UK–Ireland Planning Research Conference 2016
The UK-Ireland Planning Research Conference is an annual event that showcases cutting-edge planning research and provides an opportunity for academics and practitioners to explore current and future issues faced by the field. The 2016 conference was hosted by Cardiff University on 6 and 7 September to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the university's School of Geography and Planning. The theme of the conference was Planning for Future Generations--a theme chosen to reflect the key priorities of the pioneering Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. Much of the discussion during the conference was underlain by concerns around what 'Brexit' might mean for planning, particularly from academic, legal, environmental and economic perspectives. These concerns were coupled with a recognition that times are tough and decisions related to future planning research may get harder before they get easier. However, there was also a clear acknowledgement that all of this uncertainty and potential future hardship is set within a context that recognises the value of planning and its significant potential contribution to place-making and the delivery of social well-being.
