Welcome to the PlanSIG website.
The UK Planning Special Interest Group is a loose organisation that promotes planning research in the UK. The UK Planning SIG website is a focal point for information concerning SIG activities and resources. It contains links to the sites of current and previous meetings of the Group.
The SIG is a lively and informal group. We meet annually (usually) in a technical workshop. This event regularly attracts 30-40 interested participants, drawing from industrial and academic contexts, across most of Europe (in recent meetings we have had participants from 11 different countries). The proceedings of the meetings (ISSN 1368-5708) are available on request. The meeting is an ideal forum for young researchers (including research students) to present work, including work in a preliminary stage, with opportunities for constructive discussion and feedback. It is also a valuable opportunity for interested parties to discover more about the nature of work going on this exciting and energetic area of research.
