Great day at the RTPI Scottish Young Planners Conference!

Thanks to all at SYPN and RTPI Scotland for organising a really informative and thought provoking event. It was a real pleasure to present to so many positive and enthusiastic young planners. The future’s bright…

What a day! Full of ideas and conversations about planning and the things that planners can do to change the world. More than 180 young planners bringing enough enthusiasm to light up the sun.
