1. Planning Education in Europe: Challenges and Pathways into the Future
(AESOP, 2012) Kunzmann, Klaus R.
The lecture identified the challenges, planning schools are facing in the times of globalisation, market led and territorial development and information overload, and explored pathways into the future of planning education in Europe. Professor Klaus R. Kunzmann graduated from the School of Architecture of the Technische Universität München in 1967 and received a PhD from the Technische Universität Wien in 1971. Appointed as Professor by the School of Planning of the Universität Dortmund in 1974, he was Director of Research of the Institut für Raumplanung until 1993. From then onwards, and until his retirement in 2006, he held the personal Jean Monnet Chair of Spatial Planning in Europe. Klaus R. Kunzmann is a Honorary professor of Chung Hua University, in Hsinchu, Taiwan, a Honorary member of the RPTI, received a Honorary PhD from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1994, and taught as visiting professor at a number of universities in Europe, the US and in China. From 1987 to 1990 he was the first president of AESOP. Based on four decades of explorations into the field of spatial development of cites and regions, he is now living in Potsdam/Berlin, exploring the implications of China’s economic growth on urban regional development in Europe, and relentlessly writing on territorial planning in Europe, regional restructuring in the Ruhr, and on creative and knowledge city development.

2. Twentieth Century Foundations of European Planning
(AESOP, 2012) Faludi, Andreas
In any European territorial policy, the city will play a central role. The interconnectivity of cities is after all a major dimension of territorial cohesion. The European Commission has recently brought out a report ‘Cities of Tomorrow’ which looks at the importance of cities for the territorial, economic, social and environmental future of our continent. To complement Prof. Faludi's lecture, a joint workshop was organized with the participation of representatives of the European Commission's DG for Regional Policy and other invited experts to initiate a dialogue on the issues raised in this report. It dealt with the following three questions: What is the European model of the city? What instruments are available to ensure a more sustainable development for European cities? What is the perspective for possible policy orientations in the new phase of EU research and structural policies 2014-2020? What should EU urban policy focus on; what should it avoid?

Planning Ghosts and Adaptive Planners
(Taylor & Francis, 2013) Mironowicz, Izabela
This article summarizes the closing lecture of the AESOP–IFHP Lecture Series, delivered by Cliff Hague in Riga on 13 December 2013. Using a creative reinterpretation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Hague explored the “Ghosts of Planning Past, Present and Future” to reflect on the evolution and future direction of urban planning. The article recaps his presentation and the discussion that followed, emphasizing three main themes: the enduring relevance of planning education; the evolving role of architecture in sustainable redevelopment; and the shifting role of the planner from a top-down administrator to a facilitator of participatory planning processes. The lecture encouraged planners to embrace adaptability, foster citizen involvement, and respond to the socio-economic transformations shaping urban environments. The report also provides insights into AESOP's upcoming initiatives, including the continued Lecture Series (with EURA as a new partner), the 2014 Congress, and enhanced cooperation with disP journal to reflect AESOP Thematic Groups’ debates.

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.

Every lecture starts from a personal perspective to tell a much broader story about the Evolution of Planning Thought. The subsequent podium discussion provides a unique space to reflect on where we are as planners, how we have got there and where we are going as a community into the future. Each lecture concludes with a social gathering, allowing less formal discussions with highly respected planners of the first generation.

16. Rethinking Planning in a More-than-human World
(AESOP, 2019) Hillier, Jean
Spatial planning is not external to the eco-social realities which co-produce the Anthropocene. I am concerned with spatial planning, its multispecies entanglements and the production of novel ecosystems, including those of damaged landscapes. Many planning systems reinforce hyper-separated categories of ‘nature’ and ‘culture’, reflected in the separation between landuse planning and environmental conservation planning. The ‘unreflected imposition of human primacy upon the desires and habits of other beings’ (Metzger, 2014: 210) and resulting asymmetric ‘negotiations’ between human planners and nonhuman others, have contributed to often-catastrophic changes across the globe. I argue that planning academics and practitioners should think carefully and critically about who speaks for (and with) the nonhuman in place making. I introduce the concept of ‘more-than-human’, as developed in geography and the environmental humanities, to explore new possibilities for productively rethinking the ontological exceptionalism of humans in planning theory and practice. I argue the need to develop inclusive, ethical relationships that can nurture possibilities for multispecies flourishing in diverse urban futures: a co-adaptive, more-than-human multispecies entanglement.
