Become a better planner
Why an urban planner’s writing club?
Because most of us didn’t learn to write professional technical documents at school. Essays – yes! Community plans and policies, justification reports, accessible plain language engagement materials – no!
And yet, most planners spend more than 50% of their day writing.
As a subscriber, you’ll receive weekly tips and techniques for better, more effective writing on the job. Whether you’re a new planner or an experienced professional, there’s always room to improve. I’ll bring in the experts to share their insights on what works and doesn’t work. I’ll also give you short exercises you can complete on your own to practice the techniques and build your ability to communicate.
You’ll gain the skills you need to be an effective professional and build a reputation as a trusted expert.
Sustainable, affordable, healthy communities are the goal. As a subject matter expert, learning to communicate with clarity will help you go farther in your career, shine a light on the work of you and that of your team, and best of all, help you have the impact you hoped for with your community- and city-building projects.
