Library Search & Services
The RTPI Library and Information Service
The library collection includes books and journals on a broad range of planning-related topics including practice and theory. All RTPI publications are indexed in the library catalogue. You can search our library catalogue online at any time.
Enquiry service
The library operates an enquiry service and can offer advice on sources of planning information as required. If you have an enquiry, please contact the LIS Manager at library@rtpi.org.uk or telephone 020 7929 9452. To avoid disappoinment, please note that access and specialist information advice is arranged by appointment only. A minimum of 48 hours notice is usually required.
Planning Magazine Articles
We hold an archive of articles from Planning magazine for the years 1914 - 2003, which you can search online. For articles published since 2004 please visit www.planningresource.co.uk.


Be sure to make an appointment before visiting the library. Book at least a few days in advance.
