Town planners are usually employed in the economic planning and development agencies of local councils or State governments. They are also often employed by architecture firms to help them plan better neighbourhoods, banks and real estate developers to help them make better investment decisions, transport agencies to better plan for the needs of new residential and commercial development, and non-profit agencies to operate housing and economic development programs.
