About us

The teaching and research field of international planning systems is mostly engaged into international trends of spatial planning, likewise the shrinking of cities and regions , the comparative research of spatial planning in Europe and the influence international trends have on spatial development and planning strategies on a national and regional level.

This exchange of experiences is also supported by an international network of science and practice.
