How architects can contribute to International Development through knowledge sharing and empowering local architects
The purpose of this research is to respond to the following question: How can Canadian architects contribute to international sustainable development through knowledge sharing and empowering their international fellow practitioners?
The United Nations identifies building human capacity as an important requirement for achieving sustainable international development goals, including those set within its 2030 Agenda for people, planet and prosperity (UN, n.d.). On the other hand, Canada spends billions of dollars per year in international development aid. This research identifies ways to promote human capacity development through peer interactions within international development projects. Further, empowerment and knowledge sharing will improve the efficiency of such developments and ensure local professionals are able to sustain the project results long after the international team has left.
