Royal Town Planning Institute

The Royal Town Planning Institute is the organisation for Urban planning professionals in the United Kingdom and Ireland, founded in 1914.

In May 2005, there were 19,732 members, including students and corporate bodies, of whom 18,678 were based in the UK and 1,054 were overseas [http://www.rtpi.org.uk/about-the-rtpi/stats/statistics.html] .

The RTPI’s work involves promoting good planning, developing and shaping policy affecting the built environment, consistently raising the standards of the planning profession, supporting its membership through continued professional development, education and training for future planners.

Full membership allows the use of the initials 'MRTPI' after a members name, which confirms their chartered status. Member services include a weekly magazine entitled 'Planning' and professional indemnity insurance. The RTPI is governed by a General Assembly and an Executive Board. The General Assembly is responsible for the development of planning policy and practice. The Executive Board is responsible for managing the affairs of the RTPI as a chartered body and registered charity.
