Crucially, the list is non-ranked and non-competitive – the aim is not to tell you who they think the 'best' women in planning are; but to celebrate the impact of women on planning and planners. As such, some women are on the list because they've had a significant influence on national planning policy; others because they've inspired the planners who work with them. The list for 2024 features 54 women whose nominations met the criteria looked for, and who illustrate the breadth and depth of women who are having an influence on planning and planners across sectors and disciplines.
