PLANNING FOR DYNAMIC FUTURESFebruary 3-5, 2011 at University of Waterloo www.caps-aceau.org

Greetings From CAPS-ACAU 2011Students at the University of Waterloos School of Planning are proud to host for the first time ever, the CAPS-ACAU annual conference. The 2011 conference offers a venue for collaboration and discussion around the theme, Resilience: Planning for Dynamic Futures. Topics such as increased and intensified energy shortages, population imbalances, environmental degradation, climate change and income gaps will be tabled. In a time where the local is global and experts may either choose to ignore or befriend wikis, we seek to explore the complex systems were part of through the lens of resilience.

The Canadian Association of Planning Students LAssociation Canadienne LAssociation Canadie des tudiants en Amnagement et en Urbanisme (CAPS-ACAU) is a nonprofit en Amnage student-driven organization that hosts an annual conference for Canadian planning students. The event brings together planning students from across the country to expand their knowledge and to engage in discussions about urban and rural planning issues both in Canada and internationally. The conference offers delegates the opportunity to collaborate with their peers, professionals and academics, from across Canada, to explore progressive solutions to todays most pressing planning challenges. Students may also present their own research, meet potential employers and learn about exciting jobs and research opportunities in their field. We are thrilled to feature a number of high-caliber speakers, insightful mobile tours, hands-on skill-building workshops, as well as student oral, model and poster presentations. Through World Caf roundtable discussions a 2011 CAPSACAU Waterloo Manifesto will be drafted capturing the conferences collective view of resilient planning. This will be published in Canadas national environmental magazine, Alternatives Journal, among others. This conference would not be possible without the generous support and commitment of our 2011 sponsors. Their professional and financial contributions speak to their dedication to the development and progression of the Canadian planning practice. Please take the time to introduce yourself to them. We are all looking forward to the discussions over the next few days, and to welcoming participants who have travelled from across Canada and beyond to be here. It should prove to be an extremely rewarding and inspiring experience for everyone, with impacts carried well beyond the conference through the knowledge and connections that will be formed.

Waterloo ManifestoResilience: 1. (Of a substance etc.) recoiling; springing back; resuming its original shape after bending, stretching, compression, etc. 2. (Of a person) readily recovering from a shock, depression etc. -The Canadian Oxford Dictionary, 2001

The 2010 CAPS-ACAU conference in Guelph tabled discussion on Progressive Planning. In 2011, CAPS-ACAU in Waterloo will explore the meaning, relevence, and challenges of incorporating resilience as planning progresses towards building sustainable communities. The Waterloo Manifesto, a document that seeks to Association Canadian present a collective perspective on resilience in the future of planning, will adLAssociation Canadie dress such questions as: en AmnageWhy build resilient communities? What future shocks and stresses do we need to consider in our attempt to embed resilience in our cities and neighbourhoods? What planning strategies and techniques will increase the capacity for resilience in our cities? What are the challenges to creating resilient communities?
