Jed Griffiths, the new president of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), aims to have a significant impact on environmental planning policies during his year in office. He believes that one of the main priorities is to establish better dialogues with the RTPI's membership, and also hopes to forge closer links with non-traditional environmental groups. Another task will be to encourage more young people to enter the profession.
