The Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA) has published its Survey of the Built Environment Professions in the Commonwealth, which was undertaken jointly with colleagues from the Commonwealth Association of Planners, the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy and the Commonwealth Engineers Council.
The survey provides further evidence of the critical lack of capacity in many of the countries which are urbanising most rapidly together with a lack of educational capacity and a weakness in built environment policy; issues which are of particular concern to members of the Commonwealth as Commonwealth countries are predicted to account for nearly 50% of the projected increase in the world's urban population between now and 2050.
