Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the AESOP Thematic Group on New Technologies and Planning (NTP TG). It outlines the group's dual focus on the impacts of digital technologies in planning theory and practice, as well as the transformation of cities. Key topics include spatial and a-spatial analysis, the role of ICT in planning processes, planning support systems, geovisualization, and the evolution of planning education. The article also traces the development of the group’s agenda, its participation in AESOP congresses (2007–2015), and proposes future actions including small events, surveys, and international collaborations. Emphasis is placed on fostering a vibrant research community to address smart territories, public participation, and digitalization in planning.
