AESOP NEWS SPECIAL EDITION : AESOP Prize Papers in Planning Presented at the Bergen Congress, July 1999
No full textThis publication brings together the Prize Paper and three Highly Commended Papers selected within the framework of the AESOP Prize for the Best Planning Paper published in Europe. The Prize was established to celebrate excellence in planning scholarship, to promote awareness of high-quality academic work across Europe, and to support the integration of diverse intellectual and planning traditions.
The volume includes four papers published in leading European planning journals, covering key thematic areas of the discipline: planning history, urban design and design control, policy implementation, and conceptual debates on society, space and environment. Together, the papers reflect the breadth of planning research in Europe during the late 1990s and illustrate different methodological and theoretical approaches within the field.
In addition to presenting the selected papers, the publication documents the AESOP Prize nomination and assessment process, outlining the role of journal editors, AESOP Council members, and the Nominating Committee. As such, the booklet serves both as a record of academic recognition and as a historical document illustrating how planning research excellence was identified and evaluated within the European planning community.publishedVersio
The Fables of Aesop
No full textAfter a T of C, this book alternates verse texts of Aesop's fables on the left with strong full-page woodcuts on the right. This is more of Ryrie's lovely work that I enjoyed so much in his 2004 "Aesop -- Life and Fables." For me, his work may be at its best when his strong lines portray a jumbled and even chaotic visual field, as in "The forest deceived" (7-8). This effect extends, I believe, to illustrations where the viewer may not at fist sense the distinction of one object from others, like the boat in the water in "Enemies till death" (13-14) or the dog's reflection in the water in "The dog's reflection" (25-26). What strong lines he creates! These help to suggest the emotion in "The miser" (9-10). What a lovely booklet!96 of 500Aesop; John Ryri

Select Fables from Aesop and Others
No full textEleven years ago I found a fragile copy of this book. It had lost its frontispiece and had numbers written in heavy black ink on both covers. Now I have found this second copy of the book, which is likewise fragile but has its frontispiece intact. Because of the fragility of both copies, I will keep them both in the collection. As I wrote then, this is a small book (4" x 6") in poor condition. Green cloth covers. The spine has a gold title, a tall figure of Aesop the teacher and a student (?), and "One Hundred Illustrations." The front cover has a floral cornucopia. The spine is crumbling. The early "Contents" is really an AI. The engravings after Bewick are about 2½" x 1½" with the same wavy-line border around each. Each text is followed by a short "Reflection." A cursory check suggests that the texts are not from Croxall. Though this book is published only in NY, the fisherman on 7 is fishing "on the banks of the Thames." Should not "Engravings from Bewick" read "Engravings after Bewick"?Illustrated with One Hundred Engravings from Bewic
AESOP 2025 Congress Istanbul | Closing Day
No full textThis video documents the Closing Day of the AESOP 2025 Annual Congress, held at Yıldız Technical University in Istanbul. The session reflects on the outcomes of the week-long discussions under the congress theme Planning as a Transformative Action in an Age of Planetary Crisis. Closing remarks summarise key insights from plenary sessions, highlight contributions from thematic tracks, and acknowledge the collaborative work of organisers, speakers, and participants. The day concludes with reflections on the future of planning scholarship and the role of AESOP in fostering dialogue and cooperation within the international planning community
AESOP Core curriculum (version 2024)
Full text linkThe Core Curriculum plays two crucial, interrelated roles for AESOP: It identifies knowledge, competencies and values deemed vital for spatial planners at the start of the 21st century; and it serves as a ‘benchmark’ for the evaluation of applications and admission of new member schools and their education programmes. This dual role poses conditions on the contents of the Core Curriculum. Because of different national situations, the diversity of planning schools applying for membership to AESOP is such that it is neither possible nor desirable to formalise the core curriculum in too much detail. Planning practice differs depending on national, regional, and local contexts. The diversity in approaches to planning that this implies should be considered an asset rather than a weakness of the planning discipline in Europe. Mutual learning, with respectful and responsible knowledge transfer and emulation of didactical practices is, however, highly desirable. Such mutual learning is further encouraged by the quality recognition programme of AESOP’s Excellence in Education Board.publishedVersio
November 6th, 2024; 17:30 – G11 Alan Walters Bldg, University of Birmingham
Full text linkThe lecture briefly recounted important historical links between public health and planning legislation and the weakening of this close association in the post WWII ‘antibiotic’ era. With now more than half of the world’s population living in urbanized settings, there is a strong case to be made to pay closer attention to urban form and conditions such as noise, green space or walkability as these impact risk levels of both chronic and infectious diseases. Professor Webster made a strong case for the disciplines of health and planning to be ‘remarried’ based on an impressive range of research case studies providing evidence that building shapes and urban morphology can significantly impact health outcomes such as obesity or respiratory illnesses alongside other lifestyle factors (e.g. smoking).
The second session of the 2024 AESOP Lecture Series took place at the University of Birmingham UK.

A Hundred Fables: Aesop (Cover: Aesop's Fables Coloring Book)
No full textHere is curious 8½" x 11" print-upon-demand paperback book that gives two pages -- one for text and one for illustration -- to 100 fables from Aesop. Outside of the covers, the book is entirely black-and-white. It hurries to begin, with only a page to acknowledge the publisher and a page to declare a title -- one of three -- and a word of explanation about Aesop and Percy Billinghurst. Similarly, at the end there are only two pages of advertisements. I miss rudiments like a T of C or AI. The three titles are "Aesops Fables Coloring Book" (front cover); "A Hundred Fables Aesop" (inside); and Aesops Fables with Illustrations by Percy J. Billinghurst: 100 Fables and Illustrations" (back cover). The texts are taken without acknowledgement from George Fyler Townsend (1867).No Autho
XXI AESOP Conference: Planning for the Risk Society. Dealing with Uncertainty. Challenging the Future - Programme
Full text linkThe XXI AESOP Conference 2007: Programme documents the structure, scope, and academic organisation of the twenty-first annual congress of the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP), held in Naples, Italy, in 2007. The programme provides a comprehensive overview of the congress agenda, including plenary sessions, keynote lectures, parallel thematic tracks, round tables, meetings of AESOP bodies, and social and networking events.
The document reflects the breadth of contemporary debates in European spatial and urban planning at the time, bringing together scholars, educators, and practitioners from across Europe and beyond. Through its detailed scheduling and thematic organisation, the programme illustrates the role of the AESOP Annual Congress as a key platform for academic exchange, methodological discussion, and institutional development within the planning discipline.
As an archival source, the programme is valuable for reconstructing the intellectual landscape of planning research and education in the mid-2000s, as well as for documenting the evolution of AESOP’s conference formats, thematic priorities, and community practices. It serves both as a historical record of the Naples congress and as contextual material complementing related outputs such as books of abstracts, conference papers, presentations, and reports preserved in the AESOP Digital Archive.publishedVersio
