Special Issue: Exploring conformorality in planning debates

Stefano Cozzolino from the research group “Spatial Planning and Urban Design”, together with Anita De Franco from the Polytechnic University of Milan, was responsible for a special issue in the journal “Transactions”. The special issue is a follow up product from the annual conference of the AESOP Thematic Group “Ethics, Values and Planning”, which took place at the ILS last September under the title “Breaking through conformorality in urban and regional studies”. In terms of content, it deals with the intriguing concept of “conformorality” that describes the tendency of individuals within a particular group or community to align with specific ideologies and values. Specifically, it deals with the questions of the role and impact of “conformorality” in planning debates. https://doi.org/10.24306/TrAESOP.2024.01.000.
