Only a few days...

We are proud to welcome over 120 academics from the field of planning, law, and property rights from 10 to 12 February 2010 in Dortmund! The Ruhr, as you certainly have already heard, is the European Capital of Culture 2010. We are happy that you will find many exciting opportunities for sightseeing before and after the PLPR conference.

The abstracts that passed through rigorous double-blind review show the wide scope of PLPR. Therefore, papers will deal with land use regulation, theories of property rights, expropriation, land use control, poverty, or management of natural resources. All presentations will have in common a strong interest in spatial planning issues, law, and property rights. The Book of Abstracts will be available on the conference by the end of January. The presence of academics from Australia, Asia, Africa, North and South America, and from all over Europe demonstrates the demand for our annual conference.

Conference delegates expect not only over 90 vibrant presentations in 21 sessions, but also the poster exhibition “Faces of Land Policy”. Professor Michael Wegener, Professor Harvey M. Jacobs, and Professor Ali Madanipour will deliver inspiring keynote speeches. The founding president of PLPR, Professor Rachelle Alterman, will launch a roundtable on land use regulations and compensation rights. Thomas Hartmann will chair a special PhD-roundtable continuing PLPR’s commitment to young academics’ achievements. On Tuesday 9 February 2010, a pre-conference tour in the evening will take us to some of Dortmund’s highlights. Also, there will be a welcome reception, a conference dinner and a lot of opportunities to schmooze and network (check dates, times, and locations on this website).

Benjamin Davy, Gabi Zimmermann, Heinz Kobs, Kathrina Schmidt, and Thomas Hartmann
