to have a successful event. On behalf of the entire Local Organising Com-mittee, we are looking forward
to seeing and welcoming you all!
Albert van Hattum, Chair LOC
Heemstede, The Netherlands
Introduction by the General Rapporteur
city of the industrial revolution looses its clear
borders and flows into the surrounding countryside. But it keeps its clear, if bigger centre.
Tramways and trains (commuting) influence daily
life relations.
The present, third stage of the city he considers as the Scrambled Egg, the city of many
centres scattered around in the urban field,
without a traditional hierarchy. City and countryside merge into a carpet metropolis. Distance gets
almost meaningless in daily life by light speed
relations (communication).
Already in 1997 the Temporary Autonomous
Network (TAN), a group of younger planners
related to ISoCaRP, started a research and discussion project on the topic. TAN uses another
model in its analysis, differentiating between
three realities, existing simultaneously as layers:
The first layer can be called “Arche-Città”
the built world of spaces and places, the Layer
where changes take place gradually, with the pace
of building, constructing roads etc.
The second layer is the “Cine-Città”, the
world of physical flows, of flows of people and
goods on rail, road and in the air. This layer is
characterised by rising speed and shortening time,
reducing the size of space, the size of the globe.
It is the reality of the borderless physical
networks with their own patterns and laws, a
world not only populated by cosmopolites,
businessmen and tourists, but also by emigrants
and refugees.
The general topic
Information technology, globalisation and
deregulation are just some keywords for something that gained a strong influence during the
last decade, in societies of developed as well as of
developing countries. For important theorists it is
quite probable that we are witnessing the early
phase of a fundamental change of the socioeconomic system, comparable to the agricultural
revolution in 15th century or the industrial revolution in 19th century. If so, this of course will
deeply affect the way society is using and
organising space – our very professional field.
The title of the congress, “Honey, I shrunk
the space – Planning in the information age”,
refers to compression of time and space as the
possible main impact on planning. A network
society, cyberspace, E-topia, event cities; the
object of planning and its conditions are
changing. Such familiar time-space borders like
“inside-outside”, “private-public”, “here-there”,
“city-countryside” or “yesterday-tomorrow” seem
to disappear, or at least change their significance.
Two instructive models
As far as the city as object of planning is
concerned, Cedric Price used the egg as metaphor
to describe the historical development: The first
stage of the city he describes as a Boiled Egg; the
city clearly separated from the outside countryside, and with a clear centre. Walking distance
dominates daily life relations.
The second stage he sees as a Fried Egg; the
6
And a third layer is added to this by information technology now. It is an even faster reality
of direct, online exchange of information and
interaction, the world of cyberspace, the reality of
timeless time and distantless space – the “TeleCittà”. The three layers, or realities, of Arche-,
Cine- and Tele-Città have their own dynamics,
time-space balance and their own laws.
Dynamic networks and floating nodes is the
theme of parallel session 2.
How does the dynamic network
environment affect location patterns for housing,
offices, industries etc.? What is the impact on our
cities and countryside of the rapidly developing
nodes in the networks: the airports, high-speed
railway stations, edge cities, etc.? How is our
perception and use of time and space affected? It
deals with how the network-world of flows and
nodes is influenced by globalisation and
information technology. How should or can
planners intervene in this world?
Consequences for planning
If physical and time distances are shrinking
to zero by ever faster communication, will there
be any space left to plan at all? Can these “Eggs”
and “Cittàs” help us understand the processes
and guide planning action? The 2001 congress
will work on future-oriented answers to this
question, maybe even paradoxical answers.
Because on the one hand on a closer look, it is
not the whole world that is shrinking to the spot,
but a new Tele-Città layer is added to the existing
physical structures of the Arche- and Cine-Città.
And on the other hand, even in that world of
shrinking space-time dimensions the primary task
of planning – managing time-space-relations –
still might be useful.
Parallel session 3 discusses cyberspace
and the loss of concentration.
How do the real world and the so -called
cyberspace react upon each other? How does
cyberspace change our use and perception of real
space? Do activities and services get that detached from time and space that new concentration or de-concentration patterns emerge?
What are the intervention possibilities for
planners in this new digital reality?
Parallel session 4, Open Platform
The ISoCaRP 2001 conference will use the
findings of the TAN meetings. In three parallel
sessions the aspects of the congress theme are
discussed:
This session will deal with any topic of professional interest for planners and not directly
related to the core topic of the congress. It is a
marketplace of interesting and inspiring ideas,
projects or analyses. As far as possible, the rapporteur will structure this marketplace thematically or geographically.
Parallel session 1 is about cultural identity
and spatial segregation.
What is the impact of the global, generic
architecture and urban concepts on cultural
identity? Does the information society bring new
patterns of segregation?

