RTPI West Midlands
RTPI West Midlands promotes planning as a profession and builds links with other built environment professions and organisations throughout the West Midlands.
We offer members a programme of affordable seminars and events to assist with their continuing professional development requirements, and also publish a regular newsletter for members.
More than 1,500 planners from central, regional and local government, private consultancies, the education sector and other organisations are members of RTPI West Midlands. We welcome the views and opinions of all our members, and we are always looking for volunteers to help with running our programmes.
