It is my great pleasure to announce the Finalists of the RTPI Awards for Planning Excellence 2021. For over 40 years, these prestigious awards have celebrated the exceptional work undertaken by town planners.

In the middle of a global pandemic, the Awards for Planning Excellence are more relevant than ever to showcase the contributions of town planners in Planning the World We Need for communities in the UK and internationally.
