A community of practice of planners (COPP) was identified as an important starting point to help guide tailored solutions for the planning profession that were identified in the first stage of the research What makes inclusive communities? Meanings, tensions, change needed. 

A Community of Practice of Planners (COPP) will help progress tailored solutions for the planning profession. This discussion paper is practice-oriented, and its purpose is to:

• lead the planning profession in a discussion on disability inclusion and equity,
• build awareness on how our planning profession can contribute positively and supports disability inclusion and equity and everyone more widely, and
• build capacity and empower practitioners by offering a resource and actions by planners to help improve planning for disability equity and inclusion.
