalem is the Palestinian neighbourhood of Silwan, at the heart of which lies the City of David archeological site. Much scholarship focuses on the contemporary tensions that arise from its two contradictory identities: an East Jerusalem Palestinian residential community and a Jewish symbol of a mythical past. This article, by contrast, explores a largely overlooked historical moment that has been key to the shaping of these dynamics: the declaration within merely six weeks after the 1967 war of an Israeli national park around the Old City Walls. The article explores how an unrealized British colonial plan for a green belt around the historic walls of Jerusalem was updated in 1967 by Israeli landscape architects using cutting-edge North American environmentalist ideas. Their blueprint, we argue, was crucial to the shaping of the ‘holy basin’s’ spatial logic, landscape imaginaries, and legal structures, necessary to understand the current turn of events. In this process, we highlight the centrality of incorporating longer-term perspectives in the study of contemporary urban realities, bringing into closer dialogue scholarship on present-day urbanism with historical studies of planning and cities.

Title: Immigration, employment, and new town initiatives in Hong Kong
Abstract:
The forces that drove the birth of Kwun Tong new town in Hong Kong are not comprehensively understood. Previous historical narratives have magnified the impact of industrialization or laissez-faire liberalism. This article looks at the formation of Kwun Tong new town from the perspective of migration and employment, and reveals that employment acted as a catalyst to resettlement. The production of space theory and investigation of British colonial archival documents, proposal maps, and aerial photographs reveal that new town planning unfolded relative to spatial coding in Ngau Tau Kok and urban practice in Shek Kip Mei, showing historical continuity. The social and political dynamics of immigrants and how they interactively influenced the built-environment and resettlement are highlighted in this article. Under morphological analysis, critical changes in urban form provide other angles from which to understand how the new town was shaped. In addition, morphological analysis provides a spatial dialectics, filling the research gap of town planning in Hong Kong in the 1950s.

Title: From zeilenbau slabs to community-building clusters. The contribution of Seoul to the planning of mass housing estates, 1962–2008
Abstract:
More than half of the population of Seoul lives today in mass housing estates due to the housing policies initiated by the South Korean developmental regime. This paper aims to assert the degree of typomorphological innovation introduced by the large-scale construction of mass housing in the capital during the second half of the twentieth century to situate their contribution to modern housing. Twelve case studies have been redrawn according to eight morphological categories and compared through a timeline. The study period is structured in four phases to contextualize the cases with the socio-political background and broader housing architecture and planning developments. Stephen V. Ward’s typology of diffusion of modern planning concepts has been adopted as a conceptual framework to evaluate the degree of innovation. The research shows how site planning strategies based on parallel rows of housing blocks were consolidated as the most common morphology in the 1970s under the leadership of the public housing authority. A brief but intense period of innovation followed during the 1980s featuring clusters catering to community-building agendas. Nonetheless, the shift towards the private sector at the end of the decade curtailed housing innovation, and original solutions developed earlier were standardized by the market.

Title: Construction and clearance in Israel, 1960–1975: between the local and the international
Abstract:
This article traces the development and crystallization of urban-planning-and-renewal outlooks in Israel in view of the tension between physical renewal and social rehabilitation. The focus on the coalescence of early Israeli policy (1960-1975) reveals a gradual and protracted process in which the concept of social renewal trickled into the agenda of policymakers and experts. We argue that in the Israeli case, the belated arrival of the ‘bulldozer approach', and the consolidation of the local urban-renewal approach at a time when policymakers and planners in Europe and North America were shifting away from slum demolition, combined with local social circumstances and changes in social policy, ultimately prompted Israeli policymakers to focus on preserving existing communities and favouring residents' co-optation into the process. This analysis of the encounter between Western perceptions of the city, and the consolidating urbanity of ‘new’ states that attained sovereignty after World War II, yields an additional point of view on processes that characterized urban renewal in the second half of the twentieth century. This analysis elucidates the international nature of urban renewal and the reciprocal relations between ideas and knowledge that took shape in the Anglo-American world and those of local legislators and experts elsewhere.

Title: Replanning the central area of Wakefield, West Yorkshire: culture and regeneration, 1990–2021
Abstract:
Towns and cities in the industrial and former coal mining areas of England have often struggled to cope with economic restructuring. This article offers a near contemporary history of the central area of one such city, where culture has become a key device for promoting development and regeneration. Three episodes of policy are distinguished: from 1990 to about 2011, the emergence of a twin-track economic strategy that combined out-of-town business parks with the remodelling of the central area partly on ‘Urban Renaissance’ principles: from 2011 onwards, continued city centre decline when previous investments had little economic impact; and after about 2020, a process of re-orientation; and as part of this, a reinvigorated attempt to rebrand the city, albeit within the continuing framework of the twin-track strategy. A reflexive methodology is used to construct the narrative. That methodology enables a joint consideration of discourse and economic realities, showing how place, branding, and planning come together in representational logics that generate both supportive and counter narratives.

Title: The water heritage of China: the polders of Tai Lake Basin as continuing landscape
Abstract:
This paper examines the long history of planned water and landscape management in China, focusing on the Tai Lake Basin located in the southern part of the Yangtze River Delta. To position this polder landscape within the broad spectrum of water heritage in China, the paper examines the historical perceptions and symbolism of water and its decisive role in shaping Chinese outlooks on empire, urban settlements and landscapes. It then delineates the evolution of polder landscapes in the Tai Lake Basin, which has been recurrently transformed since the fifth century BCE through to their contemporary condition. Despite changing material forms, the polder landscapes in the region evidence continuous endeavour to manage water for both productive (food) and preventive (flood) purposes. The latter part of the paper considers to what extent these polder landscapes might now be considered as a ‘continuing landscape’ – an organically evolved cultural landscape reflecting the changing needs of society, economy, government as well as flood prevention. Today, with few features that are materially historical, their continued existence has been threatened by urbanization, land consolidation and agricultural modernization. The paper advocates historically informed landscape planning to safeguard these dynamic and adaptive agricultural landscapes.

