Purpose

Our environment has a direct impact on how our society works and planners have a direct input into how it is shaped. How they interact with others – as individuals, as employees, as decision-makers, as influencers and as community members – is paramount in developing mutual understanding and agreement of the planning decisions that are taken.

Benefits

The 2003 Egan Review, Skills for Sustainable Communities clearly identified that to create sustainable communities, you as a planner, and other professionals, need to play a leading role in delivering them and to communicating about them.

Audience

Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.

Learning method

A knowledge builder covering an increasingly important skill for planners. Additionally a comprehensive range of further reading is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
