Membership is free, and it does not matter whether you are associated with an AESOP member school. Although AESOP has started as a network of European schools, the activities of our TG reach out globally.
 
If you want to become or remain a member, please subscribe to our Google group in just 3 steps:
 
1. Sign in to Google Groups.
2. Search for the group aesop_tg_planning-theories.
3. Click ,Join group' and you will be automatically added to the member list.
 
Even if our opinions often differ widely, our discussions will always be respectful and constructive.
 
Using the phrase planning theories (plural), we emphasize our conviction that theoretical reflections about spatial planning benefit from a diversity of ideas and approaches. Planning theories are not based on the exclusion of disruptive or "false" claims, but rather learn from disruption and investigate the plurality of truths present in the rich and complex world of planning.
 
Young academics are particularly invited to join!

The rationale behind the PM4U project is grounded in the urgent need for projects of urban transformation address a spectrum of issues related to post-war recovery, giving special attention to the integration of lessons learned from wartime experiences. The topics covered will extend beyond the immediate challenges of post-war recovery and encompass broader issues pertinent to all European cities, such as resilience, safety, security, energy transition, climate change, and inclusion.

The roundtable serves as a crucial platform for addressing both challenges and opportunities faced by the academic community and regional authorities in the context of urban recovery. It aligns with the broader goals of the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Program's. Through this initiative, the project aims to contribute to the development of strategies and approaches that can guide urban transformation in post-war settings towards greater inclusivity and resilience.

The primary objective is to facilitate the exchange of lessons learned, knowledge, and best practices among European cities and cities that have undergone post-war recovery processes. This initiative aims to connect the experiences of war, recovery, and transformation, fostering more inclusive, cohesive, and resilient European cities and cities of post-war countries.

Target Audience:

  1. Academic Community:Professors, researchers, and students from relevant disciplines.
  2. Regional Authorities:Representatives from local and regional governments, urban planning departments, and policymakers.
