    Book of abstracts : XIV Congress AESOP Planning at a Turning Point, Brno, Czech Republic July 18 - 23, 2000
    (AESOP, 2000) Schmeidler, Karel
    Dear Colleagues and Friends, Our dream has become reality - Brno is the venue for the congress of AESOP, an educational and scientific organisation with a growing importance in the European and global context. Eleven years ago such an idea would have been mere fantasy. I am extremely glad that we have been chosen to hold the AESOP congress, and that you have come to the event and have the opportunity of seeing Southern Moravia, its industrial and educational centre ... In many regards we will have to say goodbye to outdated methods, and to take on a comprehensive approach to the issues. Associated with this is the scope of vision and competence, the given comprehensiveness of study and the development of the personality of the student at technical universities. A considerable role here is to be played by the humanities and social sciences, if only because a multi-disciplinary approach is imperative to the resolution of complex problems at the end of the 20h century and beginning of the 21" century. We have arranged your stay in Brno and the congress programme with great enthusiasm and the help of the preparatory committee and the organisation TA-SERVICE Brno. I would finally like to thank you once again for coming to Brno, and to wish you all the greatest of success. Brno, Monday 19 June 2000 Doc. Ing. arch. PhDr. Karel Schmeidler, CSc. Chairman of the AESOP Brno 2000 Organisational Committee

    The XIV AESOP Congress in Brno, 19.-22. July 2000
    (Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia, 2000) Schmeidler, Karel
    The XIV European Congress of the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP)2 was ceremonially opened on Wed- nesday 19 July 2000 in the Ro- tunda of Pavilion A at Brno Exhi- bition Centre. The motto of this year«s congress was »Planning at a Turning Point«. The most im- portant event in AESOP«s pro- gramme is its annual congress, where a broad spectrum of work from individual schools is put for- ward. It also features presenta- tion of scientific research work and educational work, and dis- cussion of individual topics rela- ting to, for example, town and land planning, issues in the so- ciology of towns and cities, settle- ment geography, regional issues, the economy of towns and cities, and the legal issues involved in planning. The congress is usually accompanied by local excursions, business negotiations and mee- tings of interest groups. Congres- ses are held in member countries, and focus on particular issues depending on the specific condi- tions of the time. It is always or- ganised by a university with a good name in a specialist field. Each year those attending the congress take an interest in local town planning issues and draw up local studies.
