About the RTPI

At the Royal Town Planning Institute (the RTPI), we champion the value of planning in building thriving places and communities.

Who we are

For over a century, we have empowered planners to deliver positive impact: creating healthy, inclusive, economically and environmentally sustainable places. 

Governance

We actively involve all members in our corporate governance. From our AGM, which is open to all members, through to our specialist committees, our open and transparent governance structure places members at the heart of our decision making process.

Annual report

In 2024 planning took centre stage amid a busy political year – and we’re proud to say that RTPI members and colleagues rose to meet the challenges of the moment.
