Abstract

What does it mean to be a ‘planner’ in the contemporary UK? The activity of what’s variously been labelled town and country, urban and regional, or spatial planning is now well established. Over 25,000 planners claim professional status through membership of the RTPI. Yet the profession is not static. The system has evolved over time. So has its organisational context and professional delivery. In recent years, driven by ideas of private sector efficiency and the budget cuts of austerity, local government services have been outsourced, delivered in partnership with the private sector, or changed by increasing pressures of commercialisation. And as planning has become more complex, it is ever more common for developers to employ planning consultants, or for specialist expertise to come from the private sector. Nearly half of all UK chartered planners now work in the private sector.
