Stuart likes being an Urban Planner

Being a planner can lead to a broad range of work opportunnities but also requires working within a detail and process focused environmnet. Working as a planner can become very specialised and repetitive depending on your work environment, with public sector roles offerring more stability and structure and private sector roles providing more diversity of projects and tasks. Good clear writing and analytical skills are highly important. A customer / client focus is beneficial but time management and attention to detail is more important as most tasks require analysis and recommendations on development and planning proposals to be sound and consistent and delivered within agreed timeframes.
