Pathway to Planning: Improving Diversity and Inclusion within the Planning Profession

The documentary offers insights into the ‘Tomorrows Planners’ PATH Programme which was a government initiative launched in 2003 to increase the numbers of people from BAME backgrounds in planning. It included in-depth interviews with some of the candidates nearly 20 years on. It raised the question of what similar initiatives are available today and what central and local government and private sector planning organisations are doing to improve representation of BAME planners in the sector.