Title: An analysis of the small planned towns built for the workers of the Badajoz Plan dams in Spain
Abstract:
One of the most interesting urbanistic ensembles of the twentieth century in Spain is the towns planned and built near the large dams to provide services for their construction and operation. In the Province of Badajoz four very large dams were built by the central administration, which also promoted the construction of workers’ towns in the surrounding area. These towns are unique components of the rural Extremadura landscape. Without them, the dams could not have been built in the Spain of Franco’s dictatorship, and they are a testimony to action carried out in the territory, how work was organized and how the integrating relationship of buildings and nature was understood as a particular conception of the landscape. This article first reviews the historical context, both from the point of view of planned urbanization concerning company towns and the Badajoz Plan itself. The villages are describe based on field visits and documents found in the AGA archives in Alcala de Henares and the offices of the Guadiana Water Board in Mérida; lastly, the data are analysed, and some conclusions are arrived at.

Title: Petroleumscapes and the urban fabric: a study of hinterland development in Cepu, Indonesia
Abstract:
The petroleumscape has been comprehensively studied downstream from refineries to the retail and administrative footprints of oil space that are generally related to urban agglomeration. Upstream, however, there is less analysis of onshore oil’s origins, typically located in the hinterland and associated with rural areas. This article elaborates on the concept of the petroleumscape in oil and gas extractive areas, which are perceived and conceived of as non-urban, as a nonetheless urban phenomenon. It employs the lens of planetary urbanization by using the term ‘urban fabric’. To illustrate how the urban fabric was produced, appropriated, and contested, the Cepu region and its oil mining were analyzed using previous studies, secondary documents, and news. The results show that the Cepu petroleumscape is a blurred capitalist urban fabric determined by local social and political processes.

Title: The post-war reconstruction planning of London
Abstract:
The replanning of London following the Second World War is, in many ways, a familiar story. However it has often been told in fragments, usually prioritizing the best-known plans and the involvement of Professor Patrick Abercrombie. This paper positions the replanning more widely, considering a hierarchy from region to specific locales, and the problems of fragmented planning within such a structure. It explores issues of agents, agency and authority. The sanitized and orderly vision of a new London is set against a more complex and disordered reality of reconstruction-plan production. The urgency, scale and complexity of the task, and questions of why should ‘author’ plans, are significant issues. The realities of postwar London have been shaped by a messy and misunderstood process.

Title: Institutionalization of Transit-Oriented Development in Tokyo 1868–1945
Abstract:
Many advocates of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) consider Tokyo an exemplary transit metropolis that uniquely relies on private railways. To better understand this enduring practice, this study traces its institutionalization before 1945. It concludes that following the Meiji Restoration, former feudal elites founded a private railway industry consisting of joint-stock companies when the state lacked funds. As a semi-public effort, the industry served the industrial and political pursuits of Meiji Japan. To defend the industry, these elites frustrated the attempt to nationalize railways in 1892 and weakened the extent of the nationalization in 1907. The latter directed private railway capital to the suburbs. By 1929, the elites had incrementally legitimized private railway conglomerates that developed railways and landed properties, including housing estates and commercial facilities, along railway corridors in Osaka and, later, Tokyo. Inspired by railway suburbs and garden cities in the Anglosphere, Japanese TOD was developed as a localized institution in a developmental state: a ‘standard operating practice’ framed by the iron triangle of industrialists, politicians, and bureaucrats. Because its defenders preserved the institution from wartime regulation and automobilization, this semi-public institution, balancing private and state pursuits, contrasted with its global counterparts, and continued to influence post-war Tokyo.

Title: The planning of the Beijing Legation Quarter and the multiple identities of post-colonial heritage (1950s–2010s)
Abstract:
The planning controlling post-colonial heritage discourse has long been influenced by changing political and economic narratives. This paper documents diversified uses and narratives of colonial heritage in twelve plans of the Beijing Legation Quarter, China to investigate the influence of multiple identities in Beijing’s development. By analysing the particular spatio-temporal dynamics in eleven former legation compounds, it presents three planning strategies used in colonial heritage site regeneration (diminishment, transformation, and enforcement) and argues that the ambivalent or paradoxical discourses of colonial heritage in the Beijing Legation Quarter result from Beijing’s multiple cultural identities.

Title: A review of housing policy in post-war Yugoslavia and Kosovo
Abstract:
This study examines the literature on social housing in Yugoslavia and Kosovo, and covers different topics and approaches. By combining findings spanning the periods of development, construction techniques, Yugoslavian particularities, social approaches, standardization, finance, and investment, it takes a comprehensive approach, hitherto missing. The literature review is conducted at two levels: the central level in Yugoslavia and the local level in Kosovo. While there is a massive gap in the local context, the aim is not to fill this gap but to demonstrate how one can begin to address and gain insights into social housing in 1970s Kosovo. The urban planning and design principles that influenced social housing in Yugoslavia were also present in Kosovo, as in other Yugoslav cities, but to varying extents and on a smaller scale.

