Plan Your Planet

This 2002 publication produced by the Southern Branch (now incorporated into South East Region) of the RTPI was designed to assist teachers and schoolchildren in the understanding of sustainable development by linking personal choice with the development that results and the environmental impact that it has. The material can also help in the teaching of geography and citizenship. It includes information about the planning system and covers aspects of environmental education and sustainable development. For further information please contact the South East Region.

Planning Aid

As well as it's work providing free, independent and professional town planning advice and support to communities and individuals, Planning Aid often undertakes projects with an educational theme, working with groups of children as well as adults. This work can involve running educational projects or designing packs and work programmes for use in schools. Information on all events and resources is displayed by region on the education pages of the Planning Aid website.
