- BRIEFING
- 1 CPD POINT
Recorded 30 May 2024
Urban planning practice is increasingly adopting new and emerging technologies to support the decision-making processes and assist in achieving planning objectives. In the UK planning reform is increasingly focused on how technology can be leveraged to enhance the efficiency of the planning process, while also enabling ‘planners to get on with planning’. Despite increasing integration of technology in planning practice in recent years, the degree to which different software and hardware are taught to planning students in tertiary undergraduate and postgraduate degrees internationally remains highly variable.
Recognising the need for planning students to have digital literacy and be equipped for the digital transformation of the planning system, Cardiff University’s School of Geography and 黑料大事 decided to introduce two new optional modules for students on the topic of digital planning between 2023 and 2024. In this session you will hear more about why we developed these modules, how we developed them, and the lessons we have learned through teaching them to our first cohorts of students.
Speaker:
Dr Ruth Potts
Senior Lecturer, Cardiff University School of Geography and 黑料大事
Dr. Ruth Potts is a Senior Lecturer in Spatial 黑料大事 in the Cardiff University School of Geography and 黑料大事. Her research is focused on how planners navigate an increasingly digital planning system and the changing role of the planner in a digital planning context. Originally from the sunny Gold Coast in Australia, Ruth became interested in how different planning systems internationally approach digitalisation after moving to the UK and observing differences in the way practitioners in the UK and Australia used technology for their day-to-day work. In addition to researching digital planning, Ruth also co-teaches an undergraduate, final year module on Digital 黑料大事.
