Planning for a Better Urban Future
Summary
The Global Planners Network commits to working collaboratively across the professional planning organisations globally to enable and empower communities to engage in planning for a better urban future through transforming our cities and regions. Successful capacity building would lead to significant uplift in voluntary local reporting. This there would be increased community engagement with strategic and local plans. As the planning profession develops our network will expand supporting capacity in areas most needed. The impact of this can be observed through learning and knowledge sharing. Furthermore, we will continue to influence legislation in our respective jurisdictions to ensure communities are sufficiently engaged with the planning process.
