The Scottish Young Planners’ Network (SYPN) organises conferences and events that appeal to planners who are starting out in the profession. Young planners have a different perspective on our work and the planning system we help to implement and operate. We can also have different needs and interests than those who have been established as planners for longer. We try to bring this perspective to the debate on changing Scottish planning for the better. Having all been attracted to this profession, young planners working in Scotland have a lot in common, even if we work for different, and sometimes opposing, interests. What matters is that we are all trying to improve the physical surroundings and quality of environment we see every day. We need support and opportunities to meet and discuss how best to achieve this.
Our last conference, entitled PLANet YOUTH: NYC 2008 Celebrating Youth Leadership in Planning, took place from April 3-6, 2008. Please visit http://www.youngplannersnetwork.org for more information.
