Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In this session we'll take an exciting tour through the history of municipalism alongside people who have studied it or lived through it first hand. We'll explore the examples of Spanish municipalism in the early 19th century, Italy’s Take Over the City movement of the 1970s, progressive cities in the US under Reagan and the Greater London Council that stood up to Thatcher in the 80s, and we'll identify the lessons that they hold for contemporary movements and governments.

Speakers:

Pamela Radcliff, Professor and Chair of the Department of History at the University of California, San Diego. Su investigación actual explora la larga tradición de los movimientos políticos municipalistas en la historia española contemporánea. 

Pierre Clavel, Professor Emeritus at the Department of City and Regional Planning, Cornell University. Author of “Activists in City Hall” 

Owen Hatherley, Culture Editor of Tribune. His latest book, Red Metropolis: Socialism and the Government of London, is now out from Repeater Books
