Antigone, today: Dignity and human rights in contemporary spaces
Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2020): Planning for Dignity; page 1-6The tragedy of Antigone revolves around the theme of conflict. Both the version written by Sophocles and the one by Jean Anouilh are mainly focused on conflicts. The conflict between Antigone and Creon is real and symbolic at the same time. It is the conflict between a woman’s body and the law, between women’s and men’s conditions, between two anthropologies. It is also a conflict between two opposite ethical perspectives, and two opposite political visions. It is the conflict between the rule of individuals and the rule of laws, between non-violence and violence, social responsibility and individual egoism, and self-identification and identity. The conflict between Antigone and Creon is the heterogeneous sum of many conflicts. If we try to fit all conflicts within a broader framework, we could say that Antigone’s choice of disobedience raises the high-level conflict between human dignity and the law. This conflict takes place within the positive law and cannot exist outside it. Human dignity cannot elude the law, since it is rooted within the legal system. It does not, however, originate from it, but its finalisation is actually in the law; where gaps and fallacies are revealed. Its strength lies in the lack of a definition. Human dignity helps the law to regenerate and not become locked in a formal stronghold

Looking back to look forward: Reflecting on the legacy and future of the European spatial development perspective
Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2020): The Legacy of the European Spatial Development Perspective; page 95-98The European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) (CEC, 1999) was a policy document produced and agreed jointly by EU governments during the 1990s with the support of the European Commission (Faludi and Waterhout, 2002). It was intended as an indicative framework to guide spatially significant public policy making in the EU at all spatial scales from the Community level, to the regional and local levels. A non-binding policy statement, the ESDP sought to guide institutions in the exercise of existing competences which influence spatial development and its application was to be through voluntary co-operation based on the principle of subsidiarity. Integrated application of the ESDP policy options was to be achieved by a reorientation of national spatial development policies and community sectoral policies, at three levels of spatial co-operation - the (European) Community Level; the transnational/national level; and, the regional/local level. In order to achieve this, the ESDP called for ‘horizontal’ co-operation between the authorities responsible for sectoral and spatial policies at each administrative level as well as ‘vertical’ co-operation between the different levels - for example, between the national and local level. The extent of its explicit and implicit application was the subject of academic and policymaker reflection in the years following its adoption (see ESPON, 2006) with its degree of influence being seen as variable across contexts and scales.
This special issue brings together a series of papers written in the period between the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the ESDP in Potsdam, Germany in 1999, and the adoption of the new EU Territorial Agenda 2030 (MRSPTDTC, 2020) in December 2020. This seemed an apposite moment to reflect on the legacies of the ESDP and the present and future prospects for European territorial development and urban policy
The enticement of the ESDP: Motivating (future) planners to engage with EU policies
Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2020): The Legacy of the European Spatial Development Perspective; page 133-145The impact of European policies strongly depends on their interpretation and application by domestic actors. This is especially true in fields such as European spatial planning and development, which are characterised by informal agreements and fragmented competences. Consequently, EU policies only gain importance if domestic actors consider them relevant and establish links to their respective areas of influence. The European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) is often regarded as a success story in European spatial planning and is relatively well known among planners across Europe. The Territorial Agenda documents, often considered successors to the ESDP, have not been met with the same enthusiasm and interest. This contribution uses the concept of storytelling to explain why the ESDP was at least partly successful in appealing to planners. Moreover, it discusses the role and importance of planning education in fostering interest in European spatial development
The right to spatial development for human flourishing
Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2020): Planning for Dignity; page 22-32This paper explores the literature on spatial development for people’s multifaceted well-being and the rights to the city, and argues for people’s right to live with dignity in cities. Nature and people-friendly spatial developments are fundamental to nourishing capabilities of human beings and realising their well-being. However, in reality, spatial developments are determined by legal planning and development regimes and socio-cultural discourses. These allocate different ‘claims, privileges and power rights’ to different stakeholders, and the results may not contribute to human flourishing. This paper attempts to synthesise an evaluation framework to achieve flourishing life with dignity in cities
Master Programme in Regional Planning (Yildiz Technical University)
Get PDFYildiz Technical University
41.02616875272369, 28.89221330421556
https://ror.org/0547yzj13The Master Programme in Regional Planning delivered at the Yildiz Technical University is distinctive in its focus on the policy agenda at the regional scale. It brings together the following aspects of quality in planning education:
- Programme Curriculum and Identity
o An effective blend of core and elective subjects focused on regional planning with excellent exposure to international connections and networks. A good blend of theory and practice delivered by a well-qualified team in relation to the nature of the programme objectives.
o The focus on contemporary societal changes, such as income inequality, resilience, access to public service, stagnation at regional and local scales.
o Opportunities for students to develop critical thinking and reflective practice through comparative analysis and practical engagement.
- Principles of Pedagogy
o Nurturing research and inquiry skills in students through ‘research-based teaching’ and by facilitating research discussions between students and tutors.
o Excellent level of student/alumni/employer’s engagement in curriculum appraisal and development using online platforms, reunion meetings, alumniled seminars, guest lectures and studio-jury involvement. Active involvement with the Chamber of City Planners ensuring the programme remains practicerelevant.
o Encouragement of active and independent learning in students by motivating them to find topics of their own interests and carry out independent research, whilst enabling group and peer learning through team-based studio work
Human dignity: Is there a place for it in planning?
Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2020): Planning for Dignity; page 7-21Although human dignity has caught the attention of scholars in many different fields, planners remain unresponsive. Three reasons may be given for planners’ neglect of human dignity: (1) so far, nobody has inspired planners to cherish human dignity as a planning value or goal; (2) planners respect and protect human dignity, but do not use the term; (3) planners distrust values that are not too complex for laypersons. Two cases illustrate the possible consequences of ‘planning for dignity’ – the case of the knitting ladies of Blikkiesdorp (Cape Town), and the poor door controversy of 2014. The most important conclusions are that planners, in order to align their plans with human dignity (or ubuntu), must co-produce their selves within local communities affected by their plans. Moreover, planners must recognize the tension that exists between social justice and human dignity: A plan that is socially just can still be humiliating
Does territory really matters and, if so, how?
Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2020): The Legacy of the European Spatial Development Perspective; page 111-121The ambitions of the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) in relation to the development of European Union space seem to have been dissolved in the notion of territory which has become a key word in EU Cohesion Policy. The term ‘territory’ has been the subject of many debates, from attempts at definitions, to its rejection as a marker of a renunciation of the aspiration to reflect on, and adjust, development to spatial realities. Based on a constructivist definition of the concept of territory, this article argues that it is not possible to separate territory as a ‘container’ from the various realities of space in so far as the two dimensions are closely intertwined. Furthermore, it could be useful to consider these two dimensions in analysing EU space when reflecting on spatial planning at this scale
Urban space-making through protests : The transformation of Gezi park into a bricolage
Get PDFplaNext-Next Generation Planning Vol. 10 (2020) : Planning inclusive spaces: An inter- and transdisciplinary approach 58-79In the last decade, the world has seen a surge of protests and social movements. Also in Turkey, a group of protesters occupied the Gezi Park in 2013 against the government’s plans to transform it into a commercial complex. This paper explores the protests to advance knowledge on the relationship between urban space and protests. The paper argues that first; Gezi Park reflects variegated ‘rights of, in and to the city’ created through ‘commoning’. Second, the Park becomes a ‘socio-spatial-virtual bricolage,’ which contains past and present, traditional and contemporary and global and local subjects, elements and activities and different realms such as the physical and the virtual. Finally, the paper argues that the Park reflects a new political urban space and subjectivity
