ISOCARP has always be- lieved that creating and sharing knowledge, experience and expertise with all, regardless of geography, ideology or level of development, is very much needed to make cities and regions more livable, socially in- clusive, better integrated and connected. The five decades of ISOCARP’s international involvement testify to the strength of our commitment and to our contribution to its achievement on a global scale. The dynamics of planning transformation have been exceptionally in- tensive over the last two decades, mostly because of processes such as globalization, the recognition of sustainability as an over-arching phil- osophy of development, advances in technology and communication, and in response to climate and energy challenges. No less relevant are social issues, including new dimensions of urban democracy and recogni- tion of the role played by a civil society. The changing reality affects the way planners work and encroaches on the very meaning of the profes- sion itself, its instruments and procedures, as well as that way planning solutions are conceived, developed and implemented. This year’s Congress, with its theme “Cities Save the World: Let’s Re- invent Planning”, reflects ISOCARP’s views on the status quo of the plan- ning profession and objectives for its further development. The Congress gathers planners, architects, policy makers, urban managers and all those who are involved in place-making to explore new professional perspec- tives by concentrating on critical issues ranging from carbon cities, build- ing cities in a cooperative way, developing trans-boundary systems and sustainable knowledge regions to hyper-dynamic age and the changing frontiers of planning. Review 11 is all about reinventing planning and developing new insights into future city and spatial planning. Many authors contributed to present a fresh look at this topic, one that is responsive to contemporary and fu- ture challenges. Ying Long and Lun Liu presented their research using big/open data to quantify urban dynamics in China. Brad Stelfox, Michael Quinn and Matt Carlson contributed a case about a computer model- ing-based planning tool for assessing the cumulative impacts of alterna- tive futures for the Calgary Region of Western Canada. Khalid Saeed’s paper revisits Urban Dynamics and establishes its continued relevance for modeling and testing planning and economic policies. The results of implementing the energy recycling techniques in Turpan Solar City are attention grabbing as presented in the paper of Hong Wei and Yujin Hui, 4 ISOCARP · REVIEW 11 ISOCARP PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD and the cooperative public private planning and development experience from Philadelphia’s University City by Anthony Sorrentino. Meeting the climate change challenges is explored and presented by Ebru Gencer, Ric Stephens and Erik Johanson. Elizabeth Reynolds’ paper proposes innova- tive measures for urban agriculture, while Belinda Yuen and Kallidaikuri- chi Seetharam brought in an illustration of the emerging role of planners in building age-friendly cities in Singapore and Japan. Tao Yang’s article speaks about using Space Syntax as a computer tool for planning. A research team from the U.S. Department of Energy, Argonne Na- tional Laboratories, presents a program to design and test alternative city configurations. Jiangyan Wang and Meng Fei, and Zhigao Wang pro- vided fascinating urban design examples from their countries. Stefan An- derberg reports on the development of Sweden’s Vastra Hamnen. And lastly, Kongjian Yu provides an alternative plan for Beijing. Preparing this publication has taken a tremendous amount of time and effort. To all who contributed, I would like to extend my very warm thanks: to the authors for generously sharing their knowledge and ex- perience, to the editors James Reilly and Frances M. Klass, for their con- tinuing dedication, patience and wise guidance in working with colleagues from around the world, and to Lucian Perici who coordinated the pro- duction of this publication. My special thanks go to Shi Nan, Vice Presi- dent of ISOCARP, who devotedly worked with the whole team. Gratitude also goes to the designer, Ricardo Moura, whose designs made reading this book a more enjoyable experience. Finally, I would like to extend sin- cere appreciation to The Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment, The Netherlands, and to the City of Rotterdam. Without their generous help, this publication would not have been possible. ISOCARP · REVIEW 11 5 LOCAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE’S FOREWORD LOCAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE’S FOREWORD TIMES ARE CHANGING “ Seen from a spaceship, our planet also looks like a spaceship surrounded with nothing than emptiness, without any form of life. We understand that we have to do live together with this planet as our only option. “ Wubbo Ockels, the first Dutch astronaut Martin Aarts We are facing a new world order. Because of the growth of China, India, Senior advisor urban Africa and South America, the supremacy of the so-called western development Rotterdam world has come to an end. We are all living in one world, and we all have to deal with the effects of climate change and shortages of food, water and energy, as well as economic crises. At the same time, the existence of a network society, where the widespread use of the internet, PCs, smart phones, and cloud-based computing has led to better access to information, increased globaliz- ation, the empowerment of citizens and the democratization of deci- sion making in the form of multilateralism. At the same time, much more detailed data and information on cities, especially real-time informa- tion coming from sensors, smart phones, smart meters and GPS track- ing, has become available to assist us to prepare better plans. (Castells 1996, 2013, Rifkin, 2012) Cities are the motor of innovation, and innovation is the driving force behind economic growth. However, it is not a matter of business as usual, but rather of adapting the new reality to our economic system. So in the present age of globalisation, our cities are under heavy pres- sure to undertake drastic urban transformation. Cities (city regions) have to take responsibility for unprecedented transformation of their environment, because they can easily become less relevant if they don’t adapt to the new situation. At the same time that we are in an economic transformation mode, we should transform our planning system. Instead of planning items like houses, roads, schools and other sectorial things, we should plan challenging, inspiring and comfortable cities to create an inclusive city and attract talent. The vision of all cities is always to foster a strong economy, a good quality of life and a nice quality of space. Today I would like to alter that vision with the adjective “sustainable.” We should plan a sustainable economy, a sustainable quality of life and a sustainable quality of space.
