Abstract
The Association of European Schools of Planning – AESOP – is the largest academic
organisation on spatial planning in Europe, and its annual conferences are the most
important events throughout the year. ‘From control to co-evolution’ was the theme
of this year’s AESOP congress in Utrecht (Netherlands) from 9–12 July, 2014. It
was hosted as a joint project by the University of Utrecht, the Delft University of
Technology, and the University of Ghent under the supervision of Luuk Boelens,
Vincent Nadin and Thomas Hartmann. Almost 700 researchers across all planningrelated
areas from Europe and beyond gathered to present, listen and discuss within
seventeen parallel tracks, from ‘planning in stressful places’ to ‘ethics and justice in
planning’. Four related papers were presented in each session, followed by lively
discussions about ideas, approaches and even connections between them.
