Call for papers – 11th meeting AESOP’s thematic group on Complexity & Planning
2-3 May 2013, Aveiro, Portugal
The spatial development of for example neighborhoods, cities and urban regions is increasingly understood as a dynamic process progressing in a non-linear way. These areas can been seen as dynamic spatial systems that continuously transform due to internal drivers (e.g. local innovations, initiatives and collaborations) and external drivers (e.g. technological, demographic and economic trends). Complexity scholars argue self-organization plays a crucial role in these transformations.
Self-organization is a process that gives rise to new structures, patterns and organizations emerging from the interaction between elements or actors while external coordination is absent. It is understood as a collective process through which a system tries to reach the best possible ‘fit’ with its environment. Considering self-organization to be an important driver behind spatial change, planners are challenged to gain more insights in why self-organization in the context of planning systems emerges, how these processes evolve, and what the implications are for planners and policy makers.
This call is a follow-up on the 9th meeting of AESOP’s thematic group on Complexity & Planning on the theme ‘self-organization and spatial planning’. This event was held in April 2011 in Istanbul. Continuing our discussion during the upcoming event, particular attention is asked for:

Hosting department
The University of Aveiro (http://www.ua.pt/ensino/Default.aspx), created in 1973, is part of a generation of public universities conceived to decentralize university teaching in Portugal.
Its Department of Social, Political and Territorial Sciences (DCSPT) will host the event. The DCSPT offers a diversity of courses, including a graduation on Public Administration, and master programs on Regional and Urban Planning (http://www.ua.pt/ensino/PageCourse.aspx?id=103 ), Public Management and Administration and Political Science. A PhD program on Public Policies is under preparation.
The master of Regional and Urban Planning’s teaching staff is composed by a multidisciplinary group, most of them members of the Research Unit GOVCOPP – Governance, Competitiveness and Public Policies, rated with “excellent” by FCT (the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology).
Being the first Portuguese university offering a graduation on Regional and Urban Planning in 1983, the UA is a founding member of AESOP. In 1998 hosted the XII AESOP Conference and is currently one of the Portuguese schools with a seat at AESOP’s Council of Representatives. The 11th meeting of AESOP’s thematic group on Complexity & Planning will coincide with the year of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Regional and Urban Planning teaching in Aveiro.
