    15. Manuel Aalbers and Iván Tosics: From the financialization of the city to planning for efficient housing
    (AESOP, 2019) Aalbers, Manuel; Tosics, Iván
    The 15th Lecture Series took place at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon, Portugal and featured two talks by Manuel Aalbers and Iván Tosics. The Lecture was organised in collaboration with the final conference of project exPERts: Making Sense of Planning Expertise (coordinated by Marco Alelgra; https://expertsproject.org/). The Lecture was chaired by Marco Allegra and Simone Tulumello and introduced by an AESOP ExCo representative. In the first talk, Manuel Aalbers argued that a new form of urban development is emerging in which processes of financialization play a key role, and focus on the implications for the emerging, global housing crises. In the second talk, Iván Tosics reflected on how planning can contribute to efficient and inclusive housing, and the role of the various actors at stake.

    16. Rethinking Planning in a More-than-human World
    (AESOP, 2019) Hillier, Jean
    Spatial planning is not external to the eco-social realities which co-produce the Anthropocene. I am concerned with spatial planning, its multispecies entanglements and the production of novel ecosystems, including those of damaged landscapes. Many planning systems reinforce hyper-separated categories of ‘nature’ and ‘culture’, reflected in the separation between landuse planning and environmental conservation planning. The ‘unreflected imposition of human primacy upon the desires and habits of other beings’ (Metzger, 2014: 210) and resulting asymmetric ‘negotiations’ between human planners and nonhuman others, have contributed to often-catastrophic changes across the globe. I argue that planning academics and practitioners should think carefully and critically about who speaks for (and with) the nonhuman in place making. I introduce the concept of ‘more-than-human’, as developed in geography and the environmental humanities, to explore new possibilities for productively rethinking the ontological exceptionalism of humans in planning theory and practice. I argue the need to develop inclusive, ethical relationships that can nurture possibilities for multispecies flourishing in diverse urban futures: a co-adaptive, more-than-human multispecies entanglement.
