| dc.description.abstract | At the AESOP Head of Schools Meeting 2025, Janice Papathanasiou (Research Associate, National Technical University of Athens) presented the results of the InPlanEd project—an Erasmus+ initiative aiming to design and implement an integrated planning course at the master’s level. The course was collaboratively developed by a consortium of European partners, including AESOP, the University of Cyprus, Commonspace, and NUMENA, and piloted across two countries: Cyprus and the United Arab Emirates. The project addressed the need to embed four core pillars into planning education: urban planning, mobility planning, participatory planning, and evidence-based planning. Through extensive needs assessment, curriculum analysis, and skill gap identification—especially in soft skills—the team developed a comprehensive pedagogical framework for inclusive, people-centered, and climate-resilient planning. Deliverables included a fully open online learning platform with multilingual resources, definition kits, lecture summaries, data sources, and case studies. The course emphasized collaborative learning, fieldwork, and digital accessibility. It also engaged students, practitioners, and educators in a shared learning experience that bridged academia and real-world urban challenges. Papathanasiou emphasized the broader educational and scientific impact of the initiative, particularly in promoting integrated, transdisciplinary approaches to address pressing global issues such as climate change, spatial injustice, and the transformation of planning practice. The project also laid the groundwork for a lasting network of educators and institutions committed to advancing integrated planning across Europe and beyond. | |
