The first online meeting for the new AESOP Thematic Group Planning Theories and Practices for Global South Date: 15th July 2022 Time: 1500-1630 hrs (BST)
Dear AESOP Community,
Please join us for the first meeting of a new thematic group on “Planning theories and Practices for Global South”.
We are interested in exploring the topic in different constellations and from different perspectives, extending a warm invitation to the interested members to join the group. This group is expected to provide us with a common ground, enabling outreach for the entire AESOP community and beyond, on different occasions and from different perspectives. To initiate the dialogue, we will begin introducing our ideas and positions that inspired the emergence of the thematic group.
This will be followed by a brainstorming session to explore related topics, networks, projects, outcomes, and future activities. During the meeting, we will also register interests from various sub-groups, to take and lead thematic activities for the first couple of years.
Please note that this group is NOT limited to AESOP members and only those who are experts in planning within the contexts of the Global South. All are welcome to bring ideas and interests to our first online meeting at the margin of the AESOP congress.
With regards and thanks
Chandrima Mukhopadhyay

Invitation to Conflict in the city: Approached, methodologies, experiences in urban conflicts research. Lecture Series (online). June 14 - July 12, Tuesdays 18:00 - 19:30 s.t. CEST (except on 05/07: 16.00-17.30 s.t.)
Research on conflict, (ant-)agonism and insurgent practices is an important and variegated strand of urban studies. Compared to critical scholars’ engagement with protests and mobilizations against hegemonic urban development politics and planning and with emergent alternatives in the production of urban space, there seems however to be little explicit reflection on how to develop research programmes and on how to conduct research in this field of practices. This lecture series presents a select review of current approaches to research on urban conflicts, and focuses explicitly on exploring the programmatic framing, epistemological perspectives and methodological choices involved in urban conflicts research.

The ongoing COVID pandemic, the negative effects of private motorized transport, and the advancing climate crisis have led to a steady increase in interest in active mobility and accessibility through proximity in recent years. Especially, the concepts of the “15-Minute City” and the “20-Minute Neighbourhoods” have been promoted as blueprints for future urban planning. They promise to deliver more sustainable, liveable, resilient, and equitable cities by creating dense and diverse neighbourhoods with destinations in proximity to peoples’ homes. These concepts thus tie in with themes that have long been discussed in the literature on accessibility and urban planning. However, questions remain on how the x-minute city concept be operationalised and assessed, how the concept relates to physical, perceived and virtual accessibilities, how the concept affects different groups of residents, including vulnerable population groups, how the concept translates to different types of areas, and how the concept articulates with urban agglomeration scale policies. Furthermore, there are questions on how x-minute city planning goals can be achieved in practice, and the inclusion of virtual accessibility to jobs and services (teleworking, online shopping etc.). This special issue tries to find answers to these questions and seeks to bridge the gap between planning practice surrounding the x-minute city and the accessibility literature

Transport Planning for a Net Zero Future - Journal Transportation Planning and Technology
Special Issue Editor(s)
Simon Blainey, University of Southampton, UK
Stephen Ison, De Montfort University, UK
The imperative to achieve ‘Net Zero’ emissions is becoming an increasingly prominent driver for planning and policy-making in a range of fields. It is particularly important in the transport sphere, given both the significant contribution made by transport systems to overall global emissions and the relatively limited success to date of efforts to reduce transport emissions. This special issue of Transportation Planning and Technology aims to explore both the implications for transport planning of the drive to reach ‘Net Zero’ and the nature and likely effectiveness of transport planning interventions which could help to achieve this goal. Potential topics could include (but are not limited to):
- Comparisons of different transport planning strategies and approaches to reach Net Zero
- Case studies and comparisons of innovative planning interventions designed to reduce transport carbon emissions.
- The implications of Net Zero requirements for transport governance and regulation
- Trade-offs or co-benefits between Net Zero and the achievement of other transport planning goals
- Methods for assessing the likely effectiveness of Net Zero policies and plans in the transport sector
- Integration of transport and land use planning to facilitate lower carbon lifestyles
- Methods for influencing travel behaviour to reduce transport carbon emissions
- Planning for transport carbon emission reduction in the Global South
Submission Instructions
As with any paper submitted to Transportation Planning and Technology, all papers submitted should demonstrate an actual or potential practical contribution to the planning of improved transport systems or the use of technology to improve the functioning of transport systems. All papers should also be based on robust empirical evidence, as papers which are primarily based on the authors’ opinions without presenting a clear framework of analysis will not be considered.
This is the first in a set of special issues which are being planned to mark the 50th anniversary of Transportation Planning and Technology. Details of further special issues will be published on the journal website in the coming months.
Abstract submission deadline: 31 July 2022
Full paper submission deadline: 30 October 2022
