RTPI Cymru
RTPI Cymru promotes planning as a profession and builds links with other built environment professions and organisations throughout Wales. We offer members a programme of affordable seminars and events to assist with their continuing professional development requirements, and also publish 'Cynllunio., a regular newsletter for members.
We have a membership of just over 1,000 planners, drawn from the Welsh Assembly Government, National Parks and local government, private consultancies, the education sector and other organisations working in the field of planning. We welcome the views and opinions of all our members, and we are always looking for volunteers to help with running our programmes.

Promoting Planning to a New Generation
RTPI Cymru has produced materials to promote understanding of planning amongst young people and to raise awareness of career opportunities in Planning. These materials are available here, along with career profiles of planners working in Wales to give a flavour of the broad spectrum of work which planners do. Click here to read more.
Wales Planning Award 2008
The purpose of the Wales Planning Award scheme is to recognise, applaud and publicise examples of good planning practice in Wales. The 2009 Award was announced at the RTPI Cymru Annual Dinner.
The Award has recognised the first time that a local Council has taken the client role in creating a new passenger railway in the UK, with the reinstatement of passenger services on the Ebbw Valley Railway.
Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council led the project supported by Caerphilly CBC and Newport City Council. Capita Symonds were the project managers, and co-ordinated and undertook elements of the outline design. Amey Infrastructure was the detailed design and build contractor.
