PROPOSE A SESSION

The Alberta Association Canadian Institute of Planners invites you to propose a session for the 2008 AACIP Conference in Banff that appeals to a new generation of city builders, urban and regional planners and community revitalization stakeholders. We invite the submission of presentation proposals from planners, architects, urban designers, environment related professionals and practitioners, students and any other professional individuals from the spectrum of disciplines that contribute to planning our communities. Submissions should address the challenges confronting the present and future of cities and regions in Alberta and display an original and critical perspective on recent developments, policies and practices.
