Cities, Olympic and Paralympic Games and other Mega Events : How to learn from experience?

The Young Planners Workshop 2017 will be concluded at the 12th Biennial of European Towns and Town Planners -12è Biennale Européene des Villes et des Urbanistes- to be held 27- 29  June 2017 in Paris & Plaine Commune under the general title Villes et Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques, bilans et prospective – Cities and Olympic and Paralympic Games, feedback and future.

 

In the frame of the Biennial, the ECTP Young Planners Workshop is scheduled as a preliminary event of the Biennial in order to encourage debate amongst young planners. 

 

The ECTP-CEU/XII Biennial organization encourages young planners throughout Europe to exchange experiences and ideas about European urban and regional challenges. To encourage their participation, the Biennial organization offers free admission for the Young Planners Workshop participants and the ECTP-CEU contributes to their travel expenses. Abstracts must be submitted before March, 10th 2017.

 

The workshop is spread over April-June in an “online” format; giving the opportunity to discuss in depth the projects in order to enrich final presentations in Paris at the Biennial. The final papers will be published in the post-Biennial e-book.

 

ECTP-CEU (the European Council of Spatial Planners - Conseil Européen des Urbanistes), founded in 1985, brings together 40 000 spatial planners with 27 professional town planning associations and institutes from 25 European countries. It is an umbrella association providing its members with a common framework for planning practice, planning education, continuing professional development and the definition of professional responsibilities.
