About this listen

 How could we plan development differently? How could we ensure that urban and regional development truly serves people and the planet? One major shift could lie in how we involve citizens—not just in consultations, but in shaping decisions from the ground up. Can we, for instance, imagine future planning processes in which communities co-design solutions using the same tools as experts—like real-time data visualisation, interactive spatial models and scenarios, and digital platforms that make complex information easier to understand? Helping me unpack these topics are my two wonderful guests:Dr Lara Mottee, Research Fellow, John Grill Institute for Project leadership, School of Project Management, The University of Sydney. ANDDr. Anthony Kimpton, (He/Him/His, Lecturer (Urban and Regional Planning) School of Surveying and Built Environment, University of Southern Queensland.
