Women in Planning : 'Shared Journeys and Coffee'
Background : Women-in-Planning at the WPC a 'first'
At this World Planning Congress in Doha, ISOCARP is holding in-person Women-in-Planning events, by and for women, for the first time in ISOCARP's history! The events are bringing together professional women in planning and placemaking from across the world, from different ages and diverse fields including practitioners, academics, public servants, government officials, young planning professionals, and students. The informal events act as a source for inspiration, exchange, learning and international leverage and offer a unique opportunity for meeting in-person, building support and networking friendships. The events on the 9th and 10th of November are jointly organised by ISOCARP and the Ministry of Municipalities and Environment of Qatar, and warmly supported by the women keynote speakers of the congress.
