Abstract
- AESOP's 2009 Congress was hosted by the University of Liverpool as part of the centenary celebration of its Department of Civic Design, the world's oldest university planning school. 'Why Can't the Future be More Like the Past?' was the conference title on all the banners and conference bags - an oddly querulous question, nevertheless it did the trick in getting participants to think historically throughout AESOP 2009. Michael Hebbert and Dirk Schubert ran a planning history track for six of the conference's seven parallel session slots. Their call for papers elicited 30 abstracts which reduced to 17 papers, a comfortable quantity allowing good time for presentation and discussion. The track had the fortune to be allocated a wood-panelled Architecture lecture theatre with superb projection facilities - more than one speaker gasped at the glory of their own PowerPoint images.
