关于国际城市与区域规划师学会——About ISOCARPISOCARP is a global association of experienced professional planners. It was founded in 1965 in a bid to bring together recognised and highly qualified planners in an international network. The ISOCARP network consists of both individual and institutional members of more than 70 countries all over the world. ISOCARP is a non-governmental organisation recognized by the UN, UNCHS and the Council of Europe and has a formal consultative status with UNESCO. The objectives of ISOCARP include the improvement of planning practice through the creation of a global and active network of planners. ISOCARP encourages the exchange between planners, promotes the profession in all aspects, stimulates research, improves education and training, increases information and awareness on major planning issues. City and Regional Planners act in spatial processes and are consultants to key decision-makers. Their task is to propose or support spatial interventions and plans on behalf of the society in general or specific actors. Planners combine knowledge, science, design and strategy and are used to work in joint ventures and multi-disciplinary teams. The association’s main event is the annual congress, which focuses on an international planning theme. The congress takes place in a different country every year, preferably on a different continent. ISOCARP also organises smaller scale seminars and publishes reports and other professional documents. It is represented at major international planning events.
