ISOCARP REVIEW 2025 CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS NOW OPEN Abstract Deadline: 20 May 2025 ISOCARP invites planning professionals, researchers, and policymakers to contribute to the Diamond Edition 2025 of the ISOCARP Review, our flagship peer-reviewed publication, aligned with the theme of the 61st World Planning Congress (WPC61): Cities & Regions in Action: Planning Pathways to Resilience and Quality of Life About the ISOCARP Review For 60 years, ISOCARP has been fueled by a simple yet powerful belief: Knowledge for Better Cities. It's more than a motto—it's the engine behind everything we do. And this year, as we mark the society's diamond milestone, that mission anchors the Review, driving us to ask the hard questions and seek the bold answers cities and regions urgently need. This year's edition tackles major urban challenges, exploring how communities confront crises, adapt to rapid change, and reimagine city life. At its core is a vital question: How do we plan for places where people - all people - can truly thrive?
