Today, planners across the globe celebrate the 75th anniversary of World Town Planning Day. We’d like to mark the day by sharing appreciation for our loyal clients within local planning teams throughout the UK.
The profession is experiencing significant challenges in the face of proposed reforms, and for many the impact is already causing disruption to local plan-making activities. Yet planners continue to work incredibly hard to deliver for their communities while navigating demands on workload schedules and resources from such changes.
The focus of World Town Planning Day 2024 is on the role of planning and planners in delivering housing that meets the needs of our communities, and in helping to create equitable, inclusive, and sustainable solutions for all.
Effective planning is not just about infrastructure or regulations - it's about people. By bringing awareness to the importance of planning, this day encourages everyone to play a role in shaping the communities of tomorrow.
