Urban Futures: 
Visioning the Planning of Places Through Innovation

This talk will consider the ways we can renew planning to meet the complex needs of the 21st century, by moving away from 20th century tools and methods. We need to adopt an ambitious series of measures that develop bold city visions, foster partnerships across different sectors, embrace foresight and futures methods within planning systems, and facilitate place innovation. That means moving away from standard approaches and rather adopting a suite of different planning styles. Only by capitalising on place assets and by taking long term perspectives will we begin to make planning relevant through projects that are visible and meaningful for all.

Beyond Sustainability: Reimagining Planning Through Degrowth and Care

To reimagine planning, we must move from managing growth to nurturing life-human and more-than-human
