Deadline: June 15, 2026Detected Apr 7

Suggested angles

The 24-year trajectory of AESOP's Complexity working group shows how planning practice has shifted from predictive models to adaptive frameworks—a panel discussing this evolution could highlight what tools actually work when futures remain genuinely uncertain.

Cyprus's particular geography and governance challenges (island economy, divided territory, climate exposure) offer concrete case studies for testing analytical tools; positioning a paper around Mediterranean planning constraints would differentiate from abstract complexity theory.

Planners managing infrastructure, housing, and environmental decisions need practical decision-making protocols for uncertainty—a submission focusing on translating complexity science into municipal-level planning processes would address the gap between academic frameworks and implementation.

Submit work showing how a specific planning challenge (infrastructure, zoning, climate adaptation) requires rethinking complexity analysis tools rather than applying existing ones.
