    AESOP Generating Discussion on New Models of Territorial Governance in Europe: Report on Professor Danuta Hübner’s AESOP–IFHP Lecture
    (Taylor & Francis, 2013) Mironowicz, Izabela
    This report summarizes the third lecture in the AESOP–IFHP Lecture Series, delivered by Professor Danuta Hübner in Brussels on 5 October 2012. The lecture, titled “Space and Place as Integrating Factors in Policy-Making,” focused on the evolution of territorial cohesion in EU policy. Professor Hübner argued that effective governance in Europe increasingly requires territorial sensitivity, integrated approaches, and multilevel cooperation. She discussed the need to strengthen functional areas, enhance the role of cities, and align regional development strategies across administrative and sectoral boundaries. The report emphasizes that territorial cohesion is not yet formally defined, but widely understood as a shared European objective. New tools such as Integrated Territorial Investments (ITIs) and Community-led Local Development (CLLD) were highlighted as pathways toward more inclusive and efficient governance. The article reflects on the broader shift in EU governance from rigid structures toward flexible, place-based strategies that involve local actors in designing and implementing territorial policy.

    (Taylor and Francis, 2012) Mironowicz, Izabela
    This article documents the celebration of AESOP’s 25th anniversary held at Schloss Cappenberg, the birthplace of the association. The event brought together former and current AESOP Presidents and Secretaries General, as well as representatives of major European planning organizations. The main highlight of the gathering was the launch of the AESOP–IFHP Lecture Series, a joint initiative within the broader “Decade of Planning” framework. The article includes reflections on planning education by Klaus R. Kunzmann, who identified key challenges and scenarios for the future of planning in Europe. The event reaffirmed AESOP's commitment to collaborative, transnational planning education and professional dialogue.
