Our very own @sepidesoltani demonstrated excellent written communication skills as a glamorous assistant in @collarbrodies workshop on communication.

‘Communication is not an end in and of itself. Why are you communicating?’

And we’re off!

Delighted to hear from @JoeFitzSNP on the contributions that young planners and future planners will make in tackling the climate and nature crises; and places of the future.

Building on his advice from last years conference, we need to be bold

@GavinBarwell There certainly is plenty for Planners to learn from elsewhere, but I do think that this tweet misses the huge challenges we face in getting representatives and communities to accept higher density development.

Planning officers assess proposals, we don’t submit them.

I’m more than a little biased, but a great opportunity to work on some exciting energy and infrastructure projects in the North East! Closes 24/05

@RTPIScotland @sepidesoltani @ConvenorRTPIS @kirstymacari @ThePlanner_RTPI @RTPIPlanners @VictoriaRTPI Team RTPI deserves a massive thanks! As always they’ve supported and guided the Steering Group through another conference

[James Hewitt @jlrh90]

@IreneBeautyman talks Shaping Places for Wellbeing. A fascinating reflection on the purpose of planning (past and present).

Does the purpose planning tell us anything about what we value as a society?

#SYPC23

[James Hewitt @jlrh90]

A familiar sight for those from Aberdeen! Dawn McDowell of @HistEnvScot is exploring what is our modern built heritage?

Yes those multi-storeys are listed! An interesting question raised today is how much longer can we use post-war as a blanket term in planning.

#SYPC23

[James Hewitt @jlrh90]

Great to hear @JoeFitzSNP highlight the importance of Planning and Placemaking as a collective endeavour, and the need for Planners to exercise their professional judgement fearlessly, be bold, work together and be confident

[James Hewitt @jlrh90]

@sepidesoltani @NorthumbriaUni @MTJProf Well done Sepi!

[James Hewitt @jlrh90]

@Jonny1928 @FlyLoganair Technical faults happen but some warning would’ve been appreciated

[James Hewitt @jlrh90]

@Jonny1928 @FlyLoganair Imagine an airline being surprised their plane is small… they know how many people they’ve booked

[James Hewitt @jlrh90]

A sight to see so many people out in Aberdeen for the Queens Cortège. I must have missed the memo that we all had to record on our phones… imagine if the media covered it, and people could just experience a moment #queenelizabethll

[James Hewitt @jlrh90]

Not a bad morning to be in Perth for the Scottish Young Planners Conference! #SYPC22
