Paul Ritter was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1925. As a child in 1939, he was evacuated to England. He graduated from the University of Liverpool (Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Civic Design).

Paul married fellow-graduate, Jean Patricia Finch in 1946. He graduated from Liverpool University as an architect and planner and in 1952 took up a teaching position at the Nottingham School of Architecture. The couple also ran the Ritter Press in Nottingham between 1954-1964. During this period the press published the journal Orgonomic functionalism, devoted to developing and discussing the works of Wilhelm Reich.

Paul and Jean combined their talents, interests and idealism in a professional partnership, “The Planned Environment and Education Research Institute” (PEER). They published their first book in 1959, The Free Family, describing how they applied their beliefs about child-rearing to their own children.

After the publication of Paul’s 1964 book, Planning for man and motor¸ he appointed as head of the City of Perth’s, (Western Australia) newly formed Department of Planning. The Ritter family migrated to Perth in 1965 and Paul began work as the City’s first planner.

As the City Planner he was responsible, among other things, for introducing a far-sighted parking policy, the initial idea of making Hay Street a mall and the prevention of a planned freeway that would have severed Perth from its river. In March 1966 he presented his ideas plan for Perth to the City Council. He also brought planning to the people with his own TV series, ‘Paul Ritter Talks Planning’.

In 1967, Paul was dismissed by the Perth City Council, accused of forging his signature on a leave application. He later successfully sued for wrongful dismissal and soon after returned to the City as a councillor for the East Ward, championing improvements to the area.

Paul spent 36 years as a ministerial adviser and was a member of the “Committee for a Vision of Perth in 2029”. He produced the “1999 Ideas Plan” and created a series of programs for television Channel 31 entitled, “The Sensitive Future”.

In the mid-1980s Paul was imprisoned for attempting to obtain Commonwealth export grants that were not payable and attempting to mislead the Export Development Grants Board. He maintained he was framed and after his release published, Curses from Canberra: Public Service conspiracy and the failure of democratic safeguards
