IDPR Anniversary Symposium
IDPR after thirty years – what has changed
in Development Planning?
6-7 April 2009, University of Liverpool, UK
Keynote Speakers:
John Friedmann, University of British Columbia
Arif Hasan, Orangi Project, Karachi
Call for Papers
In 2009 the International Development Planning Reviewwill celebrate its
thirtieth anniversary
In print since 1979, the journal has occupied a unique position in the
literature of development planning and has a wide international readership
comprising academics, practitioners, policy makers and students. Much has
changed in the field of development planning and journals publishing and
International Development Planning Review has endeavoured to be at the leading
edge of these changes.
The thirty year anniversary will be celebrated with a Symposium, to be held at
University of Liverpool in April 2009.
Conference Themes
* The State and the Market:or the shift to the Washington Consensus of
the 1980s. In 1978 development was largely state driven, but by the mid-1980s
it was market-driven within the context of the neo-liberal Washington
consensus. By 2008, has the market been driven back by the state?
* Agency: planning and professionalism:In 1978 development activities
were professionalised, and formal planning was basically top-down rather than
bottom-up. How much and why has this changed?
* Third World Development rather than International Development:
Epistemology of development was still dominated in 1978 by modernism and
universalism. The Cold War dominated political relations, and there were only
the beginnings of an Islamic upsurge. Globalisation was a major scenario on
the radar. How has globalisation affected planning discourse and planning
practice?
* Technology: No Internet and word processing was just beginning to
be seen! Communication locally was limited by poor technologies and knowledge
transfer was a problem. How has technology affected planning?
* Rural/urban relations: Levels of urbanisation were still low in
Africa and Asia, and there was much talk of rural/urban balance. There were
few decentralisation or regional autonomy programmes. Now the urban population
is larger than the rural population globally. Can rapid urbanisation continue
to be ‘planned’?
* Social transformation: There is nowa quite different set ofchanging
gender, generational, ethnic, religious relationships; a global
multiculturalism rather than ‘modernisation’ What are the social presumptions
of contemporary development planning?
* Governance:The earlier focus on government as leader in development
planning has shifted to governance as a process of public decision-making
that includes state, private sector and civil society actors. How can
planning processes respond to open forms of governance?
* Liveable cities:The first urban century brings increasing concerns
over the quality of the human experience in city regions, including the
environment, livelihood and community life. How can planning contribute to
urban liveability?
* Globalisation and local development:As global networks of economic
and political power expand and the nation-state becomes ever more permeable,
much of current discourse on development is cast in terms of global-local
relationships, with local including sub-national cities and regions as levels
of policy and action. Why and how can the ‘local’ be planned in a ‘global
world’?
