Planning Summer School 2012 - Planning for legacy

This year Planning Summer School will take place at Liverpool Hope University, from 13-17 September 2012.

Under the theme Planning for legacy, the 2012 Planning Summer School has returned to its roots whilst reflecting the modern approach to planning together by offering a single 4-day residential school to be shared by Elected Members and Planning Practioners.

We hope that this format, together with the usual high quality line up of speakers and workshop leaders we expect, will prove to be an attractive, inspirational and fun event, building on the reputation of Planning Summer School as one of the highlight events of the year. 

Planning Summer School has provided a unique learning opportunity for almost 80 years. It has given thousands of elected members and planners a chance to increase their knowledge and understanding of best practice as well as current and emerging policy with fellow practitioners.  As a charity, Summer School aims to advance education in planning and offers assisted places, travelling scholarships and opportunities for planners from overseas to share their experiences and learn from the UK. 

Given the challenges, uncertainties and opportunities being posed by the emerging localism agenda there, has never been a better time to attend Summer School.  Our website gives more information on all aspects of our work including our charitable aims, booking information, and the latest details on the Liverpool 2012 programme and speakers.
