Abstract
This article introduces the AESOP Thematic Group “Resilience and Risk Mitigation Strategies” (RRMS), established around the 2007 AESOP Annual Conference in Naples. The group connects spatial planning expertise with risk governance, addressing natural, technological, and hybrid risks. It explores how planning can reduce vulnerabilities and hazard exposure, integrate disaster risk reduction into policy, and enhance resilience through proactive governance. The article outlines key developments in theory, practice, and education, referencing major international frameworks (e.g., UNISDR, Sendai, Habitat III) and activities such as roundtables, workshops, and conference sessions. RRMS emphasizes planning’s interdisciplinary potential and capacity-building roles in risk-aware urban development.
