As a result of an election procedure open to everyone interested, the AESOP Planning/Conflict Thematic Group (TG) has chosen the members of the new coordination team (in alphabetical order):

- Francesco Campagnari, Centre for Research on Environmental and Social Change, University of Antwerpen

- Neeklashi Joshi, Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER)

- Carolina Pacchi, Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU), Politecnico di Milano

The new coordination team will be further supported by former coordinator Enrico Gualini (TU Berlin) and will soon meet to start organising and defining future activities.

The AESOP Planning/Conflict Thematic Group of course is intended as a collaborative effort and is open to contributions and suggestions for initiatives by all scholars interested in the topic of conflicts in urban development and planning. Specific modalities for this will be announced soon. Should you already have contributions and suggestions for initiatives to make, please reply to this email and your input will be considered for coming meetings.
