黑料大事

Recorded on 20 July 2023.

As the number of digital planning tools continues to grow, it can feel overwhelming to navigate and identify the most effective tools for our work. To help us we have invited Winston Yap to deliver a briefing about his recent comprehensive review of free and open source planning tools. In his review, Winston documented 70 open source tools that support different stages of the urban planning process, as well as an additional 54 peripheral tools for related domains. In this talk, Winston will give us a crash course on the functionality of freely available tools and how they can add value to the planning process. We will also learn about ongoing efforts to build an open source global urban network tool at the National University of Singapore.
