European spatial planning beyond sovereignty
Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2020): The Legacy of the European Spatial Development Perspective; page 99-110By definition sovereign, States find themselves inescapably in a situation of permanent competition. Moreover, given that an inherent quality of sovereignty is to exclude obeying whomever else, nobody, neither individuals nor institutions can arbitrate between them. This being the case, in the international arena power becomes the one and only currency. It seems basic even to each State’s survival: in this endless competition, the sustainability of each depends on the capacity to maintain a sufficient level of power.

What is ... needed is reflecting on new ways of adapting politics and democracy to the unique and universal world of networks...
(Balligand and Maquart, 1990, p.219 translated by the author)
The above quotes relate to the ambivalence of its members towards the European Union construct. Wishing to remain sovereign, they simultaneously acknowledge that they have to adapt to a new world. So, they conclude treaties which give the Union specific powers. Unable to unilaterally give itself powers, or ‘competences’ in EU jargon, their Union is therefore ‘intergovernmental’. If it were able to assume powers on its own, it would be like a federal state. As such, the Union could exercise some degree of ‘territoriality’, or control over its borders. As it is, it cannot
Post-traumatic spatial self-organization of mobile populations
Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2020): Planning for Dignity; page 33-45Since 2012, and particularly since 2014, instability and wars in North African countries and the Middle East have brought a wave of refugees, trying to flee from violence in their countries, to Europe. They usually go north, crossing the Mediterranean towards Italy, or the Aegean, going west to the Greek islands. In their quest for a safe refuge, a significant number drown or disappear. The rest reach in Europe carrying their traumatic experiences with them, and face immediate humanitarian needs. A major task for host cities is to provide shelter for the refugees, taking into consideration the influence of their psychological trauma on local societies. This complex task, which combines technical, economic, social, psychological, and political dimensions – simultaneously targeted on two social groups – constitutes the ‘post-traumatic urbanism’ which intervenes in the recreating of the refugees’ spatial and social networks in the host city. This paper discusses how the complex issue of post-traumatic housing triggers spatial self-organization by the refugees, in contrast to the ‘official’ provisions from host states, through the lens of complex adaptive theory (resilience). This article examines the features of refugee housing in Athens and Thessaloniki through qualitative research, quantitative methods and participatory observation. Through this study, it is highlighted that the post-trauma self-organization of mobile populations is a process of gaining dignity and self-respect in a new and often hostile environment, and a tool for spatial and social resilience

https://ror.org/0547yzj13The Master Programme in Urban Conservation and Planning delivered at the Yildiz Technical University is recognised as a study programme focused on the historic preservation, yet with a distinctive consideration of both management and implementation-oriented approach in addressing the topic of conservation planning. It brings together the following aspects of quality in planning education:
Programme Curriculum and Identity
• A pragmatic approach, i.e. the focus on implementation measures in a specific context, and not solely on the general principles of conservation.
• Acknowledgment of professional ethics through different topics relevant to urban conservation (e.g. disinvestment/decay, pressures of gentrification,
• displacement, large scale urban projects, including infrastructure investments, tourism development and dilemmas of keeping the authentic character) in relation to specified conceptual themes (e.g. sustainability, rights-based approaches in urban conservation, reduction of poverty, resilience).
• A well-interlinked and content-coordinated system of subjects aimed at enabling a balance between planning issues and specific topics of urban
• conservation.
Principles of Pedagogy
• Advanced models for providing the students with a broad research competence – from the basic skills for conducting fundamental research to those inherent in applied research and the dissemination of research results.
• Best practice examples of student/alumni/employer’s engagement by enabling its members to develop stronger relations with the university’s community, find mentorship and gain access to new professional networks.
• Stimulation of the studio project as a tool for practical reasoning and practical judgement. Strengthening active and independent learning through an array of diverse student tasks (essays, seminars, studio work, thesis)
Larry Susskind - Action-Reflection-Adaptation-Public Learning: Excerpts from the Life of a Pracademic
No full textLarry Susskind is Ford Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research interests focus on the theory and practice of mult party negotiation and public dispute resolution, the practice of public engagement in local decision-making, global environmental treaty-making, and the resolution of science-intensive policy disputes, particularly those related to climate change adaptation. He is an experienced mediator, having helped to settle more than 50 resource management and development disputes in many parts of the world, mostly through the Consensus Building Institute, which he founded in 1991.
Larry is the author or co-author of more than twenty books including, most recently, Environmental Problem-Solving (Anthem), Managing Climate Risks in Coastal Communities: Strategies for Engagement, Readiness, and Adaptation (Anthem), the second edition of Environmental Diplomacy (Oxford Press), and Good for You, Great for Me (Public Affairs Press).He is one of the co-founders of the inter-university Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School, where he now directs the MIT-Harvard Public Negotiations Program, serves as Vice-Chair for Instruction, and co-directs the Negotiation Pedagogy Initiative.
This booklet is based on the author’s frequent interactions with Larry over several years at MIT. During his doctoral studies, the author has had multiple opportunities to work with Larry that not only inspired the author’s research but also exposed him to some of Larry’s important scholarly contributions to the planning field. Conversations in the booklet are grouped under five broad public policy questions to which Larry has made important contributions

Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2020): The Legacy of the European Spatial Development PerspectiveThis issue of Transactions of AESOP brings together a series of papers which reflect on the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) document which was adopted by the then member states of the European Union (EU) in Potsdam, Germany in 1999, and is published shortly after the adoption in December 2020 of a new EU Territorial Agenda 2030 document under the recent German EU Presidency. It features an introduction and five original papers which explore the legacies of the ESDP and the present and future prospects for European territorial development and urban policy

Editorial Vol. 10 (2020) : Planning inclusive spaces–in a new light
Get PDFplaNext-Next Generation Planning Vol. 10 (2020) : Planning inclusive spaces: An inter- and transdisciplinary approach 5-9It is deeply satisfying to know that Volume 10 of AESOP Young Academics’ peer-reviewed journal plaNext – Next Generation Planning is now available to you. This volume stems from the 13th Young Academics conference which took place from the 2nd to the 5th of April 2019 in Darmstadt and was hosted by the Graduate School of Urban Studies (URBANgrad) at the Faculty of Architecture of Technical University of Darmstadt. The conference was held under the title “Planning inclusive spaces: An inter- and transdisciplinary approach” and provided 50 young planning researchers with a platform for exchange for the following themes: “'Public space' and the dilemma of inclusion,” “Health promoting urban planning and design,” “Citizenship and governance in the production of space,” and “From sustainable to resilient urban strategies.”
This volume comprises three top-quality papers which were presented at the conference. These are highly valuable contributions, as they approach complex matters of “planning inclusive spaces” from a variety of aspects, make critical observations, and reframe and reflect on topical debates in academia and planning practice. By presenting these papers, we believe this volume provides an insight into advancing our collective knowledge through the debates on inclusivity. We learn our lessons from policies and practices that are “good” but also from those that are “not so good”. The volume, therefore, shares these perspectives and viewpoints with relevance to the conference theme, and it does so by trying to identify what is really needed to adequately address spatial challenges and to facilitate a sustainable transition towards (more) inclusive spaces through inter- and transdisciplinarity

Public space, civic dignity and urban resistance in the age of shrinking democracy
Get PDFTransactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2020): Planning for Dignity; page 46-58Neoliberal urban restructuring constitutes an underlying challenge facing cities and communities around the world. Public space, as a medium of political engagement and social interactions, may represent a vehicle for resistance against patterns of shrinking democracy. In its capacity as a place for active democracy, public spaces – the lived spaces of contemporary societies – deserve greater care, attention, and critical reflection. As movements evolve to confront new challenges, explore new opportunities, negotiate with new actors and circumstances, and utilise new technologies and platforms, our understanding of the agency of democracy – supported through an understanding of civic dignity – must also advance. This paper aims at examining the role of public space in reclaiming and reinstating democracy. By drawing on empirical findings from cities worldwide, explored through the lens of multiple disciplines, it argues that the study of urban protest might show directions for a new, dignified politics of public space. It asks how this study may enable planners and designers to contribute to the spatial emergence of human and civic dignity
