This document, published by the Royal Town Planning Institute, seeks to address the global challenges we face: rapid population and urbanization, stretching our capacity to provide adequate housing, energy, water; climate change; the unbalanced nature of economic growth; sprawl; and political unrest. Research and practice has established that issues are inter-related and that our responses to them need to be related. Crucially the RTPI holds that by thinking spatially the connections and the solutions to the challenges become more apparent. The paper contains one central message, as our call to action for everyone involved in public policy: policy needs to be more integrated and strategic through a better understanding of the differences between places.
