Improving the Planning Process with Open-Source Data and Standardisation | VU.CITY

VU.CITY CEO Jamie Holmes speaks with Andrew Knight from RICS on how open-source data and standardisation can improve the planning process.

The planning system in the United Kingdom is notoriously difficult to navigate. In terms of what is digitally feasible, we live in fascinating times, and the digitalisation of the planning system is no exception. 

Jamie shares his thoughts on how we can use digital technologies to develop a more efficient and uniform planning process to drive positive change.

Andrew and Jamie also explore how digital tools and standardisation may be utilised to increase community engagement and communicate data to various stakeholders in a simple manner.

In this video, they address essential questions such as:

• Is it possible to standardise the system?
• Would mandating technology and digital tools in the planning system aid in standardisation?
• What is the significance of open-source data in 3D visualisation?
• What is the next step in promoting open-source data?
• Is there anything else the UK government can do?
