ISOCARP Review 13 – Smart Communities

Published in 2017 on the occasion of the 53rd ISOCARP International Congress held in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Editors: Shi Nan, Jim Reilly & Fran Klass

“The Joint Conference of ISOCARP and the Oregon Chapter of the American Planning Association (OAPA) – 53rdISOCARP Congress – was the world planning congress immediately following HABITAT III, the vicennial global summit for urbanization and planning. This means, from a classical planning perspective which would put 20 years as the long term for strategic visioning, our congress will be the first action congress to implement the New Urban Agenda and the International Guidelines on Urban and Territorial Planning. For both of the core documents of Habitat III, ISOCARP played a key role as the most representative community of global planners”
from the Introduction by GR Hongyang Wang, China, General Rapporteur.

Published in 2016 on the occasion of the 52nd ISOCARP International Congress held in Durban, South Africa.

Editors: Shi Nan, Jim Reilly & Fran Klass

´The ISOCARP Congress theme “Cities we have vs. Cities we need” is both a description and prescription for a new urbanism that must adapt and mitigate significant environmental, social and economic change. The ISOCARP Review 12 and 52nd World Planning Congress have embraced this challenge to transform our cities.´
Ric Stephens, ISOCARP President.
