RTPI London: Young Planners' Guide

This week in the Young Planners Guide to Podcast Chloe Rutland and Rachel White are joined by CJ Obi and Sara Tabar to discuss the impact of Covid on our high streets and the changes to the use classes order. 2020 has seen vast change across all parts of our life. The shift to e-commerce has been dramatic and rapid, and for many months of this year non-essential retail has remained closed. The long term impacts on high streets, as a result of Covid and the new Class E, are not yet known, but this episode discusses a number of initiatives and explores our hopes for the high street in future.

This week, YPG’s Chloe Rutland and Tom Pemberton are joined by Heather Claridge, Principal Design Officer at Architecture & Design Scotland, where most recently she has been leading the body’s work on Place Planning for Decarbonisation. On the podcast, Heather discusses her own career and the recently launched Carbon Conscious Places report, which explores how planners and urban practitioners can design for a changing climate. The report examines how planners and built environment professionals can use a “whole-place” approach to meet the challenges of our profession in terms of doing our bit to address the global climate crisis. The report encourages built environment professionals to rethink how we all live; move about; support town centres and become more self-sufficient.
