The articl.es are also a testament to the quality and diversity of planning practice across our country.

CIP's membership responded by packing the Ottawa Congress Centre, selling out almost every workshop and tour.Item Cities in civilization: Culture, innovation, and urban order(Canadian Institute of Planners, 2001) Hall, PeterWhy should great cities suddenly become creative?
