PIA Congress - Adelaide 2020 - Call for Abstracts
calling all planners
Planning is key to
shaping great cities
and communities,
yet it is quite often
labelled as the
blockage or hold up
of development, or
not acknowledged at
all.
At PIA’s 2020 National
Planning Congress, we will
shine the spotlight on how
vital planning is to creating
great communities. We
hope to remind you of why
you became a planner and
rightfully claim the positive
contribution our profession
makes toward a better world.
To prepare the best program,
we are calling on all planning
rock stars (yes, that’s you) to
submit an abstract showing
off how fearless you have
been in your role as a planner
to inspire your peers and
showcase the future of
planning.
Call for abstracts:
Open: 21 October 2019

theme 4
planning research
If we want to really
change the world, we
need to understand
the complexities,
as well as the
possible innovations,
planning theories
and data.
In 2020, we want to showcase
pioneering planning
research and call on planning
academics and researchers
to talk about their current
research topics or put forward
a research idea that needs an
industry partner.
We also call upon practicing
planners to put forward an
issue that research could help
solve.
These sessions allow 5‐7
minutes for each presenter to
deliver their brief, bid or idea.
