“Planning’s future – Future’s planning:

Planning in an Era of Global (Un)Certainty and Transformation”

The 2011 Congress aimed to cope with a series of “mega-wicked problems” in the form of rapid urbanization, climate change, population growth and demographic structuring, natural disasters, and global economic, considering the (re)turn to urban and regional planning/planners for explanations and (re)solutions as a result of it. It aimed to critically reflect on where planning education and practice came from, where they were then, and where they were heading over the following 10-20 years.
