Commonwealth Association of Planners
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Commonwealth Association of Planners, abbreviated to CAP, was formed provisionally on 23 September 1970, and its constitution ratified in March, 1973, to, among other things;
- "promote co-operation between member organizations and between individuals in the commonwealth, in order to achieve the most effective contribution by planners to the wellbeing of society, and the creation of a satisfactory environment."[1]
The association produces newsletters three times a year, and holds conferences for planning theorists and practitioners. CAP was led by Heriot-Watt professor Cliff Hague from 2000-2006, under whom the association played a significant role in developing New urban planning in response to the rapid urbanization and increased slum settlements in cities across the globe.
CAP is now led by president Christine Platt.[2]
