Unfilled posts and poorly targeted employment initiatives

Flashback to Cliff's Planning columnsBy Cliff Hague24. January 2023Leave a comment

My column in Planning in 1987, has a contemporary feel in 2020 as issues of mass unemployment and Council cuts come to the fore once again. A Director of Planning post left unfilled to save money. Doing away with planning. Why I gave up on RTPI Council. The interplay of place and class in labour markets. This…

Amsterdam, Formation of AESOP and a trip to a Planning Committee

Flashback to Cliff's Planning columnsBy Cliff Hague24. January 2023Leave a comment

My “Diary” article in 1987 records the formation of the Association of European Schools of Planning, AND of the Scottish Torquay United Supporters Club (which has not proved as long-lasting). The article was first published in Planning on 11 December 1987 and is reproduced with the kind permission of the editor. It has two parts, so to…

Lord of the (Pineapple) Rings

Flashback to Cliff's Planning columnsBy Cliff Hague24. January 2023Leave a comment

In a week when my term of office as President of the Royal Town Planning Institute came to a close, I also faced being made redundant. This largely inconsequential article that I wrote in 1997 is redeemed by the photo of me wearing my Eric Cantona T-shirt while meeting a pirate. It also provides some…

Berlin, June 1989

Flashback to Cliff's Planning columnsBy Cliff Hague24. January 2023Leave a comment

A chance to read my monthly Diary in Planning from June 1989, which starts in Berlin just months before the Berlin Wall came down. It also looks at the Adam Smith Institute’s ideas for privatising streets – an idea that might be revived post-Covid19? Of course there have been many gated communities developed in the meantime.  Click here to read…

Life as a Planner in 1973

Flashback to Cliff's Planning columnsBy Cliff Hague24. January 2023Leave a comment

Back in 2006 I wrote an article in Planning, which recalled my working environment in 1973. Here it is. In 2006 Life on Mars was showing on TV, re-imagining the world of policing in the sexist 1970s where bad fashion choices were all the rage. My recreation of that early 1970s period in planning history, when I was…

Re-inventing Planning – World Urban Forum 2006

Flashback to Cliff's Planning columnsBy Cliff Hague23. January 2023Leave a comment

The 2006 World Urban Forum was a significant step on the road to creating a New Urban Agenda. Here is my first hand account from July 2006 of how we went about re-inventing planning.  This article was written during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and is reproduced here by kind permission of the editor of…

A high rise future?

Flashback to Cliff's Planning columnsBy Cliff Hague23. January 2023Leave a comment

My article in January 2000 looked back and gazed into the future. How well did I do in anticipating change in British cities, planning and higher education? This article first appeared in Planning 14 January 2000. It is reproduced by kind permission of the editor.

The Stern report 2006: an economic case for action on climate change

Flashback to Cliff's Planning columnsBy Cliff Hague23. January 2023Leave a comment

The Stern Report in 2006 seemed to signal a shift in attitudes to climate change. The article imagines a discussion between a Treasury mandarin and a businessman. Would this case convince Donald Trump or big business today?  This article was first published in Planning on 1 December 2006, and is reproduced by kind permission of…

South Africa 1995

Flashback to Cliff's Planning columnsBy Cliff Hague20. January 2023Leave a comment

In 1995 I was invited to speak to a landmark conference in South Africa for the transition of planning after apartheid. I reported  on my visit in my monthly magazine column. This was first published in Planning Week, 14 December 1995.
