ISOCARP is proud to announce the upcoming Young Professionals’ workshop in Gdansk, Poland between 16 and 21 April 2023. ISOCARP in partnership with ITACUS (International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association’s Committee on Underground Space) have recently made an agreement with the City of Gdansk – which entails a Young Planning Professionals (YPP) – Young Professionals Think Deep Program (YPTDP) Workshop. The Young Planning Professionals Programme is a crucial component of ISOCARP’s dedication to promote and enhance the planning profession and commitment to facilitate knowledge for better cities with the young generations. The Programme facilitates a unique creative spirit within the Society, and it has become a source of new ideas, innovation and rejuvenation not only for the Society but also for our partners; and has made a huge impact on participants’ professional lives, in the name of the universal vision of promoting and enhancing the planning profession. YPTDP sets on the principle of how to actively involve ITA young members and make them part of a cross-disciplinary cooperation with ISOCARP. The core idea is to combine the proven methodology of ISOCARP’s YPP with the concept of working cross- disciplinarily on underground urbanism issues. According to this tradition, the Gdansk YPP// YPTDP workshop on ‘Bridging the Divide – Connecting the Young City and the Polish Hook Areas in Gdansk’ will be offered this year again between 16-21 April, in Gdansk, Poland. At the same time, this event is intended to become a continuation of the previously organized series of workshops, which took place in 2016 and 2017 and were focusing on the Glasgow Waterfront and Wroclaw West End.
