This year’s WTPD comes at an exciting time in CIP’s history. In July, CIP released its renewed Mission, Vision and Values as well as a new five-year strategic plan–1,835 Days of Impact – which provides a clear path forward for creating positive change.

As a member of the Global Planners Network (GPN), CIP was also a signatory of the Katowice Declaration 2022: Transforming our Cities for a Better Future, which sets out the commitment of the global planning community in addressing challenges posed by rapid urbanization, poverty and inequality, biodiversity loss, climate change, conflicts and natural disasters.
