How to Become a Member

Since the Global Planning Education Association Network (GPEAN) is a network of associations of university level programs and schools in urban and regional planning, only national or multi-national associations can become a member.

Membership is available to national or multi-national associations of planning programs and schools that meet the following criteria:

  • Programs and Schools of the Association operate university level planning programs
  • The Association has been in existence for 4 years or more
  • The Association has active mechanisms for exchange and contact, for example:
    • Regular  meetings or congress
    • Journal or other publication route for papers
    • Website
    • Convener or executive structure with contact details
    • Active communication amongst the membership

Associations wishing to join GPEAN must have the support of two sponsors who are current Members, and must make application using established procedures. The decision to admit new Members will require a two-thirds vote of the existing Members confirming consistency with the criteria above.

For more information on membership applications, please contact the GPEAN Chair.