Implementation Lab
Instead of a Post-congress tour, an Implementation Lab (to be held at Delft University of Technology) will offer participants an opportunity to implement the theoretical knowledge of the conference in
a workshop-like setting. The programme includes a tour in the region involved. Details can be found in
this brochure.
Young Planners Programme
The Young Planners Programme takes place three days prior to the main Congress at the Telematic
Institute in Enschede. Details can be found in this brochure.

Congress Programme
The Congress provides opportunities for international and Dutch delegates to meet and discuss
issues of mutual interest by offering a wide range of opportunities. It will provide essential information and
stimulate critical analysis among all practitioners in all disciplines (incl. planners, citizens, lawyers, environmentalists, developers, government representatives and administrators etc.) in the field of urban and
regional planning.
The Congress itself offers a comprehensive programme mainly consisting of plenary keynote
addresses, three parallel workshop-sessions (presentation of/discussion on selected and invited papers;
submission of papers was closed on 15 March 2001), a Marketplace Session (Open Platform to any topic
of professional interest for planners (a.o. inspiring ideas) and not directly related to the core topic of the
congress) and a closing plenary session.
Immediately following the ISoCaRP Congress the fourth Biennial of Towns and Town Planners in
Europe will be held in Rotterdam on 20, 21 and 22 September. Its theme will be "Cultures of Cities –
transformation generating new opportunities'. It will review links between contemporary cultural developments and modern approaches to urban planning and design in Europe. On 20 September ISoCaRP
General Rapporteur Andreas Schneider will be among the keynote speakers of the day. ISoCaRP Congress
participants are invited to extend their programme by participating in this or other events of the Biennial.

Questions to the Congress related to the core topic
by the Ministry of Transport and Water Management
?? What influence does the information society and especially e-commerce (home delivery of goods)
and working at home (telework in a flexible way) have on mobility?
?? In what respect remain the existing spatial structures controlling relative to changes caused by the
emerging information society? Are metropolises important centres for ITC development?
?? To which extent has the information society penetrated the different economical sectors and
what are the consequences of this for preferential places of business and space occupation?
?? What changes occur as a result of the clustering of businesses (especially related to the ICT
sector) and the centralisation/decentralisation of operating processes and the distribution over
front/back offices?
?? What actually are knowledge workers and what is their quantitative contribution to the different
sectors; what possibly deviating spatial living and working patterns and wishes (life styles) do they
have?
?? How can the Government react to the noticed developments, what problems with respect to control
and planning are identified?

