RTPI Yorkshire Conference Series

21-May-12

Back to Yorkshire Region

The RTPI Yorkshire Conference Series is organised by RTPI Yorkshire in partnership with Leeds Metropolitan and Sheffield Hallam Universities to promote good planning practice and to provide a service to support its members and others in the built environment field. 

Next Event

Contingency Planning and Water Management. Ref 1206. Booking closes: 15 June.

Wednesday 20 June 2012, Leeds

How should planners respond to the vulnerability of the region to unwanted land, river and sea based water events?  Water resource allocation, the adequacy of our current coastal erosion and flood risk assessment procedures and the level of attention and resources that heavy precipitation events should be given in the future will be considered.
