My credentials for speaking to you on my chosen theme are that I describe myself as a planning historian. This might invite a certain derision; after all, in some quarters history has a low reputation (did not Henry Ford dismiss history as ‘bunk’, describing it as ‘just one damned thing after another’?) and as for planning, some would see it merely as a fickle and arbitrary discipline where the laws of chance are substituted by those of error. Putting the two together - history and planning - may be tempting fate, the subject readily dismissed as an indulgence.
