- Encouraging all in the planning profession to aspire to be Chartered Members of the RTPI as well as encouraging others to join us.
- Guiding members and employers to achieve a more diverse and inclusive profession through our 10-year action plan, CHANGE.
- Supporting our members in their professional development through first class training and networking opportunities.
- Influencing governments across the UK and Ireland on planning’s response to climate change and housing and infrastructure needs through our policy and research work
- Raising awareness of the essential role planners play in creating a resilient, sustainable and inclusive world that delivers on net-zero targets through our campaigns such as Plan The World We Need.
- Developing and strengthening the RTPI’s international links and reputation and positioning the Institute as global thought leaders.
