What is GPEAN
Promoted by of APSA, AESOP, ACSP and ANSAPS, the first World Planning Schools Congress was held in Tongji University in July, 2001. And there were nearly 1000 officials, scholars of urban planning, educators, students and practitioners gathered making a deep discuss on the common achievements in urban planning and construction, communicating actively on working experience, as well as referring to practical experience of the other countries, cities and research partners. Therefore it made a full success.
GPEAN is administered by the GPEAN Governing Council, which consists of representatives of the 11 member associations and the UN-Habitat Liaison. In addition to the Governing Council, GPEAN has a Congress Steering Committee that provides support and guidance to the local organisers of the World Planning Schools Congress.