Implementation Lab
Delft (20-23 September 2001)
tance of flows that determine the development
potential of space, with globalisation (economic,
cultural, etc.), with the increasing importance of
nodes and transport corridors, with the development of social divisions at higher, even global
scale levels etc.
The case is the South Wing of the Randstad
Holland, the region comprising Leiden - Den
Haag - Delft - Rotterdam - Dordrecht. The region lacks behind the North Wing (Amsterdam –
Utrecht) in positive economic effects of ICT.
How to develop the position of the region in the
global networks? The future of the greenhouse
area of Westland and the Port of Rotterdam are
urgent planning issues to address.
As members of the advisory task groups, the
participants play roles of planners with different
backgrounds. Each group consists of a private
investor, a real estate developer, a privatised public transport company, a logistic company, an
environmental interest group and an ICTcompany. Thus each task group represents
place/arche città (real estate developer, environmentalist), flows/cine città (privatised public transport, logistic company) and virtual space/tele
città (ICT company). The jury takes over the role
of the government. The jury will evaluate the
contributions of the task groups on a set of
criteria.
A new element in the congress is the Implementation Lab. It replaces the traditional postconference tour by a working session to explore
in practice the findings of the core-conference,
using new technologies. The change from the
post-conference tour is not absolute: the social
and travel-aspects are maintained in the evening
programme and the tour that concludes the
workshop. Unfortunately, being an experiment,
the Implementation Lab is open to a limited
number of 25 participants. The Lab will use the
computing facilities of the Faculty of Civil
Engineering and Geosciences of the Delft
University of Technology. The Department of
Design and Construction Management will host
the Lab.
The case that is being worked on in the
Implementation Lab is a given regional planning
concept for the next 10 years that has to be adapted to an ‘urgent planning matter’. A sudden increase of population requires a proper answer by
the planning of major urban development of
about 100.000 housing units. The participants are
members of advisory task groups that are asked
to advise the regional government on how to modify the regional plan in order to accommodate
the challenge. The consequences of the network
society as discussed in the core-conference have
to be incorporated in the advice. How to deal
with a network society with its increasing imporThursday

Young Planners’ Programme
Enschede (13-15 September 2001)
Introduction
See 'Registration Fees' in this Brochure for price details.
This year's Young Planners programme will take place in Enschede with the co-operation of the Telematic
Institute, about 250 km East of Amsterdam Airport (Schiphol).
It starts 3 days prior to the congress. All selected participants are supposed to arrive on 12
September in Enschede. The Workshop starts on 13th and ends on 15th September 2001. On the 15th, all
Young Planners will move to Utrecht in order to prepare the Plenary Presentation at the main congress on
Sunday morning, 16th September 2001, at the Congress Venue (University of Utrecht).
Young Planners Programme participants have to participate at the main ISoCaRP Congress.
Subject of the Programme
Selected Young Planners will be confronted with a concrete situation. The participants will work in
smaller teams (5 members per team). Each team will be stimulated to work at mutual understanding
through intensive dialogue and by confronting each other with different creative ideas. They will be asked
to establish an intervention strategy for the problems posed, using their creativity and good sense. The
teams will need to keep the broad frame of their subject of study in mind. The fieldwork will serve as a
basis for the proposals, where especially the scope of the project in relation to the existing context is
essential.
A presentation of the accomplished work to the congress audience on the opening day of the main
ISoCaRP congress must be prepared. The Programme in short will be as follows:
Wednesday, 12 September 2001
Arrival: selected & invited participants in Enschede; University Campus Hotel; Evening: Welcome supper
Thursday, 13 September 2001
Introduction on Project Study and Site Visit; Workshop start
Friday, 14 September and Saturday 15 September 2001
Workshop; afternoon departure to Utrecht (Student’s Hostel)
Sunday, 16 September 2001
Presentation to the main Congress audience. Young Planners stay for the entire length of the main
congress; Departure 20 September 2001

