Is the “Great Transformation” faltering before it has even begun? Political decision-makers are exposed to lobbying interests, misinformation and increasing political radicalisation. People who drive the transformation forward in their communities and regions and implement innovative projects are exposed to numerous constraints. Yet regions, cities and municipalities are crucial arenas for what is referred to as the “Great Transformation”. This great change can only succeed if many local and regional individual initiatives come together. We want to explore this question in keynote speeches by Andreas Novy (Uni Wien), Dirk Messner, and Anna Lisa Boni as well as workshops. We invite experts from academia, political leaders in local, state and federal governments, administrators, planners, members of initiatives, journalists and anyone else who is concerned with change to participate. Register for one of the most established exchange formats for practice and science in the field of spatial planning and spatial development!

IN MEMORY OF PROFESSOR BENJAMIN DAVY AESOP’s former president, Ben Davy, passed away peacefully at his home on January 24th, at the age of 68. He will be deeply missed and mourned by our community and the many academic circles he engaged with throughout his professional life. Until the very end, he remained active in academic debates and discussions, continuously planning ahead for publications and events. Ben began his academic career at TU Vienna, where he received his PhD in 1980 and held various positions up to Associate Professor. In 1998, he moved to TU Dortmund, where he became Professor of Land Policy, Land Management, and Municipal Geoinformation at the School of Spatial Planning, a position he held until his retirement in 2019. Even after retiring, he continued his academic journey, including serving as a Visiting Professor at the University of Johannesburg in the Department of Law. Ben’s involvement in AESOP was extensive and impactful. He served as Country Representative for Germany (2006–2014) and later as AESOP President (2018–2020), following his roles as Vice President (2017–2018) and Senior Vice President (2020–2021). Within AESOP, as well as in his broader academic engagements, he was a strong advocate for mentorship and supporting younger colleagues. He actively participated as a mentor at AESOP PhD workshops in Vienna (2005), Manchester (2009), Belfast (2013), Star Lesna (2015), Aveiro (2017), and Grenoble (2024), and was always highly supportive of the AESOP YA Network. For Ben, international collaboration was fundamental to the development of planning theory and practice. He championed this idea through his coordination of the AESOP Thematic Group on Planning Theories (Plural), which he co-led until his passing, alongside Franziska Sielker (TU Vienna) and Meike Levin-Keitel (TU Dortmund). At the same time, he played an active role in the development and consolidation of the AESOP Thematic Group on Planning Law and Property Rights, helping it evolve into an autonomous association. He was also deeply involved in the AESOP Thematic Group on Ethics, Values, and Planning. Beyond academia, Ben was a person who truly embraced life. He loved engaging in discussions and debates, always eager to challenge his own and others’ ideas. He was passionate about music and the arts, often illustrating his academic presentations with his own photographs of art pieces, urban landscapes, and nature. His professional achievements, warm personality, and charismatic presence left a lasting impression on the academic community. Our future events and congresses will certainly feel less lively without his energy and smile—and, of course, the sight of his colourful clothing as he walked toward the next session, deeply engaged in conversation. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. AESOP Executive Committee On behalf of President Maria Håkansson https://lnkd.in/dp_DscC8

#Dokorp25: Mit diesen 📸 blicken wir zurück auf den ersten Konferenztag der Dortmunder Konferenz Raum- und Planungsforschung! Auf dem Campus der Technische Universität Dortmund diskutieren über 350 Fachleute aus Wissenschaft und Praxis unter dem Oberthema „Grund zum Planen in Zeiten multipler Krisen". Nach der offiziellen Begrüßung blickte Prof. Dr. Dr. Ortwin Renn auf die „Herausforderung Polykrise“ und wie systemische Risiken gehandhabt werden können. Danach starteten die Teilnehmenden in die Sessions – z. B. zur Zukunft der Innenstädte, zu Klimaanpassung oder zur nachhaltigen Gewerbeflächenentwicklung. Morgen geht’s weiter! Die DOKORP wird von der Fakultät Raumplanung der Technischen Universität Dortmund gemeinsam mit der ARL - Akademie für Raumentwicklung in der Leibniz-Gemeinschaft und dem ILS veranstaltet.
