    (AESOP, 2022) Perrone, Camilla; Deffner, Alex; Silva, Paulo; Schreurs, Jan; Ševkušić, Milica; Darwich, Rozana; Dabović, Tijana; Campagna, Michele
    This report presents the final outcomes of the AEKOM (AESOP Knowledge Management and Sharing Platform) three-year project, officially launched in July 2019. The project aimed to establish a sustainable digital infrastructure to support AESOP’s transition towards Open Science principles and enhanced knowledge management. AEKOM consisted of three core components: a Journal Management System (OJS), an Institutional Repository (Open Preprint Server), and a Conference Management System (under development), all integrated with a redesigned AESOP website. The infrastructure was developed using open-source software to ensure sovereignty, interoperability, and long-term sustainability. In addition to technical implementation, the project emphasised community building, stakeholder engagement, and the strategic positioning of AESOP within the broader digital transition of planning scholarship. The report documents project background, activities, infrastructure solutions, community-building initiatives, budget execution, and recommendations for future development.

    Programme – WPSC 2001 Planning for Cities in the 21st Century: Opportunities and Challenges
    (College of Architecture & Urban Planning, Tongji University, 2001)
    This document presents the official programme of the World Planning Schools Congress 2001 (WPSC 2001), held in Shanghai, China, from 11 to 15 July 2001. As the first World Congress of Planning Schools, the event brought together planning scholars, educators, and practitioners from all continents, under the overarching theme “Planning for Cities in the 21st Century: Opportunities and Challenges”. The programme outlines the full structure of the Congress, including plenary sessions, thematic tracks, paper sessions, roundtables, and special events. Sessions address a wide range of topics central to urban and regional planning at the turn of the millennium, such as globalization and regional development, planning governance and participation, sustainability, planning law and institutions, urban design, transportation, housing, planning education, and the application of information technologies in planning. In addition to the academic sessions, the programme documents the organisational framework of the Congress, including session chairs, discussants, institutional affiliations, steering and programme committees, and local hosting arrangements. As such, the programme serves both as a practical guide to the event and as an important historical record of the structure, scope, and international character of the first World Planning Schools Congress.
