An utopian/anti-utopian opposition persists today in virtually all domains of urban theory and practice with nuances and a variety of attempts to supersede it. On the occasion of this anniversary the Simon Fraser Urban Studies Program and the Humanities Institute are organizing a panel to initiate discussion on aspects of utopianism today with specific, but not exclusive, reference to its urban incarnations, including in the Lower mainland. Themes will depend upon those comprising the panel, but might, generically, address the questions of whether and how utopian thinking informs contemporary theories and practices and, to the extent that it does, whether this is a good thing.