Title: Corridors as empty signifiers: the entanglement of Mozambique’s colonial past and present in its development corridors
Abstract:
This article examines the infrastructural histories and legacies of three transnational corridors centred on the Mozambican cities of Maputo, Beira and Nacala. Underpinned by physical infrastructures, corridors were central to the extractive European colonial enterprise in Africa. Corridors facilitated the flows of resources, goods and knowledge between metropoles, African urban centres, and their hinterlands. Nowadays, corridors insert African cities and regions into global circuits of capital that perpetuate past extractive practices and policies. They are also powerful imaginary spaces for advancing political projects and developing specific configurations of government. Accordingly, the idea of a corridor may remain useful over time even as claims for their economic necessity ebb and flow. In this article, we examine the continuities between three contemporary Mozambican corridors and older colonial transitways that connected the three cities to British colonial interests in southern Africa. Then, drawing on Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse analysis, we suggest that corridors can serve as ‘empty signifiers,’ becoming linked to diverse understandings, standing for fluid yet enduring ambitions of connectivity, competitiveness, and regional integration. After scrutizing recent investments in the corridors, we reflect on their role in constructing a ‘new’ Mozambican economic order that is nevertheless deeply entangled in the country’s past.

Title: The social psychologist as planner: the pioneering work of Oscar Oeser in urban and rural communities in mid-twentieth century Australia
Abstract:
Oscar Oeser was a polymath import to the Antipodes, primarily known as a social psychologist and as the founding Professor of Psychology at the University of Melbourne. But he was also a very effective network builder, and an important conduit for overseas ideas – not least with respect to urban and rural planning. With interest in urban planning surging in the immediate post-Second World War period, Oeser undertook a joint project with the Head of Architecture at Melbourne, Brian Lewis, along with a number of other notable figures. The project involved surveying and re-imagining the down-at-heel suburb of Prahran. It was ambitious in its empirical scope, and it showcased Oeser's sensitivity to the ‘human elements’ in planning that prefigured current participatory models. Nonetheless, the Prahran project's impact was muted and ambiguous, its data selectively co-opted by local politicians and public servants to serve a pragmatic modernist agenda. Oeser's subsequent planning work featured innovative approaches to designing remote rural communities and indigenous housing. Oeser's overall legacy in planning was thus a historically contingent one: it tells us something about what might have been as much as what was.

Title: Minimum government assistance: planning cottage resettlement areas in post-war Hong Kong
Abstract:
After the Second World War, large squatter areas flourished everywhere, threatening Hong Kong’s safety and sanitation. In 1948, the government took action and required squatters to move to designated resettlement areas where they would be less of a public nuisance. There, evicted squatters could build simple cottages or huts at their own expense. Most cottage resettlement areas were located on steep hillsides unsuitable for permanent development. Interestingly, the cottage resettlement areas were initially portrayed by the government as a solution to the squatter problem, but they have since been deemed a wasteful use of prime urban land. What made the government change its attitude towards the cottage resettlement areas? This study challenges the common narrative that often describes cottage resettlement as a failed squatter resettlement strategy that was quickly replaced by a massive programme to construct multi-storey resettlement estates. It demonstrates the way cottage resettlement was used as one of the means of resettlement alongside the direct government construction of resettlement housing. Further, it shows how the self-built nature of the cottage resettlement areas was preferred by a government that maintained a principal policy of offering only minimal assistance and public funding to squatter resettlement.

Title: Agricultural land change, planning and urbanisation: a case study from Erzurum, Türkiye (1940–2022)
Abstract:
The choices made by governments in different historical periods in pursuit of economic and social development directly impact urbanization processes. This study adopts a theoretical framework involving a layered approach in order to understand the urbanization processes in Türkiye. Particular focus is on Erzurum, as a settlement that evolved from a mid-sized Anatolian town into a metropolis, as well as the environmental effects of urban development, especially on the sustainability of agricultural land, in the light of theoretical debates. The development plans of the city of Erzurum are analysed to understand the path of evolution from the urbanization of the nation-state to the urbanization of capital, which is a topic of particular interest in urban literature, revealing that this capital held decision-making processes in the planning field in its grip, whether at a central or local level.

Title: Layers of reconstruction: the planning history of disaster-prone Kamaishi
Abstract:
Kamaishi in Iwate Prefecture has suffered devastating damage on several occasions, including the 1896 Meiji Sanriku tsunami, the 1933 Showa Sanriku tsunami, the 1945 naval bombardment during W.W. II and the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Each time, the city has recovered. This paper explores the history of reconstruction planning and urban development in Kamaishi and how the city’s landscape and urban space have been shaped by disaster and reconstruction. In the Kamaishi area in modern times, temples, shrines and public facilities have been moved and new infrastructure has been developed repeatedly, after each disaster. The accumulated reconstructions have generated a landscape in which the city is centred on wide streets that form a vertical axis connecting the coast and the highlands. The need to evacuate has been woven into the urban space of Kamaishi through repeated experiences of disaster and reconstruction. In the reconstruction that took place after the Great East Japan Earthquake, new layers and facilities were added for commercial recovery and residential reconstruction, but the underlying intention was to build a network of evacuation routes.

Title: Naples: a city away from water
Abstract:
Over time, a large number of stakeholders have affected the Italian port city of Naples. The millenary history of Naples reveals a port that has been strongly intertwined with the city. Yet, recent history shows a different story. The historical investigation analysed in this article points out a conflict between several different authorities that led the port. As these developed into separate entities they detached people from the water. This article offers an institutional history. Using the concept of path dependence it argues that a past system of decision-making concerning the development of the port city reinforced the separation of land from water in Naples. Path dependence is understood as a resistance by institutions (rules) and actors (decision makers) to changes in patterns of behaviour and a tendency to repeat previous decisions and practices. This article analyses a series of critical junctures so as to analyse the constellation of actors and decisions which have prevented the city from living with water. The article concludes by arguing that understanding the articulated system of past decision-making is a key to (re)conceptualizing the current state of the city and (re)imagining ways by which the city might be reunited with its waters.

