The planning system has a vital role to play in the development of the places we live, work and enjoy. Particularly at this time of uncertainty, planner
s and the planning system are well placed to support the recovery by encouraging a positive, collaborative, and integrated approach.
At this critical stage in the recovery, we need a strong, proactive and plan-led system to help communities and businesses navigate through uncertain times and to direct economic stimulus measures towards place-based interventions, which deliver multiple benefits.

We would like to thank members of the RTPI Northern Ireland Policy and Research Forum, who contributed ideas to this paper.
