Welcome to the next PLANNORD symposium, this time taking place in Aalborg, Denmark. PLANNORD is a platform for networking and exchange of knowledge between researchers and practitioners concerning spatial planning in the Nordic context. Read more about Nordic Planning here.
PURPOSE OF THE SYMPOSIUM
The purpose of the symposium is to provide opportunities to discuss sustainable spatial development and planning activities across relevant levels, actors, and disciplines. We have called for abstracts that relate to the following themes:
- Theme 1: Sustainable Futures - SDGs, degrowth and ‘green shifts’
- Theme 2: Planning during and post-Covid-19
- Theme 3: Social and urban justice – rights, segregation, gentrification, and housing
- Theme 4: Planning theory in a Nordic perspective
- Theme 5: Governance, participation, and the role of the planner
- Theme 6: Conflicts and collaborations in planning
- Theme 7: Perspectives of regulatory planning – challenges and opportunities
- Theme 8: Spatial data management – tools, methods and digitization of planning
Read a full description of all themes here
We have welcomed individual abstracts and presentations, as well as ‘joint ventures’ where a group of people suggest a session with several abstracts and presentations. Also, it has been possible to suggest ideas for sessions that cut across themes or add supplementary perspectives, such as planning education and competencies.
