AESOP would like to acknowledge Università Iuav di Venezia (IUAV) that hosted the 2019 AESOP Annual Congress in Venice - PLANNING FOR TRANSITION.
We wish to thank in particular our colleagues Laura Fregolent and Francesco Musco for their excellent work in the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) and for all their cooperation and support.
We also wish to extend a special thanks to the other members of the LOC, Filippo Magni, Giulia Lucertini, Matteo Basso, Denis Maragno, Mattia Bertin, Elena Ostanel, and also Anna Marson, Enrico Fontanari, Maria Chiara Tosi, Matelda Reho and Giuli Ernesti for all their work and dedication to the organization of the 2019 AESOP Venice Congress and for their contribution to the great success of this event.
The Italian team has shown an incredible dedication to the task and we would like to extend our gratitude to all the technical staff and volunteers who helped during the congress.
A special acknowledgment goes to Paolo Costa (Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia), Leonie Sandercock (University of British Columbia), Alessandro Balducci (Politecnico di Milano) and Weiping Wu (Columbia University/ACSP) who presented rather stimulating keynote speeches.
Another special word of gratitude goes to all the Track Co-Chairs and Roudtable Chairs and Speakers for their crucial work of selecting and organising the numerous papers and presentations.
The Congress reached a significant number of participants and constituted a memorable event not only for the scientific quality of the presentations but also for the stimulating environment it provided to all the AESOP community.
