Educating Professionals for the Built Environment: the Challenge of the 1990s
For the built environment the challenge of the 1990s is already with us: for much of the decade the policies are in place, the plans are formulated, the landscapes are being developed, the buildings are designed, their interiors are sketched out and in many cases their construction has already started. All new student intakes will graduate in the 1990s. Infrastructure decisions are committing us well into the next century. So in many respects the educational challenge is to meet the forces of the new century, not the 1990s. These forces include internationalization of the economy, technological change, cultural diversification, restructuring of the property industry, changes to the professions, and a shake up in higher education both institutionally and pedagogically. In all these chal-lenges there is cause for optimism, but only if higher education can respond and in some areas lead these changes. This is especially true of professional education for the built environment.
