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)

- Category: Nordic Planning
Theme: This event will present and discuss some of the current planning trends and ideas in the Nordic countries. What is in particular ‘at stake’ in planning in the Nordic countries at the moment, and how might this relate to a wider AESOP audience? This is partly in order to introduce the recently established AESOP Thematic Group on Nordic Planning, and partly to discuss similarities and differences in Nordic Planning with a broader AESOP and global audience.
Inevitably, in discussing such overall trends, the event will also bring into attention how the COVID pandemic seems to have pushed forward or changed agendas in relation to spatial development and planning. For instance, increases in telecommuting and multilocality, internet-trading and shopping, activity in the housing and second-home market, outdoor recreational activities, etc. How do we see this after the crisis? Based on ‘best guesses’ and some initial views to post-COVID living, what do we think could be the implications to spatial development and hence to planning? Will our spatial governance and planning systems be well suited for post-COVID? What new challenges and opportunities can be expected for planning? New trends towards more rural living? Counter-urbanisation (sub)trends? Reorganisation of general services? Etc.
