Conference abstracts : XI AESOP congress, Nijmegen, The Netherlands 28 - 31 May 1997

Abstract

This volume contains abstracts of papers and posters presented at the XI AESOP Congress held in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, from 28 to 31 May 1997. The abstracts are organised alphabetically by the surname of the first author and provide an overview of the thematic scope of the congress.

The contributions reflect a wide range of topics in spatial planning, including planning theory, implementation processes, environmental assessment, institutional frameworks, and planning education. The international diversity of authors highlights AESOP’s role as a platform for exchange across different planning cultures and contexts.

The Book of Abstracts served as a key tool for navigating the congress programme, offering insight into the content of sessions beyond titles alone. As such, it represents an important historical record of planning discourse in the late 1990s.
