REINVENTION: PLANNING IN A TIME OF CHANGE
We live in an era of unprecedented social, environmental, economic, and technological changes – and these changes are reinventing how we plan the future of Australia’s communities.
Whether it’s planning for resilience and climate action; addressing housing and urban change; realising the potential of digitalization and PlanTech; or embracing planning with Country to better recognise and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – change is calling.
PIA’s Congress 2024 is themed “Reinvention: Planning in a time of change” and it’s all about how the planning profession can seize opportunities in this moment of change.
As planners, we are often leading change in our communities – and we have to be innovative, inventive and creative to get it done.
How might we prepare? How should we lead communities and clients through change? What projects are already showing us a glimpse of a brighter future? This call for abstracts invites you to share your ideas so that we can plan in a time of change.
For our two 2024 national conferences, Rural, Regional and Remote Virtual Conference and the National Planning Congress, we are calling on the profession to work through a strategic process to share their insights, knowledge and experiences on how town planning is adapting and evolving to meeting the challenges of today and tomorrow.
