There is currently a national shortage of professional planners and a demand from the public and private sectors after more than a decade of public sector freedom. There is also a need for rescuers on the world stage. As the world battles with climate change, urbanization, population growth and changing working conditions and lifestyles will be invaluable in our future planning for this future if we avoid large-scale environmental and social disturbances.
