IPHS Prizes and Awards 2022

Scholars around the world have contributed important books, articles and digital projects on planning history over the last two years. IPHS celebrates this research through a number of prizes. In line with its mission to foster the study of international planning history, IPHS calls for submissions for various prizes. Through these prizes it also celebrates the legacy of key (founding) members, Peter Hall, Tony Sutcliffe, and other inspirational figures. The prizes recognize both senior and junior scholars and we encourage colleagues to widely spread the call for submissions and to apply.

The due date for all submissions for IPHS Prizes and Awards 2022 is 15 December 2021.

Sir Peter Hall Award for Lifetime Achievement in Planning History

The Peter Hall Award is the most prestigious prize awarded by the IPHS. It recognizes sustained excellence for a body of published work that has made an outstanding contribution to international scholarship and conveyed the relevance of planning history to contemporary planning challenges. The principal criteria for the award are:

1. Quantum of published writings (books, book chapters, journal articles, conference papers, reports, other writings) forming a distinctive and coherent contribution to planning history.

2. Evidence for a sustained engagement with scholarship of theoretical and/or empirical excellence.

3. Evidence of wider impact of research contributions on planning practice and/or policy.

4. Evidence of international impact.

The Peter Hall Award is awarded biennially at the IPHS Conference. It includes a certificate, inscribed medallion, and complimentary registration to the conference at which the prize is to be awarded. The Society reserves the right to not make an award. The award is to a living individual but in exceptional circumstances may be made jointly or posthumously. The award is not necessarily confined to an IPHS member. The inaugural Sir Peter Hall Award for Lifetime Achievement was made to Professor Shun-ichi Watanabe at the 18th IPHS conference held in Yokohama in July 2018. Professor Helen Meller received the award in 2020.

Call for Chapters: Hustle and bustle: The vibrant cultures of port cities

Hustle and bustle is a concept associated with modern metropolises whose centers "never sleep", and it is particularly related to areas in large port cities that are in a constant state of readiness to serve crews and tourists from all over the world. These areas, like an organism, generate noises, movements, and images related to metabolism, developing a life of their own. The hustle and bustle of a port city is not just an experience of sound, images or a metaphor - it is also temporal, social and spatial reality, night lights and crowds of people at the edge of water are important elements of that (Tommarchi & Cavalleri 2020).

These images of the vibrant port city have been and are sustained in a variety of narratives: literary, pop culture, marketing and tourism (Kowalewski 2021). We find references to the mobility, and noise of port facilities, but also to the bustle of the tertiary sector - the spaces that serve the port and the seafarers. The pubs, restaurants, streets, and sometimes crime areas add up to the promise of a city that pulsates and vibrates. The spatial theme is as important as the temporal - the function in daily rhythms, alternately intensifying or quieting - even in the long term. The historical perspective is a foundation for a rethinking of port city culture, as we would like to look at how relevant the memory of the "golden age" of the port city is, the years of prosperity, when ships announced their arrival with a loud siren, and the port and the city remained in a strong symbiosis (van de Laar 2016).

Stereotypes of frenetic port districts with stark contrasts, both bright-neon lit and dark, crime-ridden-- recur in narratives of city governments that attempt to attract tourists by appealing to the promise of vibrant, liveable spaces of entertainment and their integrative/innovative function (‘pleasurescapes’ (Baptist 2020)) They are part of a maritime mindset or port city culture that has long categorized port cities and that merits rediscovery in view of much needed improved collaboration between ports and cities (Hein, Luning, van de Laar 2021)

We would like to deepen the study of these phenomena and contribute to the emerging field of studies on port city culture, situated between urban studies and maritime sociology. We invite scholars to submit texts that expands the understanding of culture and space of the port city.

We are particularly interested in texts relating to the themes:

• Geography and landscapes of hustle and bustle

• Multi-sensory experience of vibrant port cities: Soundscapes, smellscapes and visual scapes

• Port city rhythms (temporality and recurrence) and borders - the dynamic process of shifting the boundaries of city and port, creating new spaces ‘in-between’

• Organic and artificial sources of noise - as intersection of the hum of the sea and the rumble of machinery, noise pollution

• Maritime food culture in port cities - seafood spaces as a tourist attraction, creating whole districts around of food producing

• Political unrest - port cities as space of contention (dockers/shipyard workers protests)

• Night in the port city - nightshift economy

• The port city as node of multiple languages, cultures and religions.

• Forced migration and slavery in port cities - soundscapes of violence and human trafficking. Refugee camps and port cities imaginaries

• The visual aesthetics of the bustle of port districts. Media and pop culture representations of port districts

• Managing the image of a vibrant, living city (port city tourism marketing), the culture of maritime mega-events

We aim to publish this book at Brill Publishing House, within the International Studies in Maritime Sociology series. Please send your Chapter proposals (title and abstract max 200-300 words) by 1st September, 2021 to the issue editors at the following email addresses:
