Annabel reflects on the RTPI Young Planners’ Conference: “It was a pleasure to Chair the Conference last week, connecting with so many enthusiastic minds in the profession and considering the theme of Utopia or Dystopia. This is incredibly relevant working for a master developer, as when supporting clients in delivering new communities, we must be mindful of the way our profession shapes the world and making a genuinely positive impact.”
