The Commonwealth Association of Architects is pleased to launch a pilot programme of lectures for built environment professionals, the aim of which is to facilitate knowledge exchange between member organisations and member firms, to help promote mutual understanding and greater awareness of issues related to climate change and rapid urbanisation together with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

While targeted at qualified built environment professionals, it is hoped that this series will be of interest to policymakers, city leaders and students alike.

As the world embarks upon a Decade of Action in which to achieve the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the Commonwealth Association of Architects has recognised an opportunity to provide mutual support by means of a structured programme of knowledge exchange in the form of a pilot CPD series and, with nearly 50% of the projected increase in the world’s urban population to 2050 forecast to be in the Commonwealth, architects and built environment professionals have a critical role to play in helping to achieve a more sustainable future for all.

This webinar is the third lecture in the series and will be delivered by Alfredo Caraballo, Director at Allies & Morrison. Well-managed cities recognise the need to plan properly for growth. In many cases this will result in the development of planned city extensions. In this lecture, Alfredo describes the master-planning process associated with the design of one such project in Muscat, Oman; a project which aims to set new standards in terms of sustainability and design while providing a catalyst for change in the Sultanate.
