A Community Planner develops and implements plans to enhance urban and rural communities. You might work for local councils, government agencies, or private planning firms. Community Planners focus on land use, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure development. You’ll conduct research, consult with stakeholders, and prepare comprehensive plans to guide community growth and improvement.

Community Planners play an important role in shaping the future of communities. You’ll need to be analytical and creative, with strong communication skills to engage with diverse groups. You’ll liaise with residents, developers, and government officials to ensure community needs are met and sustainable development is achieved.
