Sustainable Urbanisation Programme of events – please attend and share.
The Commonwealth Association of Architects, the Association of Commonwealth Universities the Commonwealth Association of Planners, the Commonwealth Local Government Forum, with support from The Prince’s Foundation, the Commonwealth Engineers Council, and the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy have been working together with a range of partners to curate an online programme on sustainable urbanisation in the Commonwealth.
The programme which runs until 02 September 2020 sets out to:
- Build on the momentum which has already been developed in response to the need for sustainable urbanisation in the Commonwealth.
- Inform and strengthen a call to action on sustainable urbanisation in the Commonwealth through exchange of ideas and good practice.
- In the face of the after effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, to advocate for the centrality of SDG 11 in reviewing the targets and achievements of the Sustainable Development Goals.
- Promote interdisciplinary, cross-sector collaboration and engagement to address the challenges and unlock the opportunities presented by sustainable urbanisation across the Commonwealth.
Cross cutting themes to be addressed in the Programme are Covid-19, climate change, gender inclusion and youth.
The Programme was launched on 24 June by HRH The Prince of Wales. This was immediately followed by a presentation and expert panel discussion on a “Survey of Built Environment Professions in the Commonwealth”. The survey looks at the numbers of built environment professionals across the Commonwealth, the rates of urbanisation and the capacity to assist cities and communities achieve the SDG’s.