Title: Black Arts/West and the ironies of development in Seattle’s ‘Other America’
Abstract:
It is now commonplace to weave arts initiatives into community planning and development efforts. One historical foundation for this practice was the U.S. federal Model Cities programme, which promoted a role for the arts in the demonstration projects it funded. The reasons and purposes for doing so were worked out not by federal officials, but by funded projects on the ground in specific places. This essay tells the story of a federally funded performing arts programme in Seattle – Black Arts/West – and the intellectual landscape its supporters navigated to make a case for art’s role in neighbourhood development. That case was based on a belief that the Black Arts could contribute not only job training and consumer dollars to neighbourhood development, but also a cosmopolitan vision of a welcoming and diverse city. Ironically, even as Black Arts/West helped root the Black Arts in Seattle’s Central Area, it helped establish ways of thinking about the arts and diversity that would contribute to the neighbourhood’s gentrification.

Title: On the police as infrastructure and managers in the African city
Abstract:
Using the example of Nairobi, this article calls for planning practitioners in, and scholars of, African urban spaces to reflect on the role of the police as infrastructure and managers in cities on the continent. While this function is recognized, to a great extent, in other regions of the globe, I argue that both formal urban practice and scholarship on African cities have not duly accounted for how the police are involved in city processes in ways that far exceed their mandate to ‘serve and protect.’ Such recognitions, I contend, will allow for an urban governance that is not only cognizant of and shaped by the experiences of the majority, but also one that seeks to limit the increasingly normalized and problematic urban functions of the police.

Title: Broker power: real estate brokers in the St. Louis Model Cities program, 1966–1975
Abstract:
Evaluations of Model Cities have focused on whether federal officials and local planners lived up to the programme’s rhetoric of citizen empowerment. However, as this case study of St. Louis will demonstrate, more attention is needed to the ways that the local real estate sector influenced and frustrated government officials and community activists alike. Policies of disinvestment in mid-twentieth century cities produced a small but powerful group of landlords and real estate brokers in St. Louis, whose near-monopoly control of the housing market hindered grassroots rehabilitation efforts. In 1967, a Black-led community group known as Jeff-Vander-Lou, Inc. (JVL), found that the ‘slumlords’ who dominated their neighbourhood were too powerful to be compelled by municipal tools such as code enforcement. Realizing they could not defeat the landlords, they reluctantly joined them, and crafted a Model Cities demonstration programme that they hoped could improve housing conditions and attenuate the strangle-hold of landlords on their neighbourhood. As this article will detail, this momentary alliance allowed landlords to influence the St. Louis housing policy for Model Cities and beyond.

Title: Product and process: New York’s Model Cities vest-pocket housing and rehabilitation programme
Abstract:
In January 1966, US President Lyndon Johnson proposed the Model Cities programme to ‘improve the quality of urban life’ in the nation’s poorest areas through comprehensive action and citizen participation. That same month, John Lindsay became mayor of New York with a platform to create a more equitable city. Toward this end, Lindsay’s administration rejected earlier urban renewal approaches, prioritizing infill construction on vacant sites and reusing existing buildings, all while including local communities in the planning process. Eugenia Flatow spearheaded this ‘vest-pocket and rehabilitation programme’ as a ‘head start’ to future Model Cities funding. As she commissioned Raymond & May, Walter Thabit, Jonas Vizbaras, and Fisher/Jackson with housing plans for Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Harlem, she was acutely aware of the resulting tension between a desired democratic process and the timely delivery of the product. A close reading of archival materials reveals how these planners responded in very different ways to the prompt. The governmental programme had created a space of possibility for rethinking the relationship of product and process in planning through the specificity of housing design. The plans also highlighted the paradox in attempting to effect socio-economic change through housing supply, one that still resonates today.

Title: Plague, quarantine, and environmental design in nineteenth century Odesa
Abstract:
The role of urban planning and architecture in mitigating infectious diseases has lately attracted more scholarly attention. The paper explores an epidemic of plague in nineteenth-century Odesa (then the Russian Empire, now Ukraine) and argues that the city's development was fundamentally linked to activities focused on preventing the disease's reoccurrence and creating a healthy urban environment. It analyzes never discussed visual materials from the collections of the Hermitage Museum, State Museum in Berlin, Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), British Museum, and Library of Congress and places them in the context of literary work, mainly travellers’ diaries and memoirs of contemporaries. Although over the last two decades, several publications focused on Odesa's history, literature, culture, and social life came into existence, the urban development and architecture of this metropolis have yet to garner sufficient scholarly attention. The article focuses on primary sources making new attributions of visual materials. It illuminates such essential aspects of urban life as health and hygiene, sanitation, design of open green spaces, and control of air and water supplies. It also helps to understand the architectural solutions for mitigating infectious disease and establishing Odesa as one of the leaders in pandemic-related development at the time.

Title: Marshall Plan or neocolonization? The Model Cities Program and Black planning criticism
Abstract:
This paper analyses the writing of Black activists, planners, and critics to reconcile two opposing perceptions of the Model Cities Program: an initiative known for its elevation of Black elected officials and a program that used the guise of citizen participation to stifle more radical forms of dissent. In 1966, Model Cities emerged in part from the call for a domestic Marshall Plan for Black Americans. Yet as the program began making incremental changes to the country’s neighbourhoods from 1967 to the early 1970s, participants and critics instead began to see Model Cities’ relationship to Black Americans as a new form of colonialism. To determine how this shift occurred, this paper analyses this critical commentary against the archival evidence of Model Cities implementation in the cities in which it appeared. Situating these authors’ arguments within the parallel emergence of Black studies and participatory planning as well as within larger Cold War diplomatic history, planning history, and African American intellectual history reveals how visions of revolution turned into a program of representation. Meanwhile, the plans these figures produced as part of Model Cities point to what a revolutionary program might yet be.

