    AESOP Thematic Groups: Planning/Conflict
    (Taylor & Francis, 2015) Gualini, Enrico
    This article presents the AESOP Thematic Group on Planning/Conflict, established in 2013 to explore the role of planning in framing, transforming, and engaging with urban conflicts. The group offers a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue on how planning practices both generate and respond to conflicts within urban development. It organizes international conferences and special sessions at academic events and has contributed to multiple edited volumes and scholarly outputs. The article critically reflects on the conceptual and practical intersections between planning and conflict, arguing for a post-disciplinary and interpretive approach to understand urban contention, the dynamics of power, and the political dimensions embedded in planning processes.

    AESOP Thematic Groups: Resilience and Risk Mitigation Strategies
    (Taylor & Francis, 2015) Sliuzas, Richard
    This article introduces the AESOP Thematic Group “Resilience and Risk Mitigation Strategies” (RRMS), established around the 2007 AESOP Annual Conference in Naples. The group connects spatial planning expertise with risk governance, addressing natural, technological, and hybrid risks. It explores how planning can reduce vulnerabilities and hazard exposure, integrate disaster risk reduction into policy, and enhance resilience through proactive governance. The article outlines key developments in theory, practice, and education, referencing major international frameworks (e.g., UNISDR, Sendai, Habitat III) and activities such as roundtables, workshops, and conference sessions. RRMS emphasizes planning’s interdisciplinary potential and capacity-building roles in risk-aware urban development.

    This article provides a brief institutional overview of the AESOP Thematic Groups (TGs), which function as platforms for scholarly collaboration and focused discussion on key planning topics. The Secretary General outlines the support mechanisms offered by AESOP, including branding rights, financial assistance, communication infrastructure, and quality oversight. Thematic Groups are encouraged to organize events, contribute to Congress programs, and deliver annual reports. A list of currently active TGs is provided, with themes ranging from complexity in planning and sustainable food systems to urban culture, ethics, and transport policy. Future AESOP News Sections are expected to present deeper insights into the activities of individual TGs.

    Report of communication and meeting with Thematic Group Coordinators during the joint ACSP-AESOP Congress in Dublin
    (AESOP, 2013-07-15)
    An e-mail correspondence was held with Thematic Group Coordinators in late June - early July with a view to improve communication and information flow within and between Thematic Groups. 12 out of 14 Thematic Groups answered, while no replies could be received from two of the Thematic Groups, Urban Design in Planning and Monitoring of the European Landscape Convention. It should be noted that it is still possible for these groups to send their answers and comments, which could then be incorporated into this report. Two other Thematic Groups, New Technologies & Planning and French and British Planning Studies replied but their coordinators were not able to send answers to the questions due to various reasons. It is also possible for these groups to send their answers/comments or respond to the information compiled in this report. 1. Information received from Thematic Group Coordinators via e-mail correspondence 2. Comments and suggestions from Thematic Group Coordinators 3. The outcomes of the Thematic Group Coordinators meeting held in Dublin, 15.07.2013
