Planning Horizons Hungarian Editions and the “next50years” conference - Project brief

1. Overview The Planning Horizons series took an unique approach to look into future of planning profession by taking a “...step back from immediate policy concerns and offer a long term as well as well as global view of planning and the contribution it can make to some of the major challenges we face in the 21st Century.”. After the successful pilot – Thinking Spatially - Térben gondolkodva – we decided to translate the remaining 4 books to Hungarian and produce high quality Hungarian editions of the Planning Horizons series. The themes of Thinking Spatially seemed to be slowly penetrating into the thoughts of the Hungarian planning community and MUT has been actively promoting the publication. On the 10th of May 2016 on the Smart Cities mini conference series (episode 8) one of the volunteers, Mr SoókiTóth Gábor was invited to give a lecture on of spatial thinking and about making the best use of GIS. Unexpected, but very welcomed outcome of the pilot was that some new senior academia lecturer and senior planner who read the paper decided to sign up as a volunteer helping to translate the subsequent volumes. This gave a new momentum for the volunteer team and an improved flexibility in delegating tasks and text parts as well as the extra eyes for more rigorous proof reading and grammar- error checking. Peers suggested that “it deserves a conference session on its own right” where researchers other of fields would draw up a picture how Hungary would look like in 2050 and 2100 which would set a daily life context within planning shall perform in the future.

Project brief

The voluntary project aims to contribute to the international planning knowledge pool available to Hungarian planners and connect them to mainstream research made on planning’s future by translating and publishing online the RTPI’s Planning Horizons series in Hungarian. The expected outcome is that the online Hungarian editions will see numerous downloads and planners will be more familiar with future issues and global challenges beyond experience gathered in physical planning. Reflecting on peer reviews volunteers also acknowledged that producing extra, Hungary specific content is beyond their limitations but a conference connected to one of the e-book releases would help Hungarian audience to engage the main messages of the series. This event is the “next50years” conference.

Project Budget

Volunteers do work on pro bono basis including translating, proof-reading, graphic design and desktop publishing. RTPI and MUT have no cost to bear out with their own usual activities in promoting and publishing spatial planning researches.

2. The Hungarian Editions The Hungarian versions will keep the same design, layout and graphic elements as the English original apart from the reviewed Foreword/Introductions page. They will be made in ‘pdf’ format and will be published on websites of the MUT and the KÉK with allowance for other key institutions to mirror it to their own website and promote through social media channels for reaching a wider audience.

The “next50years” (“még50év”) conference

The published e-book the ‘Térben gondolkodva’ has an impact on the professional discussions in the planning community and revealed a real, existing interest towards the themes outlined in the subsequent papers. The follow up report revealed that economy, climate change and social justice is very much in the focus of the readers, however specifics related to the state of the future –otherHungary are needed to set the context for meaningful planning discussion and to grab the attention of the wider public. Findings of the Longterm socio-economic forecast for Hungary (Centre for Economic and Regional Studies, Hungarian Academy of Sciences; 2015) project published just before the launch of the Thinking Spatially show a country in 2050—2100 with ageing society, a population number going down by 1-2 million people, depopulated country sides and abandoned small villages, transformed land and agricultural uses, the existing built environment and ecosystems under pressure by climate, demographic and economic changes, brain and population-draining effect caused by the relative rise of secondary cities and their city regions. Volunteers and peers attended the panel discussion also identified some issues which never came up on any panel discussion, even though they shall be in the middle of any discussions regarding the future of planning. See APPENDIX 1 The format of the conference is a series of fast paced presentations (5-6 presenters and 10-15 minutes per presentation) in three main blocks to give a strong background context and to paint a 3

