Item Open Access Roundtable Inclusive and Cohesive Urban Development in European Cities European Reflections and Learnings for a Post-War Urban Planning Friday, October 18, 2024(AESOP, 2024) Yehorchenkova, Nataliia; Yehorchenkov, Oleksii; Purkarthofer, Eva; Humer, Alois; Finka, Maros; Jamečný, LíubomírColleagues at Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, together with the AESOP Thematic Group on Transboundary Planning and Governance invited the AESOP community to an indeed remarkable one day Roundtable to collect European experiences and inspiration for a post-war urban planning in Ukraine. This day of Roundtable continued the engagement of the AESOP Thematic Group in voicing the various implications for Urban and Regional Planning in the face of the war in Ukraine. At earlier occasions organized by the TG, concerns of European macroregional and cross border cooperation were discussed in more detail (f.e. at the AESOP Annual Congress in Lodz 2022). At the Bratislava event, emphasis was put on listening to challenges and threats of urban and regional planning in Ukraine and to discussing learnings and options for a post-war era. The event was transdisciplinary and the list of speakers stretched from Ukrainian politicians and stakeholders to national and international researchers in the field. As a result, contributions were diverse and painted a varied picture of post-war planning. Some explicitly highlighted the situation in Ukrainian cities while others provided input and learning from post-war urban planning from other places and from historical experiences. The setting of the event helped to connect the practitioners’ and the researchers’ inputs by being a fully hybrid event, taking place at the premises of Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava and being livestreamed via zoom to the online community of AESOP and particularly Ukraine. A total of approx. 60 participants joined the event, half of them onsite and half of them online.
