I am delighted to announce that the website and twitter account for my new planning think tank, Planning Futures, are now live.
I set up Planning Futures, with my colleagues, Jeremy Newmark, and Cian Bryan, to help nurture a new conversation about planning in the UK.
Planning Futures is a cross-party organisation, with the sole purpose of bringing all planning stakeholders together to develop new ideas to improve our planning system.
In the early years of the 21st century, we are confronted with massive challenges in meeting our housing and infrastructure needs. In many cases, the planning process has proved an obstacle to efficient, effective and democratic decision making.
Planning Futures will host events and publish cutting-edge research aimed at finding new ways forward for planners, politicians and community groups as they seek to plan the future for our communities.
At Planning Futures we would like to hear from all planning stakeholders on the issues that matter most to them. Please do not hesitate to get in touch to discuss all planning related topics.
