IPHS 2012

The International Planning History Society (IPHS) was inaugurated in January 1993 as a successor body to the Planning History Group, founded in England in 1974.

The Society endeavors to foster the study of planning history worldwide; encourages and supports interest and place-based networks in the fields of planning history; 
 publishes a journal 
and organises conferences.

The proposed theme for the 15th IPHS Conference is "Cities, nations and regions in planning history". It addresses to the persistent question of how to overcome territorial disparities and asymmetries in the sphere of planning history. It is an attempt to detect connections and discontinuities, tensions and superimpositions, both in the processes of urbanization and the planning field. As such, it brings to the foreground practices, concepts, and meanings related to the links between cities, the nation and different regional scales.

The Conference that will be held in São Paulo is the first incursion of IPHS in South America. This is an opportunity to know one of the hugest cities around the world, locus of a multiplicity of ideas and forms of urbanization
