Modern planning in Canada can be traced back to the early 1900s, though Indigenous planning, an evolving practice, originated hundreds if not thousands of years ago.[1] The planning profession originally focused on city layout, land subdivision and architecture and grew dramatically after 1945 due to the growth of Canadian cities. The profession now includes a diverse range of subjects such as urban sociology, data analysis and forecasting, municipal and planning law, management sciences and environmental sciences. According to the Canadian Institute of Planners, the profession has grown from only 45 practicing planners in 1949 to about 7,000 persons in 2009.[2] This page compiles some of Canada’s most notable planners according to their contribution to the profession.

| Noulan Cauchon | 1872 - 1935 | Engineering, Architecture | Noulan Cauchon was an engineer, town planner and architect born in Quebec City. Cauchon influenced the early development of the planning profession in Canada with his ideas of the City Scientific approach.[5] This approach, influenced by his background in engineering, contrasted the popular City Beautiful movement at the time. The City Scientific approach to planning has largely dominated in the Canadian profession since 1918. Cauchon is known as a founder of the Town Planning Institute of Canada and the Ottawa Town Planning Commission. He was a strong ally of Thomas Adams during his campaign to extend town planning across the country.[6] | |
