The European Council of Spatial Planners (ECTP-CEU) is the umbrella organisation for spatial planning institutes in Europe.[1] It was founded in 1985 (when it was called the European Council of Town Planners, hence its initials in English). In June 2014 it had 32 members in 24 European countries. When they join, new member organisations sign an International Agreement on the nature of spatial planning, the responsibilities of planners, common educational standards and a code of conduct. It runs an Awards Scheme every two years, giving prizes for outstanding work in creating attractive places.
Current work of ECTP-CEU includes:
- Dissemination of the Charter of European Planning - a manifesto for planning European cities in the 21st century[2]
- The design of a Vision enhancing the quality and efficiency of cities and urban life in Europe
- The production of a guide to spatial planning and territorial cohesion
- Publishing the proceedings of conferences on European spatial development and the preparation of forthcoming conferences
- Organising the next European Urban and Regional Planning Awards.
- Participation in the organisation of the Biennial of European Towns and Town Planners
- Publishing studies on the Recognition of Planning Qualifications in Europe and proposals on the mutual recognition and mobility of planners across Europe
- Organising workshops for young planners on current urban issues and objectives of the European Union relating to territorial and urban planning
