Abstract
The Joint International Congress rep- resents the first cooperative venture between the North American ACSP and the European AESOP. As of 1990, 117 undergraduate and graduate programmes in urban planning and urban affairs were members of ACSP while there were over 70 full mem- bers. Recognizing that unprecedented changes have taken place over the past few years, the Congress enabled parti- cipants from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean to share ideas and information on a vast array of topics. More than 600 individuals from 23 countries in- cluding the USA, UK, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden. Au- stralia. France, Czechoslovakia and Israel attended the Congress. Individuals attending the Congress were afforded the opportunity to hear three interesting plenary sessions. Peter Hall, University of California, Berkeley (USA) spoke of an interna- tional agenda for planning in 'Plan- ning transatlantic: the agenda for the 1990s'. Within his talk, Professor Hall commented on the restructuring of London, the impacts of growth, the regeneration of great provincial cities, transatlantic contrasts, the role of the state, and the role of planning educa- tion. Professor David Hall, Oxford University (UK) gave a very informa- tive talk on 'social justice, post- modernism and the city'. Marios Camhis, EC Regional Policy Directo- rate, concluded the Congress with a discussion of 'Europe 2000'.
