In February 2010, RTPI Cymru and the RTPI's PERN supported by the Welsh Assembly Government organised a seminar to discuss the delivery of the planning research agenda in Wales. Chaired by RTPI Cymru's Policy and Research Forum Chair, Owain Wyn, 60 researchers and practitioners came together to hear about the Wales' situation and listen to case studies of current and recent research taking place across the UK.
Completing the day was a response by Chris Webster, Head of the School of City and Regional Planning at Cardiff University and a discussion around how to keep the debate going. Watch this space for developments to take this forward.
