Call for Abstracts 35th AESOP Annual Congress

2022-11-22

The 35th AESOP Annual Congress 2023 that will take place in Łódź, Poland, 11th – 15th July 2023. The central theme of the congress is ‘Integrated Planning in the World of Turbulence’. It reflects the current challenges for a sustainable future. On the one hand, space becomes an increasingly valuable resource, and its values and territorial dimension become essential to the development and growth processes. But on the other hand, it requires more and more flexible adaptation of its development patterns to changing trends and forecasted challenges and problems.

Global turbulence raises the question of the effectiveness and legitimacy of using the existing, more traditional planning approaches based on the methodology of long-term strategic planning aimed at building stable foundations for the development of society and - in contrast to this - searching for new approaches corresponding to the indicated planning challenges in conditions of high uncertainty of events, risks and anthropogenic and natural hazards.
