planning systems was presented by:

The general lessons learnt from the European countries were analyzed by
Prof. Vincent Renard, and the role of the licensed surveyors and
their possible response were discussed. Discussions of course also went on
during lunches and dinners presenting the best of the French cuisine.
I connection to the Congress there was a meeting of Francophone Group of
