The RTPI in Wales has issued a call for entries into Wales’ Best Places awards, so why not nominate a historic area?
The RTPI writes:
Are you proud of the place where you were born, live or work? Do you think it has the potential to win one of our coveted 10 Wales’ Best Places awards and perhaps even be crowned the overall winner?
Wales’ Best Places is a competition designed to celebrate some of our most attractive and inspiring places. It was established to mark the centenary of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), the professional body for the UK’s planning professionals, with competitions planned to be held throughout the UK, following the first, in Scotland, which ran very successfully, followed by England last year.
Your best place in Wales could be a natural landscape, a historic town or village, a national park or a shopping area. It might be a vibrant and diverse community you are especially proud of, a special place within a city, a stunning cultural quarter or neighbourhood. You could nominate an area that has undergone significant regeneration and has been transformed by that process. Your nomination could be a place that has changed over time to meet the needs of its communities. There is no single definition of a ‘best place.’ We are leaving that up to you. A wind swept moorland, a secret cove, a business district: all could qualify. We want your suggestions.
The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and its members have been working with communities for a century to help create great places for people. Each place nominated will also be judged against how it was shaped, protected or improved by planners and the planning system.
