The IAQM will be hosting a one-day conference around the topic of Air Quality and Planning, specifically the way in which planning can influence air quality in the long term - for better or worse. The event will be held at St Martins in the Field, London. Early bird registration is available for participants registering before 11th September.
Following a hugely successful meeting earlier this year, the IAQM is bringing together planning and air quality professionals to examine the ways in which both communities can work together to improve air quality in the long term. This meeting is aimed at professionals working in consultancies, local authorities and within Government. It will offer examples of best practice in existing developments and help participants gain a better understanding of developments in planning and air quality policy.
