As we noted here, the International Academic Association for Planning Law and Property Rights, 8th Annual Conference 2014 will take place in Haifa, Israel, February 11-14, 2014. Earlier this year, we attended PLPR when it visited Portland, and it was well worth going, so the 2014 conference should be similar.

Professor Rachelle Alterman, Chair of the 2014 conference forwards this reminder:

This is a reminder that the deadline for abstract submissions for PLPR 2014 is15 October 2013. Click here for the website, here for the call for papers and here to submit your abstract now.

We are happy to announce that our opening reception will take place on 12 February and will be hosted by the Mayor of Haifa, in the historic City Hall in the Hadar mid-town area.  In addition, we will have a special pre-dinner reception on 13 February, hosted by the Bahai World Center (click here for more on the Bahai Gardens in Haifa).

Please note that we have added a new workshop to our list of optional pre-conference workshops: Workshop 5 on National Land Ownership and housing policy.
