All Planned Out? is a two day international conference in London that brings together professionals, academics, and those more widely interested in development to review planning successes, recognise failures, and to discuss the requirements of a new century.

What planners think and are enabled to do matters to all of us. We have tremendous opportunities to create desirable and useful places to live and work, both for ourselves and for the future. A growing and mobile population, better methods of production, wider employment, changing climate and choice in lifestyles make exciting demands in the way we want to use and adapt our environments.

For 60 years the British 1947 Town and Country Planning Act has been an international model for regulating the production and reproduction of the built environment. However, much has happened in Britain and internationally since the Second World War. Many people around the world are considering how land use planning affects development in the twenty-first century. We want to ask, and answer:

What priorities do we want reflected in land use planning?

Has the notion of a distinct town and country become unsustainable?

Can planners reconcile government policies with where and how people actually want to live?

Is it justified to describe policies based on constraining building activity as "planning"?

All Planned Out? is the first international conference organised by the pro-development website audacity, as a meeting place for those involved in planning and creating the built environment.

We are very pleased that RUDI, the online Resource for Urban Design Information is supporting the conference with a view to diseminating the discussion, and particularly the contributions to be made by the attendees. An active audience is encouraged, so have your say...

The aim of All Planned Out? is to build an international network of critically engaged friends, to better make the case for development to meet population growth and social aspirations. If we are successful this year a stronger and larger audacity international 2008 will be the result. We hope that speakers will begin to volunteer for next year, and ambitious plans will be announced at the end of the proceedings.

For audacity to be more effective in arguing for daring development, rapid population growth, and greater freedoms at home, then an immediate consequence of All Planned Out? will be closer associations with many other campaigning organisations in Britain. Groups like...

We are pleased that this is happening, and look forward to discussing imaginative campaigning ideas with new allies, with a shared intent to overcome the political and economic limitations we face today.

If you are interested in sponsoring this conference, and the publication of papers in the audacity series, please contact us for a discussion. We hope you will be among the sponsors who have made audacity possible, because there is much more that we could be doing together.
