美洲规划院校联合会（ACSP）

简介 美洲规划院校联合会是有权颁发城市与区域规划学位的院校社团。ACSP成员院校由此可以表达他们的共同责任：理解城市与区域的发展动态、加强规划实践、提升新老规划师的教育水平。

ACSP致力于提升规划教育、研究和服务水平。它有责任认可规划领域多样的需求和利益。通过出版学报学刊、举行学术会议、颁发奖项、参与学位授予过程等，它努力彰显院校中规划教育的角色。ACSP认为，规划教育应延伸至课堂之外，在规划实践的天地中与规划从业人员和机构紧密相随。

APSA

The Asian Planning Schools Association (APSA) is a non-profit and non-political association that aims at providing opportunities for scholars and planners to discuss issues related to planning, to exchange opinions and understand problems of planning in Asian countries, and to foster new generations of academics and professional planners in Asia.

The Association was founded in August 1993 at the 2nd International Congress of Asian Planning Schools in Hong Kong that was organized by Dr. Anthony Yeh of the Centre of Urban Planning and Environmental Management, University of Hong Kong on 25-27 August 1993 as part of the celebration programme of the 80th anniversary of the University. This Congress was a follow up activities of the 1st International Congress of City and Regional Planning Schools/Departments of Asian Universities organized by Prof. Sadao Watanabe, Department of Urban Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo, at the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan in 11-12 November 1991. In that meeting, Prof. Watanabe explored with the participants the idea of setting up a more formal organization for further exchange. This idea was further explored in the 2nd International Congress. The participants from 15 countries in Asia participated in the Congress felt that there is a need to establish a formal network for exchange and collaboration and particularly to enhance urban and regional planning education and research in Asia. Representatives from 19 planning schools in Asia from Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Pakistan, People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam agreed to form the Asian Planing Schools Association to achieve these objectives. Prof. Sadao WATANABE, Emeritus Professor of the Department of Urban Engineering, University of Tokyo, was elected first President of the Association, Assoc. Prof. Lan Yuan LIM, Head of the School of Building and Estate Management, National University of Singapore, was been elected as the Vice-President, and Dr. Anthony G.O. YEH, Assistant Director of the Centre of Urban Planning and Environmental Management, University of Hong Kong, was elected as the Secretary-General.

Activities of the Association include the organization of biennial congresses and the publication of monographs and newsletter.

AESOP - Association of European Schools of Planning

AESOP is a network of universities and university departments that teach and conduct research within the field of urban and regional planning. The network exists to promote the development of the teaching curricula and research within the Member Schools through regular dialogue, exchange visits and the dissemination of research and best practice.

These aims are achieved through an Annual Congress where staff and students make presentations and discuss papers on European, national, regional and local spatial planning issues, as well as debates on planning curricula. A three-day Ph.D workshop precedes the Congress. The AESOP Newsletter provides information on the activities of member schools, reports of AESOP Working Groups and other issues.
