Perspectives on the challenges and opportunities of planning research.
One the main objectives of the 2019-21 RTPI Research Programme is to address the needs of the various stakeholders involved in advancing knowledge or enhancing the design and implementation of planning research. Underlying the view that our own research ought to speak to a variety of audiences and that planning research in general ought to be both inclusive and relevant to multiple actors, is the objective to strengthen a three way collaboration between planning professionals, academics and policy-makers. In other words –one of our main objectives is to reinstate the Praxis at the heart of planning research and to link it back to both policy-making and theoretical concerns.
