International City Planners Network (ICPN)

http://www.city-planners-network.org/



Founded in 2004, the goal of the International City Planners Network (ICPN) is to "help practicing planners develop and implement creative solutions to real-world planning problems by facilitating contacts with planners throughout the world". However, the Network welcomes all types of planners and people interested in planning, including urban designers, architects, landscape architects, social service planners, open space planners, economic development planners, environmental planners, infrastructure and transportation planners. From its home page onwards, the Network's sense of friendliness successfully pervades its website, with the display of a random member's photograph on the front page adding a personal touch. Once inside, visitors can use the 'Find a Planner' function, view a series of sections designed to help travelling planners learn more about specific featured cities (currently Paris, San Francsico, Vienna and Zurich) or browse a list of upcoming conferences. The home page also includes an excellent list of links to planning-related organisations and journals. [GAS, 8 Jul 2006].

Landscape & Arts Network

http://www.landartnet.org/



Landscape & Arts Network is "a UK based network with international connections, promoting interdiciplinary communication and collaboration for arts in the environment". A registered charity with a trading arm, L&AN champions what it describes as "creative solutions to urban and rural environmental issues through visual and performing arts, consultancy, education, events and publishing". The site features information about the Network, membership and activities, plus articles from its newsletter, a gallery, and links to members' sites. An excellent list of other art and landscape related sites is also provided. Benefiting from a recent redesign, the site provides a fascinating insight into environmental art, and a valuable resource for its members. [GAS, 11 Sep 2006].
