The RIBA (UK) has a relatively large number of regional chapters to support its sizable membership both within the UK and overseas. The RAIA (Australia) and the NZIA (New Zealand) both have a relatively large number of regional chapters for reasons of geography and climate. RAIA members are supported by an international chapter which reflects the fact that many more Australian architects are now working around the world. 7.1.3 MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS AND GROWTH RATES 2014-1016 INCLUSIVE Region

While membership growth has been positive for all but one of the institutes, this has not kept pace with growth in the number of registered architects (see Figure 14) in Australia, Cyprus, Pakistan and the UK.