YOUNG PLANNERS’ PROGRAMME (continued)
Participation fee, travel and Accommodation
A special designed Young Planners Package is offered to those Young Planners that have complied
to the criteria and therefore selected and officially invited by ISoCaRP (see 'Registration Fees' in this
Brochure).
The YP Congress fee and YP Accommodation costs have to be borne by the Young Planners
themselves and they are encouraged to look for sponsorship in their own country (if needed). Applicants
in need of support (e.g. developing countries): see item UNESCO sponsorship.
Participation Procedures
The ISoCaRP Secretariat will report with a formal letter of invitation on the selection(s).
Participation to the Young Planners Programme is firm only with: (a) formal acceptance of the ISoCaRP
invitation, (b) completed registration and accommodation form and (c) fulfilment of all financial dues.
UNESCO, Young Planners Sponsorship
ISoCaRP is happy that UNESCO - the Unit of Human Habitat and Sciences, Paris-France - has
granted us once again a subvention that enables ISoCaRP to fund a part of the travel and accommodation
costs of some 10 Young Planners.
Candidates, wishing to apply for sponsorship have to comply with the criteria as stipulated above
and have to add/submit a formal written request for support. The Young Planners Co-ordinators in cooperation with ISoCaRP/UNESCO will judge the righteousness for sponsorship.
Approved Applicants will have to sign an official UNESCO-ISoCaRP Sponsorship contract.
Visa-requirements
Irrespective of the outcome of selection, all applicants need urgently to start inquiring the visaprocedures (documents needed) at the Dutch Embassy or Consulate in their respective country. These are
different per country. They need to contact ISoCaRP as soon as possible in order to be completely
prepared once the selection procedures are finalised.
As soon as the selection of candidates is finalised (15th April 2001), UNESCO/ISoCaRP will
provide the selected candidates with an official invitation. All selected candidates do need to have their visa
officially be confirmed with a copy to ISoCaRP before the 1st June 2001 at the latest; exceptions cannot be
made (due to most likely accommodation and logistic constraints).
Background information
The objective of the Young Planners Programme is to bring together 20-25 Young Planners
professionals from all parts of the world to give them the opportunity to work together in a tight team, on
a specific subject/study area and to establish a good working relation and work results in a very short
period of time. Since its start this Programme has been supported by the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). In order to enable Young Planners from all parts of the
world to actually participate, UNESCO offers financial support in some of the travel and accommodation
expenses for those candidates that are recommended by ISoCaRP.
The Young Planners Programme has been held on the occasion of ISoCaRP conferences since
1991 in Mexico. Since then Young Planners' Workshops have been held in Spain (Cordoba, 1992), United
Kingdom (Glasgow, 1993), Czech Republic (Prague, 1994), Australia (Sydney, 1995), Israel (Jerusalem,
1996), Japan (Ogaki, 1997), Portugal (Azores, 1998), Germany (Gelsenkirchen, 1999) and in Mexico
(Cancún, 2000).

Since its origin the province of Utrecht has played an important role in Dutch history. The province
originated from the diocese of Utrecht. In the “Stichtse Landbrief”, which was signed on 17 May 1375, the
“Standen of Utrecht” were first mentioned. The “Standen” which after 1400 were called the States of
Utrecht at that time got some influence on the local government. In 1814 the province started to resemble
its present configuration.
Like all other Dutch provinces the Province of Utrecht is divided into municipalities. At present there are
33 municipalities in the province of Utrecht. The province forms an administrative link between the State
Government and these municipalities. Concerning landscape Utrecht can be seen as the Netherlands in
miniature. Forests, heath en hills, but also Polder landscape, rivers, meadows en lakes. Capital of the province is the city of Utrecht with more than 230.000 inhabitants.
The province of Utrecht is part of the “Randstad” the economic, administrative and cultural centre of the
Netherlands. The province is very centrally situated at a crossroad of different connections. Utrecht is only
some 60 kilometres away from The Hague where the Government has its seat. Also Amsterdam and the
world’s biggest port of Rotterdam are very close by. The airport of Schiphol is only 15km away from the
province border.
The atmosphere for living in the province is unique. Nature has a lot to offer and the villages seem to be
untouched since their foundation. Architecture in Utrecht is focused on low building. As a result the many
historic buildings match very well. The old city culture in the province of Utrecht offers unknown
panoramas.

ABOUT ISoCaRP
The International Society of City and Regional Planners is a global association of professional
planners. It was founded in 1965 with the objective of bringing together recognised and highly qualified
individual planners in an international network. Its members now come from 64 countries on all continents.
ISoCaRP is a Non-Governmental Organisation officially recognised by the UN, UNCHS and the
Council of Europe. It has the official consultative status with UNESCO. The objectives of ISoCaRP include
the improvement of planning practice through the creation of a platform for the exchange between planners
from different countries, promotion of the planning profession in all its aspects; promoting of planning
research; improvement of planning education and training; increase information, awareness and advice,
particularly on major planning issues.
The key event of ISoCaRP is the annual congress dealing with a topical international planning theme.
In addition ISoCaRP is involved in the following activities:
- Seminars, conferences, exhibitions and study tours;
- Publication of congress & seminar reports and case studies;
- Workshops and competitions especially for young planners;
- Publication of up to date comparative material on planning policies, methods, legislation, etc. on every
country
- Representation at major international events concerned with planning;
