A review of Peter Hall’s Cities of Tomorrow in celebration of Planning Perspectives 40th Anniversary
Shipping Canals in Transition
Shipping canals have supported maritime traffic and port development for many centuries. Radical transformations of these shipping landscapes through land reclamation, diking, and canalization were celebrated as Herculean works of progress and modernity. Today, shipping canals are the sites of increasing tension between economic growth and associated infrastructural interventions focused on the quality, sustainability, and resilience of natural s…
The Regional Planning Association of America at 100
2023 marks the 100-year anniversary of the first meeting of the Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA) on 18 April 1923 in architect Robert D. Kohn’s office in the Manhattan 1913 Goupil Bu
Southern regionalism
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first meeting of the Regional Planning Association of America in New York City, there is also the chance to recognize concurrent interwar regionalisms from other parts of the United States. Howard W. Odum led the Southern regionalism initiative with colleagues from his Institute for Research in Social Science at the University of North Carolina. The South served as their laboratory, where resource de…
Report from the 19th International Planning History Society Conference
Biomass logistics
The paper focuses on the role of mythistory and the sociotechnical imaginary in stabilizing the links of a particular biomass supply chain running from the forests of Georgia in the US Southeast to diffuse markets across the European Union. Trans-Atlantic wood pellet assemblage demonstrates how mythistories and sociotechnical imaginaries are deployed to opportunistically frame wood as nature, agriculture, and energy as part of governance strategi…
Materiality in the Seam Space
Biomass material volatility generates new opportunities for port-city relationships. Alternative energy markets require specialized port facilities to handle new bulk commodities like biomass. Wood pellets, a type of biomass, present warehousing challenges due to combustion danger. The industrial response to this risk has generated new storage forms for port regions. The return to bulk cargo reintroduces materiality as a focus for port city resea…
Resilience, Path Dependence, and the Port
The article takes an historical perspective on Savannah’s port since 1733 to examine those unique port factors that contributed to the city’s resilience. I review resilience and path dependence literatures for seaport research, and I identify and review three critical junctures from Savannah’s history to explore the port city’s resilience. I then consider how the region once dominated by agricultural production began to move toward an industrial …