Title: The emergence and evolution of workers’ villages in early New China
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the emergence of China’s workers’ villages, and their changes over time in the 1950s in terms of residential planning and housing design characteristics. The new socialist regime realized in the 1950s numerous workers’ villages around China. Along with the fluctuant Soviet impact and China’s domestic realities, workers’ villages built in different phases during this decade show diverse features in their plans and styles. In this article, the characteristics are analysed by selecting typical cases in each phase. The findings show the workers’ village in early New China was driven mainly by triple reason: realistic demand, political commitment, and ideological instruction. In the first years, before the design and construction were Sovietized, the neighbourhoods were realized by following a western way. Since 1952, Soviet models were applied in China’s workers’ villages. But quite rapidly Chinese architects nationalized the Soviet prototype. From the mid-1950s, workers’ neighbourhoods were gradually simplified due to political and economic policy adjustment. By analysing the evolution of worker villages impacted by multiple factors, this article sheds lights on China’s socialist architectural discourse and supplements the existing scholarship on the transnational socialist architecture.

Title: Unplanned rapid urban growth in Birjand, Iran (1986–2022)
Abstract:
This study investigates the transformation of Birjand from a historic city to a rapidly developing urban centre, with a focus on the effects of infrastructure and architectural development initiatives in the context of urban planning history. These processes are spearheaded by governmental entities, urban planners, and development agencies, use urban design, construction, and financial resources to fundamentally transform the urban landscape. The study employs a descriptive-analytical framework and spatial analysis tools such as ENVI and TerrSet software to investigate the historical social transformations in Birjand. The primary objective is to analyse the impact of these changes on the city’s structure, cultural components, and spatial dynamics. This study aims to investigate the effects of development initiatives on the historic areas of Birjand, with a specific focus on the influence of newly constructed streets on the preservation of the city’s historical fabric. The study’s insights are enhanced through the implementation of a more robust analytical framework, which includes the utilization of statistical analysis and comparison studies. The results indicate that there are negative consequences on the historical regions, resulting in changes to their distinctive qualities, cultural importance, and overall atmosphere.

Title: How did the idea of the garden suburb emerge in the 1970s? An analysis based on the performance of the City of São Paulo Company in São Paulo
Abstract:
The City of São Paulo Improvements and Freehold Land Company Ltd (Cia. City) was founded in London in 1911 to promote subdivisions in the urban fringes of the city of São Paulo. By adapting to the real estate development market in the 1950s and 1960s to expand its market, Cia. City continued as a land developer, expanding its business within the state of São Paulo. This article provides an overview of this trajectory to analyze its performance in the 1970s, based on three projects that it carried out: City Nova Piracicaba, City Ribeirão and City Barretos. Based on the following analyses: the conception of garden suburbs, the relationship with the municipality and legal arrangements; registry practices; as well as designing projects and advertisements, this article presents evidence that shows the permanence of characteristics of its performance until 1970s. The analysis of the three projects demonstrates the company's concern with the urban design of the projects and preserving the brand. The article also reveals that while the idea of the garden suburb remained throughout the whole period, its layouts changed substantially, departing from the original organic parcelling pattern. Otherwise, the proximity and relationship with the pre-existing city determined its location.

Title: The other Tianjin and its concession culture: local residents’ perception of the postcolonial identity of Minyuan Stadium
Abstract:
With the launch of cultural tourism in Tianjin, the regeneration and heritage preservation of the Five Avenues, the former upscale residential area of the British Concession, has been accelerated. In 2012, the public monumental sports building of this area, Minyuan Stadium, was reconstructed into a leisure hub. Subsequently, several local community residents began documenting their memories of Minyuan and their views on its renewal on online We-media platforms. This article explores the residents’ perceptions of Minyuan as portrayed in the unexplored informal online archives and investigates how they differ from the official discourse. The findings reveal that the residents tend to present a dynamic image of Minyuan that moves beyond a Westernized image by highlighting low-cost temporary spatial practice in which ordinary people participated during the post-concession Socialist Revolution and Construction. These residents’ perceptions challenge the official representation of the local culture of the Five Avenues and the image of Minyuan, and contribute to provide an alternative perspective for understanding postcolonial identity construction in Chinese cities.

Title: The urban planning transformation of Jaffa: pre and post-1948 perspectives
Abstract:
The urban planning evolution of Jaffa has been significantly shaped by political dynamics and conflict. Before 1948, Jaffa exhibited a diverse population and a distinctive urban layout reflective of its unique character. The British and Arab vision of the time aimed to expand and modernize Jaffa's urban fabric; however, the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 led to a reevaluation of urban plans to accommodate a growing Jewish population and their vision for a modern city. Focusing on specific neighbourhoods, this article delves into the intricate interplay of social, political, and economic forces that have shaped Jaffa’s urban structure, planning strategies, and development outcomes. Through this examination, valuable insights emerge, shedding light on the role of planning in shaping the social fabric of cities navigating significant historical and geopolitical transitions. The article emphasizes the delicate balance between modernization imperatives and the preservation of cultural heritage, underscoring the significance of fostering social inclusion and pursuing equitable development.

Title: ‘Living beyond its present means’: World Bank push and local pushback over lowest-cost housing for postcolonial Dakar
Abstract:
In mid-1972, the World Bank approved its first loan for a sites and services project, selecting Senegal for the location based on the country's prior experience with similar schemes. Through a close reading of documents in the Bank archive, this article explores the serious differences that emerged between the Bank and Senegal in shaping the project, focusing on three issues: determining whether slum clearance or upgrading should be used to manage existing unregulated urban settlements; eliminating government subsidies for moderate-income housing schemes in order to shift investment to sites and services; and setting appropriate standards for the new Bank-sponsored neighbourhood. Moreover, the partners conceived the project quite differently: while the Bank was fixed on the successful implementation of its first sites and services scheme, for Senegal, this project was only one element of a larger vision for Dakar, which reflected the ambitions of the country's first postcolonial president, Léopold Senghor, and was given shape in the 1967 master plan developed by French urban planner Michel Écochard. The article examines the completed project through the contrasting evaluations produced by the project partners, and considers the complex power dynamics of the relationship between the Bank and Senegal as aid lender and recipient.

