The East of England Young Planners’ Committee is thrilled to host this year’s Young Planners’ Conference 2024 in Cambridge.
Michael Gove’s bold vision for Cambridge 2040, aims to build 250,000 homes forecasting significant population and economic growth in Cambridge. Additionally, Cambridge is known for its science and technology sectors, education provision and the Green Belt. All in all, providing a highly diverse mix of uses within the town and its surroundings.
The theme ‘Connecting Town and Country’ aims to explore this complex dynamic and intersection of balancing such growth versus resources, which will be addressed through our speaker panels, breakout sessions and study tours centring on the following:
- Planning and the delivery of housing
- Innovation, connectivity, and natural resources
- Historic and natural environments
- Transport and infrastructure requirements
Whilst the conference will focus on lessons learned from the Cambridge context, Young Planners will be able to take away lessons for their relevant contexts, as the sessions covered will be topical for the wider UK and in some instances, internationally.
The conference is an event highlight in the RTPI’s calendar and aims to attract up to 250 planning professionals defined as Young Planners. The delegates are in the first ten years of their planning career and come from across the UK. The conference is always a positive and enriching experience for delegates and participants alike and significantly contributes to the career development of Young Planners. Throughout the two-day event, delegates will have the opportunity to hear from a wide range of quality speakers from across the public and private sectors, participate in interactive breakout sessions and exchange ideas.
