DPU60 Conference - Thinking Across Boundaries: Re-Imagining Planning in
the Urban Global South
Registration is now open for our DPU60 Anniversary Conference. The event will be the highlight of a year of celebrations marking the DPU’s 60 years of education, training, research, consultancy and knowledge sharing in urban and regional development policy and planning in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
A range of speakers drawn from academia, practice and community organisation will come together with DPU staff, past and present, students, alumni, and others to deliberate on critical issues that guide the field of development planning. The themes of the conference are:
A future for urban development planning? Thinking across boundaries
A future for urban development planning? Approaches to urban inequality and informality in cities of the global south
Participation and contested practices in urban design and planning: rights, needs and urban imaginaries
Re-imagining socio-environmental trajectories of change: Radical practices and approaches to environmental planning and governance
Forging new relationships in governance and planning: the state, market and society in a post economic crisis world
Urban Development and development assistance
Gender, intersectionality and socially just futures: Planning in an era of social polarisation
Positioning planning learning in an urbanizing world: the challenge of practitioner formation and the co-production of knowledge
The event will also see the launch of the 'DPU Reflections Working Paper Series' and 'The DPU’s first 60 Years: A Short History' booklet.