Title: Israel’s largest landfill rehabilitation: creative landscape design as a catalyst for a functioning metropolis
Abstract:
Urban rehabilitation of brownfields advances cities' resilience and contributes to residents' wellbeing and nature preservation. This article explores the transformation of one such site-Hiriya, once the largest landfill in Israel-into a large metropolitan park. The rebirth of the area, taken to new levels by the design of German landscape architect Peter Latz, combines a regional solution to problems exacerbated by climate change, drainage, and transportation and brings social recovery to neglected neighbourhoods in the southern Tel Aviv metropolis. We argue that the success of Hiriya's transformation was a national-scale event, resulting not only from an evolved Israeli environmental discourse but from parallel processes including a maturing national planning system, a new approach to water and streams, and an overdue national plan for waste treatment problems resulting from threats to vital infrastructures. Using a range of textual and visual documents, the article examines the processes that led to the transformation of Hiriya and looks at how an excellent design turned Hiriya from a brownfield on the outskirts of the cities into a lively, green, functioning space in an urban setting, thereby providing a regional, even a global, model for creating sustainable spaces.

Title: Local planning in the national provisions of the Polish Building Code of 1928 - a forgotten legacy
Abstract:
Since the political transformation initiated in 1989, there has been a continuous discussion in Poland on the directions of reforming the spatial planning system and the principles of shaping space. It has been accompanied by numerous statutory changes. Despite this, the issue of the quality of local space and the importance of urban composition in the spatial policy remain an unresolved, pressing problem requiring new regulations. In the search for these solutions, the historic Ordinance on the Law of Building and Development of Settlements of 1928, which created the system framework in the spatial development of the country reborn after World War I, is of particular importance. 95 years after the promulgation of this regulation, the system solutions adopted at that time as crucial to Poland's spatial development were analyzed. The aim of the study was to identify tools introduced in 1928 for shaping space at the local level, in the nature of operational urban planning instruments. The identified regulations were confronted with contemporary solutions. The results indicate a strongly marginalized range of tools of real space shaping in the current legislation and the need for changes, referring to the solutions identified in the study as a forgotten legacy.

Title: Taming ‘wild’ Vienna? The handling of informal settlements by the planning authorities – perspectives, discourse, (counter)actions in the interwar and post-war periods
Abstract:
This paper presents a periodized overview of informal urbanization in Vienna in the twentieth century. It offers a new perspective on the evolution of planning discourse and the phenomenon’s handling by planning authorities. The variegated manifestations of ‘Informal Vienna’ triggered an ongoing dispute on how orderly city development could be re-established after 1945. Our approach combines quantitative and qualitative aspects and illuminates not only the shifting significance of informal urbanization over several decades – especially in their lengthy formalization process – but also highlights the co-evolution of formal planning and the Viennese informal ‘grand project’.In a comparative historical analysis based on the evaluation of the balances of formal and informal production of space, previous narratives of Red Vienna’s dominant role in answering the ‘housing question’ in the interwar period (and beyond) are challenged. The frictions it created with the instruments and categories of formal planning, we argue, are crucial to understanding the consequences of informal development in Vienna.Furthermore, we present a typological approach on the grades of informality which allows for a reconstruction of the formalization processes in time. This ‘graduation of informality’ contributes to the ongoing attempts to classify various manifestations of informal urban development in the global South and North.

Title: Conformity and variety: city planning in Taiwan during 1683–1895
Abstract:
This article examines the planning intentions and practices of sixteen administrative cities in Taiwan during 1683-1895, focusing on their relationship with the giant city system of Qing Dynasty. Since Taiwan was brought under Qing’s rule in 1683, sixteen cities were gradually planned and constructed as government seats to achieve spatial governance of new territory. These cities thus became a small but typical group within the entire city system, which included over 1500 members at that time. How were these cities planned and constructed in such remote, undeveloped territories? What principles and methodology had been strictly complied with or actively adjusted in their planning, facing the reality of various topography, unstable policies, diverse social demands, and changing situations of different times? This article attempts to answer the questions from four aspects: city site selection, city-wall shaping, functional facility configuration, and planning and construction sequence. Multiple study materials were employed in this research to reconstruct and analyse historical planning practices, including officially compiled local gazetteers, multisource historical records, digital elevation model(DEM), and field survey data. This study aims to enrich the understanding of city planning history in Taiwan, and to reveal these cities’ conformity and variety to the age-old Chinese city-planning tradition.

Title: Behind the metropolis: understanding Grand Paris through the history of its regional plans
Abstract:
The history of Grand Paris has been partly constructed around the markers provided in the major regional plans that have punctuated the development of the Greater Paris region, from the 1913 ‘Report for the enlargement of Paris’ to the 2009 ‘Grand Paris international consultation process’. By providing an epistemic framework for understanding the major regional plans, this article clearly posits that their history – i.e., both their succession and development – has a structuring impact on the ‘reality’ constituted by ‘Grand Paris’. The research we present here was conducted as part of the Inventing Grand Paris research programme with the objective of visualizing what we have termed the ‘depth of plans’, their contents and conflicts as well as their nature and temporality. To this end, a research device was created in the form of a digital ‘Atlas of Grand Paris plans’. By presenting the vast corpus of archives generated by the development of regional plans, this helps present a nuanced perspective and clarify the complexity of the metropolitan dynamics of Greater Paris. By looking at the possibilities it opens up for understanding the process, this article ultimately explores the way in which the digital humanities can contribute to the history of planning.

