Day 3 of the AESOP Annual Congress in Łódź, Poland. Lively discussion at the Round Table on "Pushing Critical Planning Scholarship Beyond Criticising".

Oren Yiftachel on creating bridges between critical urban theorists and engaged scholars:

"You have to understand power and at the same time poke it. [...] I think that is what many people in the Global South are doing."

I was delighted to hear that Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was mentioned during the opening of this year's AESOP Annual Congress. Excited to explore Łódź in the following days and discuss with a few of the 550 planning scholars participating in the event.

イソップの、ゼラニウム消毒液(ジェルタイプ)と、フレグランス(タセット)。
そしてオススメしてくれたボディクリームの試供品。香り好きすぎて全部好き。らぶ。

消毒液は実はミニボトルのを前にお試しで買って使い切って良かったので、今回は10倍入ってるボトルで買い。ミニボトルに移しながら持ち歩き用にもできるし家でも普通に使える。良き。

"Please all, and you will please none"

Sometimes fanciful stories convey serious messages. In fact, that's often how #AncientWisdom works. (This is also what I do.)