Planning Horizons Hungarian Editions and the “next50years” conference - Project brief picture about the realities of that other Hungary in 2050 and 2100. We call this event the “még50év – next50years” as it is looking into that time span. The conference has three main parts, similar to the structure of the Planning Horizons books: Intelligence, Institutions and People. See APPENDIX 2 High level support and participation News reported that in late May the PM David Cameron held a short meeting with President János Áder of Hungary. The 2 leaders discussed climate change and agreed to explore ways in which the international community can work together to build on the agreement. They also spoke about global water issues with both leaders keen to find solutions to international problems of supply and sanitation, with Hungary due to host a World Water Summit in 2016, November (https://goo.gl/oO74yf). It is worth to remember that the main mission of the Planning Horizons initiative is knowledge transfer and that is in the same time a British and a Hungarian soft power exercise for a common goal. Following the Brexit referendum it is likely that engaging with another European country in non-EU matters could be beneficiary for Britain to nurture existing professional as well as economic connections. Built on this momentum it is suggested to gain the patronage of Mr Iain Lindsay the British Ambassador as a representative of the UK and Mr János Áder the President of the Republic of Hungary. The project has already received a non-bidding support letter from Mr Csaba Kőrösi the Director for Environmental Sustainability at the Office of the President of the Hungarian Republic which might be a good stepping stone to attempt a successful approach. Timing seems to be alright, even more so as an informal consultation with the Directorates representative revealed that the Director regularly attends on events relevant integrated urban planning and sustainability. Additional event opportunities MUT suggested that it is possible to arrange additional programmes related to the e-book launches of the individual Planning Horizons books leading up to the “nedt50years” conference to raise the awareness towards the publications and help getting a higher number of readers for the books. However volunteers and the RTPI only focus on the main event which is ‘next100years’. The MUT and the KÉK encouraged to do additional programmes but required to acknowledge that RTPI is the sole copyright owner in every single occasion as well as to acknowledge the work of the volunteer group.

November 2016 November 2016 January 2017 February 2017

Volunteers do all effort to deliver translation on due time, however do to the nature of the project (e.g. members can only work in their free time) and the workload of the organisations involved some differences can be expected. Timing show the situation as it is known at the beginning of October 2016. 3.2.1 Project development phase To outline the tasks, deadlines and processes for all participants, volunteers held extensive meetings with representatives of the MUT (Mr. Ongjerth Richárd) and the KÉK (Mr. Szemerey Samu) on the 15th of July 2016. The idea of the “next50years” conference was developed by Láposi Roland and Zsigmond László and the storyboard was consulted with Mr Cliff Hague OBE and Mr Ongjerth Richárd (MUT) before finalising. 3.2.2 Translation and proofreading phase During the project two senior planner and senior academia member provide internal proof reading for the volunteer translators and the MUT provide a final proof reader before finalising the text which are going to be edited into the English desktop design version. 3.2.3 Publishing The DPD designer process starts when a whole text is finalised and can be edited into the layout provided by RTPI. Transfer of copyrights of the DPD materials is available only after Memorandum of Understandings are signed. All materials including DPD material, replacement photos and profile pictures have to be sent over before the design started to avoid unnecessary delays later. After delivering the layout RTPI as a sole copyright owner shall give green light on the appearance. Before publishing online any materials a final error check shall happen with special attention paid to references, misspellings and illustration qualities. A translator and someone with fresh eye shall prepare an error list which can be corrected. 3.2.4 Monitoring The monitoring session closes with a project review. The review concentrates to measuring outcomes and the effectiveness of the follow up media presence. To measure outcomes, understand penetration and assess performance the project will be monitored. Similar to the pilot project 4 months after the last e-book launch the project shall be evaluated by:   

using data on downloads and reads feedbacks on event and engagement through various channels and experience of project participants and co-hosts.

To analyse how agreed commitments were met and the efficiency of the cooperation between parties, by looking at the project management and time keeping issues. 6

Block 1 – intelligence – What is going to change and how? This block is about a longterm future scenario for Hungary in between 2050-2100. This is the Intelligence we have to work with when considering the future changes in the natural and built environment, the demography and urbanisation, climate change, water an energy use and the consequences for the society. We also need to know what people are thinking about changes as we, planners are also members of the society and we work with the people. For planning this intelligence is very much relevant.

Planning Horizons Hungarian Editions and the “next50years” conference - Project brief Block 3 – People – What planners think about future changes in Hungary? Block 3 is about what planners think about future challenges we are facing with and the need for new mentality, new approaches, and new skills to deal with them. It is important as understanding of members of the community of regarding the challenges will define to which direction the profession will take to evolve. The presenters invited will give their opinions about the consequences for planning of the hypothetical changes outlined in the research done by the Hungarian Academy of Science (MTA). They will explain whether the Hungarian planning traditions are capable to deal with them or changes are necessary – to get a common understanding on how to reshape planning. All presenters will have the same excerpt from the MTA research and will be asked to go through a series of general questions answered by everyone and one special tailor-made question asked individually. General Qs – (one question – five answer) – to be answered one-by-one in rounds      

What are biggest challenges - shocks for the society while adapting to the future changes? What are most concerning consequences for planning? What values and commitments shall planning have – what is more important? What can we keep from current practice and mentality? Shall planning go for more physical planning or more use and function based discretionary direction Can planning really adapt and implement SDGs and NUA, will there be conflicts?