Title: Environmental changes and the first Olympic Winter Games. Infrastructure projects for ‘Chamonix 1924’
Abstract:
This paper investigates the infrastructure projects undertaken for the event initially known as the Semaine des sports d’hiver, which took place in Chamonix, France, from 25 January to 4 February 1924 and was later recognized as the first Winter Olympics. Although the already famous resort town was able to use its existing hotels to accommodate visitors and athletes, it also made a considerable investment in the construction of new sports infrastructure. Following an agreement signed just 9 months before the Games, these facilities included a large ice rink, a bobsleigh run and a ski jump. The project was entrusted to the Ponts et Chaussées engineers, who encouraged local firms to help with the construction. Archival analysis will be used to examine the relationship between the project and the changing environment. Our aim is to show how the work in Chamonix modified the environment by exploiting certain natural elements (e.g. water, soil and forests) and, conversely, how the natural (in particular, the geological and climatic) and historical (notably land ownership) components of the environment affected the execution of these works.

Title: Planning ports in proximity: Koper and Trieste after 1945
Abstract:
This study examines the port planning dynamics of the neighbouring ports of Koper (Slovenia) and Trieste (Italy) since the Second World War. Through an analysis of port-related planning documents, it offers insights into how geographical proximity, divergent geopolitical circumstances, and a unique border context have shaped the development trajectories of these two ports. We argue that their spatial planning is somewhat idiosyncratic because the presence of a border did not necessarily condition unrelated planning efforts and vice versa. Max Fabiani was the only urban planner to propose a joint development plan for both port cities in the immediate post-war period. The port and local authorities pursued separate planning paths for the two port cities after the Yugoslav–Italian border was established in 1954. As the border became more permeable, a certain relatedness can be seen in the spatial planning of both ports. The port authorities worked toward a unified port system at the turn of the millennium, but the persistence of phantom borders prevented this. In recent decades of European borderless integration, there are fewer obstacles to planning cooperation. Currently, both ports are planning similar development, such as the expansion of container terminals, which is leading to their increased competition.

Title: The achievement of sustainability and legacies by the host cities of the Summer Olympiads, 2012–2024
Abstract:
Since the emergence of the concept of sustainable development, the Olympic Games have become a vehicle to demonstrate and promote the principles and practices of sustainability. The aim of this paper is to explain and evaluate how the application of sustainable development in the context of the Summer Olympic Games has evolved. Two processes have been influential in this change: first, the institutional expectations of the International Olympic Committee have encouraged greater responsibility towards the creation of legacies by potential host cities through the IOC Charter, the Olympic Agenda 2020, and the Olympic Agenda 2020+5; and second, the context and inventiveness of host cities has created new perspectives on sustainability to secure the event and raise its global profile. This paper will focus on the sustainability benchmarks established in London 2012 and evaluate whether these have been continued or extended in the subsequent editions of the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro (2016), Tokyo (2021) and Paris (2024). The changing discourses reveal the tensions between the IOC’s agendas for the event, the motivations of the host cities and the realities of delivery in changing socio-economic and political circumstances.

Title: The aftermath of failure. Paris, 1992–2012: the urban economy of a host Olympic City
Abstract:
This paper considers the urban consequences of failing to host Olympic Games. Using the example of Paris and its unsuccessful bids to hosts the Olympic Games of 1992, 2008 and 2012, the paper analyses the pre- and post-bid status of key projected ‘Olympic’ sites within the context of urban plans and aspirations of the city of Paris. The French capital attracts special attention because of the rapid succession of submissions that proved to be outbid by those presented to the IOC by the cities of Barcelona (1992), Beijing (2008) and London (2012). The paper will briefly outline the reasons for failing to attract the Games but will devote most of its space for an analysis of the siting of the planned Olympic Villages, which often form the most lasting of legacies of Olympic Games in host cities.

Title: Have the Olympics outgrown cities? A longitudinal comparative analysis of the growth and planning of the Olympics and former host cities
Abstract:
This paper examines the growth of the Olympic Games against that of former host cities to understand whether this mega-event may have ‘outgrown’ its hosts. The increasing hosting requirements and governments’ expansive use of mega-events as tools for urban development would suggest that the ‘Olympic city’ – a term we use for describing the size of the Olympics as hosted in different cities over the decades – has grown at a faster rate than former host cities. The analysis contrasts historical indicators that capture the evolving size of planning for the event based on four dimensions – sport, spectators, marketing and costs – as well as the urban dimension of hosting experiences (venues and infrastructure) with city trajectories based on demographic and economic indicators. This is done through a longitudinal analysis of former Olympic host cities from the 1960s and 1970s and from which continuous longitudinal data are available: Tokyo, Munich, and Montreal. The findings indicate that the Olympic city has grown more strongly than these former host cities, although not uniformly across trajectories. This gives evidence for the need to review the size of mega-event impacts if they ought to continue to generate interest in hosting them in the future.

Title: Is urban planning returning to the past in search of a sustainable future? Exploring the six Paris and London Olympic Games (1900–2024)
Abstract:
Mega events are facing a disruption, despite their adaptative nature, in their continued 120-year growth in a context of environmental and energy crisis doubled by increased ethical and social expectations. We put forward the hypothesis, in the middle term, of a gradual disconnection between (1) mega events such as the Olympic Games and (2) a catalyst effect on urban regeneration and attractivity pursued by host cities; and over the long term, we explore a return to the past characterized by more modest and ‘sustainable’ Games. We first unveil how urban planning was implemented through the Olympic Games over the last 30 years to understand how Olympic urban mega projects have been increasingly questioned as risky and unsustainable and how IOC frameworks gradually adapted to articulate sustainability and legacy. Is it a return to the comparatively modest 1900, 1908, and 1924 and 1948 Olympics exemplified by the new quarters built after the failed 1992, 2008 and 2012 Paris bids? How do historiography and narratives compare Paris and London? Last, we analyse Paris 2024 as an example of disconnection between the Olympics and mega urban project, as included in an existing 30-year metropolitan project focusing limited new infrastructure on local needs.

