The Department of Urban Planning and Policy (UPP) at the University of Illinois, Chicago (UIC) organized a retirement farewell on 31 March 2017 celebrating the almost 37 years-long dedicated service of Professor Charlie Hoch to the planning field. More than 100 members of planning fraternity, program alumni, and university leadership attended the event featuring invited speakers and testimonials from Professor Hoch’s longtime colleagues: Bishwapriya Sanyal, John Forester, and Niraj Verma. Subsequently, Professor Sanyal suggested—and the editors of this journal readily agreed—that the contributors compose a colloquium, drawing from the presentations made at the retirement event, reflecting upon Hoch’s contribution to the pragmatist planning tradition and influence upon their own scholarly work that the journal’s readership should find useful.

查尔斯·霍奇（Charles Hoch）：讨厌的实用主义者

芝加哥伊利诺伊大学（UIC）的城市规划和政策系（UPP）于2017年3月31日组织了退休告别活动，庆祝查理·霍奇（Charlie Hoch）教授将近37年的奉献精神。计划博爱，计划校友和大学领导的100多名成员参加了此次活动，邀请了霍赫教授的长期同事Bishwapriya Sanyal，John Forester和Niraj Verma担任演讲嘉宾和感言。随后，Sanyal教授建议（并且该期刊的编辑很同意），从退休活动的演讲中，供稿人组成一个座谈会，反映了Hoch对实用主义计划传统的贡献以及对他们自己的学术工作的影响。该杂志的读者群应该有所帮助。
