Digital, Data & Plantech
ABOUT
The planning system has historically been slow to adopt new technologies, but the digital transformation of public planning is now accelerating fast. The Planning White Paper aims to take a “radical, digital-first approach to modernise the planning process” including new data standards and digital civic engagement. Authorities are embarking on projects to explore the potential of digital innovation, urban data and user-centred design to improve the efficiency and experience of public planning, often in collaboration with the Connected Places Catapult and each other. As a result, there is an urgent need to expand digital literacy, skills and capabilities within Authorities.
