83. PX Interview Elizabeth Taylor author of'Dry Zones'_PX

PlanningxChange 46 features Doctor Elizabeth Taylor academic and podcaster ('This Must be the Place' – fellow UBC member). Her first book 'Dry Zones: Planning and the Hangovers of Liquor Licensing History' considers the temperance movement of the late 19th and early 20th century and the campaign for 'local control' of alcohol outlets in Victoria Australia. The author makes the case that these campaigns helped form the basis of contemporary planning practice. Also that many of the contested planning battles of today echo the events of 100 years ago.
