Special Call for COVID-19 related Abstracts

As we are all aware, the current Coronavirus pandemic has brought about unprecedented changes in our societies and cities and has changed our focus in recent months. This may have deterred many of our colleagues from preparing and submitting abstracts for our Congress. Considering that this is still an ongoing and rapidly evolving situation, the International Society and Regional Planners (ISOCARP) will continue to accept the following special submissions:

  • COVID-19 related abstracts
  • Proposals for special sessions on Planning Practice and Planning Research

To submit your abstract, please follow the procedures here.
