How planning education can contribute to fostering the legitimacy of planning and the planning profession in challenging and often fractious times.
How planning education can become more inclusive, both as regards the substantive themes it addresses and the opportunities it provides to learners to become future planners.
The proposition to be explored is that these two themes are interlinked and strongly co-dependent and that striving to make planning education more inclusive is fundamental to renewing planning’s legitimacy.
NB – we have had strong 'buy in' to these themes from partners such as Liverpool City Council and the Royal Town Planning Institute.
