What’s it like to be an Urban and Regional Planner?
Urban and regional planners develop policies and plans for the use of land and
resources. They advise on the economic, environmental, social and cultural
needs of particular localities or regions as they relate to the built
environment and the community. They also work on large-scale projects such as
new suburbs, towns, industrial areas, commercial and retail developments,
urban renewal projects and transportation links.
Planners work closely with professionals in other fields (such as surveying,
urban design, architecture, engineering, environment and conservation,
property development, community services and transport planning). There is a
high level of public contact as planners spend a lot of time in meetings and
discussions. Time is also spent on field visits, writing reports and
performing research. Planners are required to prepare documentation of
decisions for independent review and are often called upon to appear as expert
witnesses before appeal hearings.
