RTPI Planning Convention 2012

Supported by headline sponsor Bircham Dyson Bell, the Planning Convention's innovative one day format was a sell out and brought together big picture plenaries and special interest sessions, focusing on RTPI members' professional training and development needs.

Leading speakers tackled some of the most difficult and pressing issues facing planners, including the new planning agenda in England, cities in the UK, national infrastructure planning and RTPI's new Map for England.
