Parent Category: THEMATIC GROUPS

The thematic group on Public Spaces and Urban Cultures was responsible for TRACK 08: PUBLIC SPACE Planning for cultural diversity, peace and the experience of places.

This track had a total of nine sessions with the following topics:

  • Peace and inclusion

The track hosted a total of 51 presentations. The sessions were well attended, and discussions continued beyond the track sessions during the congress.

Members of TG PSUC also organised and participated in special sessions/ roundtables on the themes: Unlocking the future of planning; Built environment education; (Un)Care and Austerity. Learning From New Urban Care Commoning Practices and Policies part I;

(Un)Care and Austerity. Learning From New Urban Care Commoning Practices and Policies part II; Doing Justice To Time-Sensitive Urbanism Part I

The annual TG PSUC meeting was held during the conference, in the presence of three of its Advisory Board members, current members, and congress participants. The presentation and update on TG PSUC’s activities were followed by a brainstorming session for the next 2024-2026 theme, which will be used as the basis for preparing the new call for contributions.

TG PLANNING THEORIES (PLURAL) LAUNCHES LISTSERVE

Parent Category: THEMATIC GROUPS
Category: Planning Theories
Published: 19 July 2024
Dear all,
 
who are interested in planning theories: Join the AESOP Thematic Group „Planning Theories (plural)“, co-coordinated by Ben Davy (TU Dortmund University / University of Johannesburg), Franziska Sielker (TU University Vienna / University of Cambridge), and Meike Levin-Keitel (University of Vienna).
 
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!
