[phd.students.socioeco] Fwd: Season's Greetings from the Evolution of Planning Thought Team

[Ann Hartell]

This may be of interest to some. This event was held last year at the TU
and they are beginning to release some of the results of the event.  The
paper in Planning Perspectives (link below) has some interesting comments
about the seduction of numbers.

 Dear friends of the *Evolution of Planning Thought* project,

2014 was a very exciting year for the entire *Evolution of Planning Thought*
team! I am very pleased that so many of you have followed our several
activities and participated in the one or other event, which we have
organised. Your interest and support is of incredible importance for us,
because it encourages us to give everything we can to move on with our
exciting, but also very challenging, project.

For me personally, the EPT Vienna Symposium, which we organised in May 2014
at the TU Vienna, Austria, was the absolute hallmark of this year's
activities. Bringing together 14 renowned planning thinkers (average age
74) in one place for an entire week was like making the impossible
possible. By the way, have you already seen our Youtube Video clip "First
Glimpses" (http://youtu.be/q4Xxkzst0jM). If not, watch it! It is a short -
6 minutes - video highlighting some selected key messages from the EPT
Lecture Series. For your information, the videos of the entire lectures
will be made available online on our website (
http://info.tuwien.ac.at/planning-thought) at the end of next year together
with the book launch.

In addition you might also want to ...

What have we planned for 2015?
In July 2015 we will run a keynote panel discussion as part of the AESOP
2015 conference in Prague (16 July 2015, 15.30-17.00) and finally, if
everything works out as planned, we will organise a book launch event at
the end of 2015 (most likely December) at the TU Vienna, Austria. This book
launch event will take place as part of the 200 years anniversary
celebrations of the TU Vienna.

We are looking very much forward to many fruitful and inspiring discussions
with you also in 2015 about what planning is and/or should be! I think that
together we have the chance to further our planning field and by doing so
to continue the journey which our renowned planning thinkers have started
some 50 years ago.

I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Trixi Haselsberger
(for the EPT project team)
