2019 marks several significant built environment sector centenaries. In 1919 the world's most famous "school of building", the Bauhaus, opened its doors, as did the University College of Estate Management, and the Canadian Institute of Planners. Providing thought-leadership and representation to over 7,000 members practicing in one of the fastest-changing environments worldwide, the latter is marking their centenary with a year-long schedule of activities both on and offline, and encompassing many of the most critical issues, both environmental and social, of our time, of which the highlight is its annual conference. Themed 'Generation', and featuring 100+ speakers, 60 sessions, 8 workshops, and 14 learning tours, the conference will take place in the first week of July at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa, which is located on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation, and the home of the inaugural meeting of CIP's antecedent organisation [the Town Planning Institute of Canada]. I'm delighted to be joining Anishinaabe, Adjunct Professor, Academic Advisor, and Executive Director of the Yellowhead Institute, Hayden King, as a keynote at the conference. An event that will bring together a truly diverse community of researchers and practitioners from across all facets of planning and its affiliated fields, Generation looks set to be one of the most dynamic and thought-provoking events in the 2019 built environment calendar. With places limited to just 800, those interested are recommended to register early to avoid disappointment.
