ideasSPACE with Wei Yang, 2021 President of the RTPI
“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable” Dwight D. Eisenhower |
Designing our towns, settlements and cities to provide a canvas for healthy lives lies at the heart of good urban design and planning. Covid has brought keenly into focus the affect places have on both our physical and mental heath. In the UK we are currently considering major reforms to the planning system, pushing for more beauty in development along with regional urban equality. It's a good time to talk to Wei Yang about the future of planning, how it can remain relevant and drive innovation in facing the combined challenges of climate change, the loss of biodiversity and social inequality. |
