AIVP Prize Antoine Rufenacht technical document

Antoine Rufenacht, a highly respected French businessman and politician, was Mayor of the city of Le Havre from 1995 and 2010. He also was the founding chairman of the AIVP from 1988 to 2002.

He was first and foremost a Le Havre man, a devoted citizen of this French port city that suffered tremendous hardship during the Second World War.

He was quick to recognize the interlinkages between a city’s influence and the port’s appeal and saw that it is mutually beneficial to transcend the boundaries that separate the city and the port.

Everything he did was guided by his visionary approach to development, resulting as a series of interlaced steps forming a coherent and indissociable whole, which combines his understanding of globalization and the role of port cities in the world, his open-mindedness, and his ambitions for Le Havre.

His efforts radically transformed his city’s image and identity.

74th World Town Planning Day Statement

74th World Town Planning Day Statement

PLANNING ACTION FOR A JUST
TRANSITION TO A NET-ZERO
CLIMATE RESILIENT WORLD

Every person and community in the world
today is threatened by a deepening climate
and biodiversity emergency, compounded by
conflicts, the pressures of demographic and
other societal change, and the continuing
legacy of the pandemic.

The Global Planners Network (GPN)–the
largest gathering of national and international
planning associations–calls for urgent action
to stop any further irreversible degradation of
the natural world and adverse impacts on
communities globally before the window for
action closes.

Following our Katowice Declaration in June
2022, we re-assert that there can be no
sustainable development without
sustainable urbanisation and no
sustainable urbanisation without effective
planning. Effective planning, however,
requires political support, financial and
human resource investment, and authentic
community empowerment and engagement.

As planners, we call for nations and cities to
urgently deliver inclusive and ambitious
climate measures to strengthen resilience,
support a just transition to a net-zero
economy, and more quickly deliver on the
Paris Agreement. Plans must be based on
more sustainable transportation systems,
better air quality, greater protection of our
natural environments, less poverty, and
reduced consumption of resources, energy
and non-organic goods and foods.

For this to happen, we advocate for better
human and technical resources for
planning institutions and functions and for
stronger subnational governments to manage
land development so that local and national
plans can be swiftly aligned with the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals
and the New Urban Agenda.

This means re-imagining planning so that the
lessons learned on the limits to growth on a
planet with finite resources can be shared by
society. Adopting a nature and place-based
approach to the climate emergency and
tackling inequality requires collaboration
across planning and allied professions, civic
society, and the private sector. It also
requires a flexible approach to foster
innovation, learning, and adaptation.

Key to this will be creating capacity to allow
for effective, strategic, and participatory
planning at both regional and national levels.
It will also be important to address
inequalities and include the voices of those
most at-risk from the climate emergency into
our plans. Planning can also coordinate
infrastructure investments to help direct
where and what we build, how we build it, and
how we move around.

City-regions sit at the forefront of current
emergencies. Utilising effective planning
approaches across them can play a
significant role in addressing the challenges
of climate change. Local governments, by
virtue of their close relationships with
businesses, residents, and institutions, also
provide an opportunity for new policies to be
implemented quickly in response to pressing
social, environmental, and economic
challenges. Working together in wider areas,
they can bring powerful additional action to
effectively tackle these challenges.

Local planning functions are key to
mobilising resources, redistributing land
value uplifts, and delivering truly inclusive
place-based solutions for climate
adaptation and mitigation which
communities can influence, co-produce, and own.
This is also essential for sustainable
rural development.

It is the firm belief of the Global Planners
Network that planners throughout the world
have the unique skills, talent, desire, and
commitment to tackle the global crisis we now
face. Planners stand ready to play their part
to harness transformative changes for a
better, fairer, more sustainable future.

World Town Planning Day takes place every November 8th, bringing planners and communities together
to celebrate how good planning improves the lives of people and benefits society at large, creating places
to live, work and play. Argentinian professor Carlos María della Paolera started World Town Planning Day
in Buenos Aires in 1949, and today, planners from over 30 countries celebrate the occasion with lectures,
school competitions, fundraising, charity events, planning awards, and street festivals.

The quality of construction in the light of the various new regulations: an interprofessional approach

dev — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 14:53:28 +0000

On Friday 30 June2023, ECTP-CEU had the opportunity to participate actively in an important event organised by Cobaty International -an ECTP-CEU partnership member- and Cobaty Italia in #Milan, Italy. The title was ‘#Quality in the #construction of the built environment in the light of the new #norm – an inter-professional approach’.

ECTP-CEU vice president Markus Hedorfer participated representing the European #spatial #planners. Other professions who spoke at the conference were architects, engineers, builders, developers, legal experts, notaries, economists, EU decision makers ; it was a brilliant opportunity to work on vertical expertise integration around the construction sector, where spatial #planning must increase its role and become more proactive.

Special thanks go of course to Giovanni M. Bottini, president of Cobaty International and Laura Rocca, president of Cobaty Italia.

Excellence in Planning Education: Local, European & Global Perspective

dev — Sat, 25 Jul 2015 13:56:46 +0000

Edited by Izabela Mironowicz

In 2008 when Anna Geppert was editing the first issue of Planning Education, it was meant to be more an internal report providing the AESOP community with an impression of our debates, given the importance of the issues at stake. After more than 2,000 downloads, she realised that the AESOP community needed a platform for sharing ideas discussed during our meetings. The second issue of Planning Education, published in 2010, had grown to a 75-pages well-structured journal. Building on AESOP debates, it had a wider perspective and context.

This third issue continues this development. It reflects debates which have profoundly interested the AESOP community in recent years: how to manage planning schools in times of crisis (debated at the Heads of Schools meeting in 2012 in Ås); how to bridge education and practice (discussed at Heads of Schools in 2013 in Gdańsk and 2014 in Lisbon); what does the European dimension of planning and planners really mean, both in education and practice (discussions in Gdańsk and Lisbon); how to respond to the local, European and global challenges of planning and planning education (discussed in Lisbon and the Heads of Schools in 2015 in Madrid)…Each issue of Planning Education should offer at least a little innovation. This one proposes a new section, which I believe, would be especially interesting for our community: national case studies of the curricula in planning. I am delighted that Christophe Demazière has agreed to do the first of this hopefully permanent section with the case study of France. I am convinced that sharing our knowledge about planning programmes will contribute to the general quality of our pedagogy. This issue discusses quality recognition and AESOP’s role in this process. The focus of Planning Education No 3 is the future. However paradoxically, we start with a re-working of the famous Klaus Kunzmann paper „Unconditional Surrender” presented at the 2004 AESOP Congress. What has been foreseen in Grenoble is even more evident in our 2015 Congress in Prague. I am delighted that Klaus Kunzmann has agreed to develop his inspiring paper, discussing the „Challenges of Planning Education in Times of Globalisation”. This is a thoughtful contribution to the development of our profession, including education.

I am very grateful to my colleagues, who, in spite of their busy schedules, have prepared outstanding papers for this issue, with a special word of gratitude to Anna Geppert, who was constantly encouraging me to complete this issue, and to Klaus Kunzmann, whose stimulating support, exceptional contribution and unquestionable wisdom has helped to complete the structure of Planning Education you are about to read.

Planning Education No 3 is also available to be read on ISSUU.
