The AESOP TG on Ethics, Values and Planning continues the conversation and debate on Wednesday 13 October 2021, from 5 to 6 pm (CET) with Ali Madanipour, Sabine Weck & Peter Schmitt on Overcoming the false dichotomy between procedural and distributive justice.
The discussion/conversation will start from a recently published article The concept of spatial justice and the European Union’s territorial cohesion by Ali Madanipour, Mark Shucksmith and Elizabeth Brooks in European Planning Studies and a manuscript under review by Sabine Weck and Peter Schmitt. Both studies address the false dichotomy between procedural and distributive justice through conceptualization of spatial justice and just planning and related policy evaluation and case study research. We aim for a condensed and vibrant discussion on the integration of procedural and distributive justice and its use in planning studies.

Interested in planning theories and thirsty for joint reflection, critical discussion and fruitful enrichment? That's a good match; we too would like to revive the discourse on planning theories and continue thinking about different ones with joy and enthusiasm. In doing so, we are as open as possible, yet critical and interested in the fundamental questions of the black box of planning.
We are currently working on an interesting programme, starting in October, we are planning a monthly Zoom meeting on different topics and in-depth discussions, let us surprise you! If you have interesting ideas or would like to present a topic, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Welcome to the multiverse of planning theories!
Ben, Franziska and Meike

The Innovate4Cities Conference will be an international gathering at the nexus of cities, climate change science and innovation. This groundbreaking meeting will be co-hosted by UN-Habitat and the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (GCoM). It will bring together over 1,000 city leaders, scientists, researchers, innovators, academics, youth and business people to advance pragmatic and action oriented research and science that will help cities reduce their carbon footprint and increase resilience to climate change.
We invite our global network to collaborate with us on the conference program by showcasing the latest science and innovation from academia, city practitioners, policymakers, the private sector, and civil society, helping to bridge the gap between climate ambitions and results. We are calling for submissions with a unique focus on research and innovation across the conference themes, inspired by the Global Research Action Agenda.

Public Lecture Series (online)
The second part of our planning theory lecture series Another city is possible II: Anarchist-inspired practices in the alternative production of urbanity continues previous discussions on anarchist-inspired practices in the urban context and takes a more in-depth look at urban practices and spaces in which central anarchist principles and values such as cooperation, solidarity, self-organisation, decentralisation, or autonomy can be found. Here, we aim to discuss the question of how the idea of freedom from domination relates to planning and its claim to shape and control spatial development. The lecture series is organised by the Chair of Planning Theory and Analysis of Urban and Regional Policies of the Institute of Urban and Regional Planning (TU Berlin) and addresses scholars, students, and the interested public.
May 31 - July 05, 2021, Mondays 6.00 - 7.30 pm (CEST)
