Back by popular demand !! 🚨🚨

On Tuesday 25th of March, we will once again be running our Heart of the City Tour and Talk with Sheffield City Council, which was an extremely popular event last year. This involves taking a closer look at the redevelopment that Sheffield City Centre is currently undergoing and a chance to look at and ask questions on this initiative. Students from all years are strongly encouraged to come along!

Committee members will be meeting and walking down from the School of Geography and Planning at 2:55pm. The event is officially commencing at Sheffield Town Hall at 3:15pm and so you are welcome to meet the Society here too.

We hope to see as many of you there as possible!

all the best,

Planning Soc

We're less than one week away from the start of our 2025 Seminar Series!

We will be welcoming students to a series of seminars over the next few months to join us in delving into some of the recent research undertaken by lecturers in the School of Geography and Planning Graduate Network.
 
Our first seminar is hosted by Olayiwola Oladiran on the 'Innovation and Digital Technology in the Built and Natural Environment'. 
 
'The approach to professional practice, operations and services in the built environment is evolving in line with innovation and digital technological advancement. The emergence of terminologies and phenomena such as PlanTech, smart cities, smart buildings, ConTech and PropTech are the results of these. The seminar will provide insight into the wider evolution in the built environment and the digital tools that are reshaping practice (such as big data, advanced analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR)'
 
Free Tickets are available on the SU website (link in our bio)!
