Abstract
This report presents highlights from a special session held during the AESOP Silver Jubilee Congress in Ankara (14 July 2012), where past AESOP Presidents and founding members shared reflections on the future of planning and AESOP. Eleven presidents and honorary member Andreas Faludi offered diverse perspectives on the evolving role of planning amid globalization, climate change, economic crises, and technological transformation. Contributions emphasized the need for planning to be socially just, adaptive, participatory, and interdisciplinary. They called for planning education to prepare students to think critically, act ethically, and engage meaningfully in shaping future urban and regional environments. The session underscored AESOP’s role as a platform for dialogue and innovation, and concluded with a ceremonial handover to the new President, Gert de Roo.
