Read the Bartlett Review: a digital future for spatial planning – A ground breaking report from the Digital Task Force for Planning is helping the UK planning profession use new, digital approaches.

Professor Michael Batty said, “In this world we live in, everything is connected to everything else. The impact of the planning process is no more or less than all of us being involved in our environment.”

Dr Wei Yang said, “I am delighted that our work at the Digital Task Force for Planning has been featured at The Bartlett Review.

The planning profession must seize the significant opportunity to lead the digital revolution in planning before it passes us by. Digital technology empowers us to accomplish tasks that were previously beyond our reach.
