What we offer

The TCPA has a long track-record of creating high quality conferences, influential research reports, innovative training programmes, and thought-leadership across the planning and built environment sector.

We've worked in partnership with organisations ranging from small community groups to large public sector agencies; from local authorities to private sector businesses.

The TCPA has led a number of highly successful pan-European projects on topics such as energy, green infrastructure and housing.

The TCPA is also active in China delivering capacity building activities in partnership with local organisations, and sharing our heritage and learning from the UK Garden Cities and New Towns of which there is great interest among Chinese policy-makers and developers.
