Abstract
The Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP) was founded in 1987 by a renowned group of academics from European Universities: Patsy Healey (Newcastle, UK), Klaus R. Kunzmann (Dortmund, Germany), David Massey (Liverpool, UK), Dieter Frick (Berlin, Germany), Giorgio Piccinato (Venice, Italy), Dieter Bökemann (Vienna, Austria), Willy Schmid (Zürich, Switzerland), Andreas Faludi (Amsterdam, the Netherlands), Jean-Claude Hauvuy (Paris, France) and Luigi Mazza (Turin, Italy). The formal charter establishing AESOP was signed in Dortmund, Germany, in 1987 and had the following objectives & to represent the interest of planning schools in Europe in national and international administrations and organisations, particularly within Europe & to promote the development of teaching and research in the field of planning & to facilitate co-operation and exchange between planning schools in Europe, and to encourage the harmonisation and equivalence of their degrees & to articulate a European dimension within planning education as part of the process of institutional co-operation and integration within Europe, bearing in mind also the prospect of increasing professional mobility within Europe & to foster and enrich higher education in planning across Europe by mutual support, including facilitating dialogue, exchange visits and the spread of information & to defend the cause of expanding and enhancing higher education in planning & to promote a progressive approach to planning education in schools of planning by experts with a rounded view against rival claims from older-established academic units and from other disciplines and professions.
