Who gets to decide what gets built, what gets protected and whose voices are heard?

Planning is where some of the biggest questions facing the built environment become real: what gets built, what gets protected, who gets heard, what is prioritised, and how decisions are made in the public interest.

Join Rachel Fisher (Chief Executive of the Royal Town Planning Institute), joins Eleanor Jolliffe for an informal, candid conversation that goes beyond the usual policy headlines, with an opportunity to ask questions and hear directly from one of the profession’s leading voices.

Expect an evening about complexity, clarity, responsibility and the art of planning, with space for humour, honesty and the occasional confession.
