As cidades e os territórios como objeto de observação
são resultado de teorias e práticas relativas a diversos
campos disciplinares. Intenções e decisões de uma
sociedade, de grupos sociais ou de especialistas são
tratadas como iniciativas em resposta às dispersas e
convergentes exigências em diversos espaços e
segundo várias temporalidades.
A história da cidade e do território tem se constituído em abordagens que dialogam com a disciplina
do urbanismo. No campo do urbanismo estes objetos
têm sido delineados por teorias e práticas que procuram não só antecipar como fazer acontecer um possível futuro, requerendo assim um contínuo
movimento de crítica das heranças e inovação das
suas ordens constitutivas.
O presente da cidade, do território e do
urbanismo requer a exploração das heranças teóricas
e práticas, mas também o estabelecimento de elos
comparativos superpondo espacialidades e temporalidades.
The 2008 IPHS conference coincides with commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the creation of the
Burnham and Bennett Plan of Chicago, one of the
major landmarks in modern planning history. This
was a privately produced plan ultimately adopted as
public policy. The interplay between the private
interests of business, individuals and non-governmental organisations versus the more public interests of
the state evident in the Plan of Chicago has been an
enduring theme in the history of planning. The
relationship has changed dramatically over time. In
the pre-modern era, public planning affected only a
fraction of the built environment. The 20th century
saw a vast expansion in the practice of public
planning in almost all democratic societies. There has
latterly been a major reaction against purely public
planning and a rehabilitation of the idea of more
private planning, often in the form of privatization,
expanded use of market mechanisms, and publicprivate partnerships. The 2008 IPHS conference will
seek to shed light on this creative tension within
planning history.

The European Association for Urban History was
established in 1989 with the support of European
Union. Conferences are organized every two years.
These biennial conferences provide a multidisciplinary forum for historians, sociologists, geographers,
anthropologists, art and architectural historians,
economists, ecologists, planners and all others
working on different aspects of urban history. The
invitation is extended to all scholars who make urban
history a distinctive and innovative subject.
