Dear Participants!
Tervetuloa – Välkommen – Welcome
to space is luxury – the 24th AESOP Annual Conference
In 2010, the world is clearly one that can be called
‘urban’. In relative terms, more than half of the
world’s population dwells in urban settings – about
one billion under ‘slum conditions’.
Having quality space available equals
commanding a ‘luxury’!
Planning and urban design are key factors in
shaping and managing space and generate the
wished for quality spaces. The concept of space
and concomitantly that of spatial quality includes
different meanings and dimensions. Space is physical, including architecture and urban
form. Space is also socially constructed through various forms of human interventions.
Space is contested and a reason for serious conflicts. Space is presented and space
represents. For planning, the management of the competing uses for space requires
complex interventions. The making of better places that are valued and have identity
is an enduring ambition of planning. And, returning to the start of this brief reflection,
the major challenge of spatial planning is to find solutions for a more sustainable urban
millennium. Space is expensive and exhaustive, a luxury we cannot afford any longer, if it
means excessive use of space in terms of energy inefficiency and traffic pollution.
The Centre for Urban and Regional Studies at Aalto University welcomes 700 planning
scholars and professionals from all over the world to Finland and to discuss the manifold
issues of space is luxury – and to explore the multitude of related planning issues.

Welcome Note by AESOP
Dear Participants,
On behalf of AESOP, it is my honor to welcome all of you to
our 24th Annual Conference. We could not wish for a better
place than the fascinating southern coast of Finland to
discuss the pros and cons of the conference theme space
is luxury.
Finland provides a good case in point, having plenty
of space but also knowing perfectly well how to use this
YTK • Aalto University 5
as a scarce source in environmental friendly and highly efficient ways. It reminds us to
our central mission as planners to sustain the quality of the environment as a crucial
parameter in a time of economic reconstruction.
At the time of writing, the figures of registration have touched already the amount
of six hundred participants with a matching large number of papers and presentations,
promising a very lively meeting and a lot of scientific exchange.
I would like to thank all of the Local Organising Committee and the Centre for Urban
and Regional Studies for the management of this outstanding event. The very attractive
venue of Dipoli provides a stimulating space for four intensive working days – but also to
experience the spirit of the AESOP community. All signs are set to ‘green’ for a successful
meeting.
I wish you a very productive conference!
Willem Salet
President of AESOP
Welcome Note by Aalto University
Dear delegates of the AESOP 2010 conference,
It is a great honour for me to welcome you to the 24th
Annual Conference of the Association of European Schools
of Planning to Otaniemi. I am very pleased that this major
international and multidisciplinary event with almost 700
delegates from Europe and all over the world takes place
in Aalto University.
Aalto University, in the form of Helsinki University
of Technology, has been an active member in AESOP
almost since its foundation. This relation will undoubtedly continue in the future, as
Aalto shares many of the aims that AESOP has. Also Aalto strives at changing the world
through interdisciplinary research and discourses across traditional boundaries. One of
our focus areas in research is the human centred living environment, which is in the core
of planning research as well.
We know AESOP as a highly esteemed and well known forum in planning, promoting
the development of planning through mutual dialogue and communication. AESOP’s
engagement is about a better spatial future. In my opinion, the theme of the 2010
Conference, space is luxury, challenges and enables particularly well debates and critical
reflections concerning future developments of planning.
I thank the local organising committee at YTK and all Aalto personnel who have
worked hard already for two years to make this event possible and wish you all an
energizing conference and fruitful encounters with Finnish planning practice!
Tuula Teeri
President of Aalto University
