“…A good example is the emphasis on municipal technicians, enlightened amateurs and official delegations of town councillors in Pierre Yves Saunier's () account of the ‘transboundary formations’ created by the municipal movement during the early twentieth century. Planning histories also offer an important means of recognizing the complex patterns of collusion, negotiation and interaction that are involved in the travel of urban plans, ideas and policies, especially to cities of the global South (Nasr and Volait, ; Beattie, ; Perera, ; Griffiths, ). Rather than leading to policy mimicry or geographical homogeneity, urban plans are shaped and hybridized by local actors in what can be understood as a complex traffic of ideas.…”

This symposium creates and stimulates new dialogue and cross-disciplinary exchange between planning theorists and geographers in researching the transfer of urban policy and planning models, ideas and techniques. The symposium challenges a restricted historical focus in much of the emerging geographical literature on urban policy mobilities by drawing on a rich tradition within planning history of exploring and documenting the trans-urban travel of planning ideas and models over the last 150 years. It is argued that this longer-term perspective is required to highlight important historical continuities and institutional legacies to contemporary urban policy circuits and pathways and to question what is particularly new, distinct and innovative about an intensification in the travel of urban ideas, plans and policies over the past decadeand the accompanying scholarly interest in them. The symposium also uses the emphasis

“…These hybrid identities may take many forms, such as those integrating colonized and colonizer, or local and extra‐local, or more generically two or more ethnicities. As Martin Beattie (; ) notes, Bhabha's hybridity entails more than simply a moment of cultural merging. In addition, building upon Bakhtin's distinction between organic and intentional hybridity, Bhabha argues that in colonial hybridity, by entering into dialogic interaction with colonizers, the colonized subversively rearticulate colonizing elements.…”

This article analyses the creation and implications for cultural identity of a hybrid tourism landscape on Taiwan's Orchid Island (Lanyu). It particularly argues that Lanyu's native Tao people have begun to gain a somewhat stronger cultural identity and autonomy through this landscape. Orchid Island underwent rapid modernization within the past 60 years. The article not only shows how tourism was imposed by Taiwan's government, but also how the Tao have made greater use of tourism's landscape over time for their own purposes. Not without sociocultural problems and contradictions, Lanyu's tourism landscape has been polysemic enough to allow for gradually improving relationships between Taiwanese and Tao and for gradually increasing Tao participation in modernity on their own terms.

“…It is a blind spot in part redressed by a forthcoming theme issue of International Journal of Urban and Regional Research convened by Susan Moore and Andrew Harris (Moore and Harris, forthcoming) on planning histories and the practices of circulating urban knowledge. The scholarship on planning and architectural mobilities is ongoing and has been rejuvenated by postcolonial and transnational theoretical developments (see, as examples, Beattie, 2004; Brown-May, 2008; Healey and Upton, 2010; King, 2004; McNeill, 2009; Nasr and Volait, 2003; Perera, 2004; Saunier, 2002; Saunier and Ewan, 2008; Vidyarthi, 2010a, 2010b; S.
