Reflecting on my involvement in planning education at RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) University since the early 1980s and with Urban Policy and Research, 1982–2003, there was a degree of optimism about what urban planning, through education and publication, might achieve, given the relatively favourable political and institutional circumstances of the time.

Looking back, I consider how I, as a teacher and a researcher, and UPR now a commercial journal, adapted to these challenging times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
