Abstract
This paper is a further development of presentations made to the fourth congress of the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP) in 1990, and to the joint congress of AESOP and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning in 1991. The author advances a proposal to facilitate international academic experiences for students, faculty, and researchers in planning. The focus is an information system which will include relevant and comparable data, from a single source, on planning education programs worldwide. In its final form, the system will make available to anyone interested these data, in whole or in any part, in computerized or hard-copy format.
The introductory section has a few indicators of the recent trends and current magnitude of international student exchange in all academic fields. In the absence of comprehensive data on the international exchange of planning students, these indicators will suggest the future significance of international activities in planning education.
