Spending a Day with the Leading Lights

Extract:

The Planning Aid for Scotland (PAS) 2011 conference brings together some of the most influential figures in Scotland from the fields of planning, architecture, waste, health, housing, regeneration and the environment to examine the leadership role of the planning system. This is a rare event bringing together a truly multi-disciplinary selection of professionals representing all aspects of Scotland’s built environment.

At this unique one-day conference, PAS invites you to participate in a debate that will ultimately affect each and every one of us in Scotland’s built environment. How can planning take on a greater role in creating better places? And how can we ensure greater public participation in making and improving our places? Are the different professions talking and listening to each other? How can the media help us to engage more positively with planning our environment?

The Leadership Role of Planning conference will provide not only the forum for debate – but crucially, it will investigate the practical steps necessary to make change happen.

This is the event of 2011 for all those who work to shape Scotland’s towns and cities.

You...

... are a planner, architect or urban designer who wants to realise your profession’s potential to deliver change

... work in waste management, wondering how planning can deliver improvement for our health and physical environment

... work in health or housing and want to know how planning can benefit your work

... are passionate about shaping and improving your local community

... or perhaps you are simply interested in how your town or city is changing...
