Survey of the Built Environment Professions in the Commonwealth, Survey Results

Published on Jul 8, 2020

Commonwealth Association of Architects

Climate change and rapid urbanisation are among the most serious challenges facing the Commonwealth; challenges which have now been compounded by the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic. UN Habitat estimates that 65% of the targets underlying the 17 Sustainable Development Goals are linked to territorial and urban development, and built environment professionals are central to the design of cities and human settlements that achieve the requirements of Goal 11 to be ‘inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable’. With nearly 50% of the projected increase in the worlds urban population to 2050 taking place in the Commonwealth, how well equipped are the built environment professions to meet this challenge? This is the question which the four Commonwealth associations representing architects, engineers, town planners and surveyors have set out to answer in the Survey of the Built Environment Professions in the Commonwealth; the first such joint survey ever to have been undertaken.
