The Living Places Culture and Sport Planning Toolkit (CSPT) is an essential source of information and advice for all practitioners involved in culture and planning. It provides practical guidance to incorporate planning for culture and sport into new and existing developments. It aims to:

• Help planning and culture professionals find information on how to integrate planning for culture and sport into their existing infrastructure.
• Develop a greater consistency in how planning authorities assess the need for culture and sport and build this into their plans.
• Build and share a body of knowledge about the best approaches to planning for cultural and sporting infrastructure.

From October 2009, in every region in England, culture and sports policy professionals and local and regional planners will come together for the first time to learn together how to ensure that leisure, arts and heritage provision can be built into regeneration and development plans.

Each event will be chaired by a regional expert in culture and sports planning, and will feature a high-profile keynote speaker with a track record in implementing strategies for improving local areas. The sessions will present a mix of case studies and practical guidance on how to use the toolkit and other related resources.

These free Continuing Professional Development events will provide the opportunity to share ideas and experiences and encourage the development of local and regional networks to sustain improved practice across regions.
