RTPI International committee

The RTPI International Committee links all areas of Institute activity to planning outside the British Isles. It guides and shapes the Institute’s relations with planning organisations in other countries as well as international planning organisations, and it develops and strengthens the Institute’s international links and reputation.  Click here for its Terms of Reference.

In 2009 the Committee advised on international aspects of the Institute's Corporate Plan, resulting in a detailed paper setting out goals in advocacy, capacity-building and networking, identifying ways for the Institute to contribute to policy work on sustainable development whether in the UK (e.g. with DfID), regionally (CAP, ECTP-CEU) and internationally (GPN, UN-HABITAT, Habitat Professionals Forum, IFHP, ISoCaRP and INTA).
