Bartlett Virtual School Visit: What is Urban Planning?

• What is urban planning and who is a planner?
• Why is your home located where it is?
• Why are your local shops and businesses located in another area?
• How did someone decide where your street would go?
• Can you easily walk to a bus or train to get to school or college?

These questions are what planners think about and are at the heart of planning as a profession. The goal of planning is to maximise the health, safety, and economic and social well-being of residents within the community.

The Urban Planning taster lecture, for students considering undergradaute study, will be streamed live through Zoom. Please ensure you download Zoom and create an account prior to the event.
