Abstract

From 5–7 September 2022, the UK-Ireland Planning Research Conference was held at the University of Manchester, marking a return to an in-person event for the first time since 2019. The theme of the conference – ‘Planning in, and for, a Digital World’ – covered topics from the potential implications of the metaverse through to the impact of planners’ values on shaping practice. Hosted by the Department of Planning and Environmental Management in the year of its seventieth anniversary, the conference brought together 76 conference papers across 13 conference tracks, five round table sessions, and keynotes from Professor Michael Batty (UCL, UK), Professor Andrew Hudson-Smith (UCL, UK), Professor Marketta Kyttä (Aalto University, Finland) and Ms Joanna Averley (Chief Planner for England, Dept of Levelling Up, Housing & Communities). Hosted alongside the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), the conference also saw the announcement of the RTPI Awards for Research Excellence.
