Theme: This event will present and discuss some of the current planning trends and ideas in the Nordic countries. What is in particular ‘at stake’ in planning in the Nordic countries at the moment, and how might this relate to a wider AESOP audience? This is partly in order to introduce the recently established AESOP Thematic Group on Nordic Planning, and partly to discuss similarities and differences in Nordic Planning with a broader AESOP and global audience.

Inevitably, in discussing such overall trends, the event will also bring into attention how the COVID pandemic seems to have pushed forward or changed agendas in relation to spatial development and planning. For instance, increases in telecommuting and multilocality, internet-trading and shopping, activity in the housing and second-home market, outdoor recreational activities, etc. How do we see this after the crisis? Based on ‘best guesses’ and some initial views to post-COVID living, what do we think could be the implications to spatial development and hence to planning? Will our spatial governance and planning systems be well suited for post-COVID? What new challenges and opportunities can be expected for planning? New trends towards more rural living? Counter-urbanisation (sub)trends? Reorganisation of general services? Etc.
