 the population.   This talk describes a series of pragmatic research proje
 cts that have sought  to improve inclusion in spatial planning\, culminati
 ng in a discussion of the Cambridge Room\, an ‘urban room’ for Cambrid

 authorities\, universities\, industry and practice. The  particular focus 
 of the room is on the inclusion of children and young people in decision m
