Habitat
One in every ten people lived in urban areas a century ago. Now, for the first time ever, most people live in cities. By 2050, the United Nations projects, almost three-quarters of the world’s population will call urban areas home. The majority of this growth is centered in struggling, developing countries of the Global South, but cities in developed (or Global North) countries face increasingly complex challenges as well.

The Continuous Professional Development (CPD) committee is a subcommittee of the Education committee at GIfA. While Education committee focuses on matters of students and candidates training up to full registration, CPD committee focuses on the continuous professional development of registered persons. In terms of the Architectural Profession Act 2000 (Act 44 of 2000) all persons who are registered in a professional category, are required to undertake CPD over a 5-year cycle, in order to renew their registration. Registered persons are reminded that ‘the renewal date is determined by the year of current registration of the Registered Professional. CPD renewal must always take place on 1 January of the year indicated below, irrespective of the month of registration’ (www.sacapsa.com/services/continuing-professional-development ).
