MAIN ACTORS
This website is intended for a range of practitioners involved in town planning and transport planning. These include town planners, spatial planners, urban and rural planners, urban designers, masterplanners, transport planners, highway and traffic engineers. Politicians concerned with planning and transport issues may also be interested in the material. The intention is that readers look through the summary guide and the whole of the site, including key themes and case studies – the principle being that cross-disciplinary working is critical.
However as a shortcut to some of the work, the following sections may be of particular interest:
