The RTPI promotes research into planning practice, theory and education. We work with researchers and other partners in the UK and internationally to develop projects and disseminate research findings. We aim to:

• Promote the funding and dissemination of research activity informing and evaluating planning policy and practice;
• Promote the awareness and engagement of planning practitioners in planning research at local, national and international scales;
• Encourage interdisciplinary and intersectoral research and dialogue;
• Support research in planning education and lifelong learning.

Our research priorities take forward the themes of the RTPI New Vision in the form of the following cross-cutting issues:

• spatial planning in practice;
• evaluating the outcomes of spatial planning;
• planning for healthy ecosystems;
• inclusive decision–making; and
• developing the skills and knowledge base
