(1) The Royal Town Planning Institute denes planning as follows: Planning involves twin activities - themanagement of the competing uses for space, and the making of places that are valued and have identity. Theseactivities focus on the location and quality of social, economic and environmental change. In setting out its vision
for planning, RTPI uses the term spatial planning to encompass these.http://www.rtpi.org.uk/what_planning_does/ [accessed 16 October 2010]

Ram,LocalResident,ThePublic,6August
2010:
Ram has lived in West Bromwich all his life, the fam-ily settled here in the 1960s. He likes that so muchis going on, but this used to be a working class town
with a lot of industry, people who are educated andhave a better income want to move away.
