AESOP Young Academics Network is pleased to participate in a roundtable discussion on regional networks and global alliances in planning academia during WPSC 2026.
Young planning academics across regions have developed innovative forms of democratic self-organization in response to shared challenges including housing crises, climate change, and social inequality. This roundtable brings together young academics leading regional initiatives alongside senior scholars to discuss what enables meaningful participation, sustains engagement, and strengthens cross-regional collaboration.
The discussion aims to move beyond isolated efforts toward building a more connected and cosmopolitan community of inquiry within planning academia.
📍 Date: Thursday, 2 July 2026
🕚 Time: 11:00–12:30
