Conference Report UK-Ireland Planning Research Conference 2016

摘要

The UK-Ireland Planning Research Conference is an annual event that showcases cutting-edge planning research and provides an opportunity for academics and practitioners to explore current and future issues faced by the field. The 2016 conference was hosted by Cardiff University on 6 and 7 September to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the university's School of Geography and Planning. The theme of the conference was Planning for Future Generations - a theme chosen to reflect the key priorities of the pioneering Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. The Act seeks to improve the social, cultural and economic well-being of Welsh citizens, and in doing so reinforces many of the principles upheld by the planning profession, including collaborative working, sustainability and community engagement.
