October Events
Transport and Development Conference
How can we deliver better transport systems and solutions at a time when major budgets are being cut and radically re-prioritised? This and other key questions will be the subject of the RTPI’s annual transport and development conference this year. Cutting to the heart of this issue for developers, landowners, planners and politicians, how can we achieve better quality places with less resource? From strategic questions to site specific examples this conference is designed to challenge, provoke and use the combined intelligence in the room to generate some real answers If you attend it’s not just about networking and learning from each other. It will be fast, punchy and aim to push the boundaries. A key output will be a think-tank report to the RTPI about ‘what next?’

Why you should attend this conference
If you are concerned about delivery of transport solutions – and are having to rethink how you do this – then this conference is for you. Whether your agenda is securing planning permission for a financially viable scheme, or trying to reduce car use but on very limited budgets – now is the time for coming together and thinking differently. There are new ways of ‘doing transport’ ranging from ‘smarter travel’ solutions through to better use on non-transport funding streams to bring about change. This conference goes to theheart of the issue – ways to achieve a lot more with a lot less resource to enable and manage development. We still strive for high quality places to live, work, socialise, play and to connect with the natural environment – but without a lengthy and difficult shopping list of development requirements. If you think you can be part of the solution this conference is for you. Whilst there will be key speakers, the structure of conference will be different this year. It’s going to be powerhouse of ideas, thinking, engagement and best practice. So, interspersed between thought-provoking presentations, we’ll be asking delegates to contribute through structured facilitation sessions.
