空间与环境规划研究所（ISEP）是英国发展最快且动态规划研究环境之一。Queen's的规划在2008年研究评估工作中取得了重大进步。2008年，提交了12名员工，增加了三分之一，英国范围内的排名上升了八位。现在在罗素集团提交的文件中排名第九。我们的研究计划基于空间规划的概念，尽管我们的经验工作部分基于该地区，但它建立在强大的国际，跨学科和理论基础上。我们的团队特别强大，他们在学术研究和应用研究方面拥有良好的记录，并拥有广泛的出版物，研究补助金和博士学位。自2000年以来，该研究所的员工人数增加了一倍以上，
The discipline of Planning is located in the School of Natural and Built Environment. In recent years the performance of the discipline has been quite exceptional in a range of surveys, e.g. National Student Survey, Times Higher Education Survey and Guardian League Table. Given this, Planning at Queen's is very highly ranked within the UK's Russell Group Universities.<br>ur research programme is based on the concept of spatial planning and whilst our empirical work is partly grounded in the region, it is built on strong international, interdisciplinary and theoretical references. Our particular strength is the staff team who have built a track record in scholarly and applied research and a wide-ranging portfolio of publications, research grants and Doctoral studentships. Planning academics have built an international reputation and attracted a stream of major research funding linked to our main areas. We value the connection between our research and teaching programmes and the application of our empirical work in a learning environment, and continues to innovate and develop teaching programmes to reflect a rapidly changing market place, problem and policy context and changes in professional standards.