Title: Replacing place with space: the influences and the challenges of the new norm on the Milan-Cortina Winter Games 2026
Abstract:
As part of its ongoing review of the processes surrounding the hosting of the Olympic Games (OGs), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has set out the Olympic Agenda 2020 and the related New Norm (NN). These reforms, respectively approved in 2014 and 2018 to deal with the growing withdrawal of the bids, are in line with recent management studies highlighting the importance of standardization and replicability in the delivery of physical and social infrastructure. Indeed, they aim to convert development projects, historically-embedded in places, into programmable and transferable spaces of action, in which rules of project management and organization can be applied. The example of the Milano-Cortina Winter Games (MCWG) 2026 is used to assess the first effects and impacts of such IOC's new approach. At the backdrop of the historical evolution of mega-event planning in post-war Italy, the rolling-out of the MCWG is examined at the multiple scales of the Olympic macro-region and of the Milan Olympic Village. The analysis shows that, despite the objectives of the NN to overcome existing tensions and conflicts in the involved places, the Games has only succeeded in amplifying them. Such contradiction demands for a further reflection on this model, that remains under-discussed and under-researched.

Title: Tokyo as an Olympic city across modern history: planning culture as the intangible heritage from a century of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games
Abstract:
Chosen three times as the host city for the Summer Olympic Games (1940, 1964 and 2020), Tokyo's city layout is historically linked to the Olympics. Including the bid project for the 1960 and the 2016 Games, Tokyo has presented five Olympic projects, each time with five different urban visions which enlighten the nature of the past and present political Japanese regimes. The recurrence of the Olympic Games in the planning and growth of Tokyo leads to the idea of a major influence of the Olympics both on the physical evolution of the urban structure but also on that, immaterial, of its planning culture – or, in other words, on the representations, imaginary and practices of the institutional stakeholders of Tokyo's urban fabric. The aim of the paper is therefore double. First, it analyses each urban vision of the Games of 1940, 1964 and 2020. Secondly, it analyses the influence of each Olympic project on greater Tokyo's urban planning and regional development, as well as the influence of each Olympiad on the following ones. Doing that, the paper discusses the formalization of a planning culture through organizing the Olympics on the long run in Tokyo.

Title: The transformation of Beijing as a dual Olympic city: growth, post-growth, and the reimagining of the capital
Abstract:
This article employs an Olympic urbanism perspective on the transformation of Beijing’s planning and development. For Beijing, holding the Olympic Games was not just about staging the city – and the nation – to the world as commonly understood. It was also about transforming the city through megaprojectification – the use of megaprojects like the Olympic Games to boost urban growth. The 2008 Summer Olympics played a critical role in growing Beijing in terms of the economy, population, fixed assets investment, infrastructure provision, and real estate development. Rapid but ill-planned growth within a decade exacerbated many pre-existing problems of the megacity. In the post-Olympic years, big city syndrome became Beijing’s calling card: pollution, congestion, unliveability, and unsustainability. Since then, a post-growth discourse has been emerging, reimagining the capital’s future in the context of balanced, coordinated development of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region. These include the construction of a new city Xiong’an to decentralize Beijing. This post-growth discourse that influenced the 2022 Winter Olympics was a contrast to the growth discourse that had underpinned the 2008 Summer Olympics. Beijing presents an unusual case of holding two Olympics within a short timeframe but under two contrasting urbanisms.

Title: Evolving security motifs, Olympic spectacle and urban planning legacy: from militarization to security-by-design
Abstract:
This paper examines the form, function and impact of previous Olympic security arrangements and their intersection with planning practice. Drawing from prior and ongoing empirical research investigating the security practices at summer Olympic Games, the paper argues that wider shifts towards ‘total' security models comprising continually reproduced security motifs can be observed that are increasingly standardized, mobile, globalized and planned-in. For most Olympic organizers, preparations now necessarily include attempts to equate spectacle with safety and to ‘design-out’ terrorism by relying on highly militarized tactics and expensive and detailed contingency planning. Such securitizing practices have intensified in form and scale since 9/11, with such intensification set to continue at the XXXIII Olympiad in Paris, where a vast security infrastructure is being embedded into the large-scale and long-term master-plans for the central city. This represents a high point in spatial planning practice through embracing principles of security-by-design where Games-time security infrastructure, whilst providing effective protection, becomes a less visible but permanent, physical legacy that can also contribute to local programmes of regeneration, climate resilience and crime prevention. The paper concludes by reflecting upon what the continual evolution of security infrastructure means for the balancing of planned-in security and spectacle at future Olympiads.

Title: The Olympic gap: planning and politics of the Helsinki Olympics
Abstract:
The Olympic Games of 1940 were due to be organized in Tokyo, Japan, but because of the Sino-Japanese war, the event was hastily re-scheduled to be organized in Helsinki, Finland. The Second World War however interrupted the preparations. Instead of 1940, the Games were organized in Helsinki in 1952. It thus became necessary to prepare twice for the same event. During the 12 years that had passed, the political situation had become significantly different, while also views concerning architecture and urban planning had changed. The postponed Helsinki Olympics represent an intriguing case in the history of Olympic Games, that has remained relatively little researched. This paper proposes that this 12-year ‘Olympic gap’ brings to view on one hand the need to prepare twice, and on the other hand, the processual, slow nature of building and planning, which continued almost uninterrupted. A close reading of period newspaper articles, history of urban planning and architecture, as well as studies of the Olympic Games reveals tensions between architecture, planning, and politics on local, national, and international level, as they unravel in the context of preparing for the Helsinki Olympics.
