This presentation offers a comprehensive overview of planning history since its emergence in the late nineteenth century, investigating the history of the discipline, its core writings, key people, institutions, vehicles, education, and practice, examining linkages to other fields.

It combines theoretical, methodological, historical, comparative and global approaches to planning history – a synthetic approach for which there is no precedent. It discusses theories, methodologies and scales, examines select places and typologies, studies key texts and themes in planning, and explores the state of the discipline, its achievements and shortcomings and future challenges.
