spatial planning
Panamá logró su plena soberanía gracias a los Tratados Torrijos-Carter (1977) que suponían la devolución a Panamá de la soberanía sobre el Canal interoceánico y de las áreas adyacentes que estaban bajo el control de Estados Unidos, un total de 1.432 kilómetros cuadrados. Este momento histórico fue también un tiempo de sueños y de proyectos innovadores para el país en busca del camino definitivo hacia el desarrollo. La Ciudad del Saber es hija de esos sueños y cimiento de ese desarrollo basado en la innovación, la cultura emprendedora y la sostenibilidad.

Masdar: The World’s First Zero-Carbon City | kontraPLAN | kontraPLAN
In 2007, the Abu Dhabi government announced that it would create the world’s first zero-carbon city, which would be known as Masdar (Masdar means source in Arabic). The announcement stated that Masdar would rely solely on renewable energy (primarily solar), while yielding no waste. Masdar would become home to a university with the purpose of studying sustainability and attracting the top clean tech companies. All of the transportation in the city would be via Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) car, instead of traditional cars.Urban planning is a key instrument for guiding urban development and creating prosperity in cities. However, traditional modes of planning have largely proved ineffective in dealing with the challenges of urbanization, e.g. slum formation, urban sprawl, and the impacts of climate change. Planning frameworks, including their tools, institutions and regulations, play a significant role in determining sustainable cities. This E-Dialogue on Urban Planning will explore all these issues, and more.

Ethical urban planning – is there such a thing? - Sustainability
T he book is a textbook in planning and urban development and can also be read by professional planners. The authors are Marcus Johansson, PhD, political scientists and researcher at the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies at Örebro University, and Abdul Khakee, Professor Emeritus at the Department of Urban Planning and Environment, KTH in Stockholm and at Department of Political Sciences, Umeå University. Johansson and Khakee do not only incline towards Aristotle and Chomsky. Ethical egoism is explained by the Wolf in the strip cartoon Bamse by Rune Andréason who thinks: It is only right when I get something, for all the others are egoists and think only of themselves. It is only I who think of myself.

Regional Studies Association - Future Events: Regional Studies European Conference 2012
The Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP) will hold its 26th Annual Congress in Ankara, Turkey, from 11 to 15 July 2012. As 2012 will also mark the 25th Anniversary of AESOP our aim is to celebrate the occasion with the participation of many distinguished guests and keynote speakers, along with a number of special sessions and activities. The Congress will also provide the setting for stimulating workshops, round-table discussions, and exciting excursions, during which issues of spatial planning and development specific to Ankara may also be explored. We believe that the congress motto "Planning to Achieve/Planning to Avoid" is an umbrella for a wide spectrum of planning concerns, and explicitly expresses the variety of functions planning has to accommodate in the face of the material conditions of the modern world.
