How can planners help create the world we need post-COVID-19?
We are calling on governments across the UK and Ireland to capitalise on the expertise of planners to achieve a sustainable, resilient and inclusive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our Plan The World We Need campaign aims to raise awareness of the vital role planners have in every aspect of the recovery in order to revive the economy, tackle inequality and meet net-zero targets by 2050.
Please support our vision and share the campaign #PlanTheWorldWeNeed
