RICS, 12 Great George Street, Parliament Square
London SW1P 3AD

8:00am-9:30am

Join us the launch of the report Future Planners: Propositions for the next age of planning. (You can download an executive summary diagram of the report here.)

The event marks the culmination of a collaborative project by Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), English Partnerships and the Royal Town Planning Institute, which was led by Demos, Campaign to Protect Rural England and zero zero.

The future of our places has become increasingly central across the private, public and community sectors alike. Future Planners argues that, in dealing with changes to the built and natural environment, the planning professional can play a vital role in enabling democratically legitimate, sustainable development.

To make that happen, we should look carefully at the changes happening beyond planning – democratic, environmental and economic. As a response to these changes, the report offers propositions and positive ideas to support the emerging roles that planners are taking on.

The event starts at 8:00am on 6^th February at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Following a talk by Kate Barker, there will be a panel discussion chaired by Max Crofts, with the launch concluding by 9:30am.
