It deals with a broad spectrum of topics which illustrates the complexity of the issues the planning discipline is wrestling with. The authors raise fundamental issues and develop substantiated arguments which, as Klaus Kunzmann formulated,constitute a task for 'a new generation' of planners, academics and practitioners. Strategic spatial planning, the relationship between knowledge and action as well as theory and practice, the role of power in planning and the internationalisation of planning education were, and still remain, central to date. In four lengthy articles and a series of shorter testimonies, a selection of authors of international renown illustrates these issues.This book is also a tribute to Louis Albrechts, a 'champion scholar' at the Planning department at the K.U.Leuven, to commemorate his attainment of emeritus status but most of all his work in the Planning Fields. In a number of shorter contributions, different authors highlight Louis Albrechts' fields of interest: 'the deployment of the concept of power with care and effectiveness in planning practice, the bringing together of social theory and concrete planning processes and his huge and efficient contribution to the facilitation of international scholarship'.
