Transport Planning Day – 20 November 2019

Transport Planning Day will be held on 20 November at the Institution of Civil Engineers in London.

The event will highlight the vital role that transport planners play in improving quality of life. It will bring together communities, local politicians and professionals, from across the built environment sector to discuss best practice in community engagement in transport planning.

We will also announce the winner of our People’s Award, which showcases best practice in community engagement in transport planning, from the community’s perspective.

The event will also highlight best practice in bringing transport and land-use planning together, including our work with the Transport for New Homes project to develop new awards focusing on the importance of sustainable transport for housing developments.
