How do we tell stories about the built environment sector? Find out at the National Planning Conference

by on October 24, 2023

Join us at the National Planning Conference for an exclusive discussion on the public narrative around the planning sector, considering how we as an industry can communicate key messaging to different audiences.

The session, entitled ‘How storytelling can increase engagement, counter misinformation and raise the status of planning’, will be chaired by Simon Wicks of The Planner, who will also be joined by Simon Creer of the RTPI

You can read a short synopsis of the session below: 

Planning is at a reputational crossroads: publicly maligned and misunderstood, subject to misrepresentation and misinformation, it needs to find new ways to assert its public benefits. In this session, we’ll show how by employing storytelling and focusing on the relatable tales that underpin planning, its practitioners can win over sceptics and make a powerful case for planning as an indispensable public good.  

It’s set to be a dynamic and interesting discussion, valuable for everyone that works within our industries.
