Spatial planners and governance experts find inspiration in the complexity sciences for understanding the increasingly fuzzy and dynamic world in which they operate. The aim of the workshop is to explore in what way complexity enables planners to act in co-evolution with this ever-evolving world. With co-evolution we refer to the continuous reconfiguration of actor-networks and/or systems as a consequence of continuous interactions between multiple actor-networks and/or systems. Such co-evolutionary processes may involve amongst others spatio-functional configurations, actor-coalitions as well as institutional arrangements. In the workshop we will explore the ability of planners to act in co-evolution with a multitude of domains and milieus as well as the opportunities to generate productive co-evolution between planning theory and practice.

The current political state of affairs in the Middle East and the resulting influx of population in the European countries acquired proportions of a major human tragedy, and imposed extra burdens on economies already in crises. This creates an immediate need for informed international cooperation. Management of the problem has explicit political, military, and economic dimensions. Yet not of lesser significance are the legal and socio-cultural aspects, and the need to understand the human experience embedded in the process at levels of individuals, families, and communities. The sociological approach to the problem could explain not only the underlying realities of this vast human suffering, but also points to relevant policy issues, foremost to the ‘human rights’ perspective, which need our immediate attention.
