Digitisation and automation of jobs has been one of the megatrends of this decade. From supermarket check-outs to medical check-ups, computers and artificial intelligence are making inroads into our work life. The creation of a digital planning system was one of the core principles of last year’s Planning For The Future White Paper, and MHCLG are already laying the groundwork for digital planning processes which could underpin the forthcoming Planning Bill. What does this mean for us?
Join RTPI South West and RTPI President Wei Yang for an informative discussion about how the planning profession is evolving through the use of open data and machine-readable information. Is it working? Are there still challenges to overcome? Do we need the private and public sector to work more closely? Do planners have access to the training and tools they need?
