7 February 2008

2008 Awards are now open for entries!
Entry deadline: 31 March 2008

Planning plays a vital role in the environmental, social and economic quality of life of the British Isles. Used positively and creatively, planning produces and protects places of outstanding quality and brings lasting benefits for all those who live in them. Its practitioners can and should be proud of their contribution to these outcomes and the processes that lead to them.

Every year since 1978, the Royal Town Planning Institute's Awards for outstanding group achievement in town and country planning have celebrated the planning profession's contribution to the quality of life throughout the British Isles and Ireland. The Awards recognise the diversity of planning achievement, whether in urban or rural areas, whether large or small in scale, whether involving new development or regeneration, and whether promoted by the public, private or community sectors.

The Awards look beyond purely physical outcomes to recognise innovative plans, processes, techniques, information systems, programmes of community involvement and improvements to public services.
