The Evolution of Planning Thought: First Glimpses

John Friedmann, Patsy Healey, John Forester, Cliff Hague, Michael Batty, Klaus Kunzmann, Peter Hall (via Skype), Judith Innes, Andreas Faludi, Charles Hoch, Louis Albrechts, Gerhard Schimak, Rachelle Alterman, Barrie Needham and Peter Marcuse met at the Vienna University of Technology, Austria – for an entire week in May 2014. But why?
All of them came to explain, with the help of their own intellectual biography, how and why they have developed theories and conceptual tools, how these conceptual tools shaped the development of practice, how these planners organised themselves increasingly at an international and global scale, and the conceptual, institutional and practical lacuna that remain to be filled. The Vienna symposium, an important milestone in the Evolution of Planning Thought book-project, took place as part of the 200 year anniversary celebrations of the Vienna University of Technology, Austria.

The complete videos of the Lecture Series will be made available in 2015 together with the Book Launch.
