Why planning?
Cities and regions are like small miracles. Planners create and implement plans to decide how cities and regions should grow and change in the future.
Planners play an important role in helping to improve people’s lives and creating a better and more sustainable future.
Planners are creative problem-solvers who work on:
- tackling climate change
- protecting biodiversity
- better transport
- housing affordability
- social inclusion
- economic development
- population growth
- providing places for sport and recreation
Planners also make sure development is fair and balanced, improving people’s lives, and creating a better and more sustainable future for all.
Planning is the process through which people, businesses and government come together to protect, grow and shape their cities, towns and regions. Cities and neighbourhoods are constantly changing and evolving. Planning is how we guide this change to create great communities and places in which we can live, work and play.
