AESOP Young Academics Special Edition Call for Abstracts
(Routledge : Taylor and Francis Group, 2013) Driscoll, Patrick; Galland, Daniel
Urban planning has dramatically shifted when compared with its former logics and styles. Increasingly, the dynamics of large urban agglomerations spanning multiple boundaries put significant pressure on planning institutions to scale up. In this shifting context, how can both planning theory and practice coevolve in adapting to the ever-increasing transformation of cities and urban regions? In this context, Planning Practice and Research (PPR) is seeking perspectives from the young academic community in planning. We propose to publish at least one special edition of PPR with a number of short papers from Young Academics. The contributions should address the question of how planning theory and practice can respond to the increasing complexity of cities and regions. We are proposing shorter contributions so that we can include a wider range of perspectives. They may of course, point to longer explanations of research published elsewhere. Otherwise the papers will have to meet the normal expectations for publication in PPR. Young academics means researchers doing their PhD and up to 5 years after finishing their PhD and young practitioners with an academic interest.
