Beyond Universal Theories in Planning, Urban, and Heritage Studies”, held in Palermo (Italy), March 2015. This selection of articles opens many questions about the current state of planning research and theory. It shows how new generations of planning researchers search rich and diverse literatures for conceptual inspiration to help in understanding diverse empirical situations. But because of this diversity, new discoveries may echo findings known to past planning scholars, and new conceptual vocabularies create frameworks with which to clothe ideas previously known, or developing in a similar way through diverse strands of intellectual endeavour. How do all these contributions enrich and deepen the wide field of planning scholarship? This is the question at the core of this volume.

Simone Tulumello is a post-doc researcher at the University of Lisbon, Institute of Social Sciences and former Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the University of Memphis, Department of City and Regional Planning (2016). His research interests are: critical studies of urban security; planning theory and cultures; power and politics in planning; urban futures; neoliberal urban trends; Southern European cities and the geography of crisis.

Patsy Healey is professor emeritus at Global Urban Research Unit in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, Newcastle University. She has developed approaches to collaborative planning practices, linked to an institutionalist analysis of urban socio-spatial dynamics and urban governance. She is a past President of the Association of European Schools of Planning, was awarded the OBE (1999), and the RTPI’s Gold Medal in 2007. In 2009, she was made a Fellow of the British Academy.

Ignacio Castillo Ulloa (Architect, M.Sc. Urban Management) is PhD Researcher at Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Berlin University of Technology. His research interests entail, inter alia, uneven socio-spatial development and alternative disruptive (local) practices that counteract it; critical urban research; and Lacanian theory to explore interrelations among planning theory, research and practice. He was involved in the elaboration of a new regional plan for the Great Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica (funded by EU) and the project ‘Improving governance in secondary cities in Bangladesh’ (sponsored by former GTZ). On his dissertation, he problematizes, within the scope of radical planning and through Lefebvrian spatial analysis, how protest action of urban-social movements may turn out to be a valuable asset to set off local community self-development schemes.
