Smart Tech for Planners - Workshop Only (*Note: This workshop is available as an add-on option for guests attending the Summit for the discounted price of $75. The discounted option appears as an option when you book your Summit ticket.)
Workshop Details
The workshop will be facilitated by Urbis experts Dr Nathaniel Bavinton and Richard Barry and hosted by NBN Co at their Melbourne office.
When: 27 November, 1.00pm-4.00pm
Where: NBN Co 727 Collins St, Docklands, Melbourne VIC, 3008
We are beyond the hype of smart cities. Yet, the impact of technology on the public realm has arguably never been greater.
Urban planners often describe a knowledge gap on the complexity of place-based technology, while those understanding the powerful capabilities of technology, digital and data solutions have little experience with the key concepts of urbanism or place experience. This workshop will seek to bridge that gap.
Urbis’ experts in smart city strategy and planning will guide attendees through an interactive workshop. Participants will apply some tools of design thinking to gain a greater appreciation of the complex issues surrounding technology infrastructure and smart solutions, and the interdisciplinary collaboration required to effectively harness them for the good of the community.
Who should attend?
- planners who are not familiar with smart cities
- smart city practitioners who are not planners or place-managers
- curious Summit attendees
This workshop is designed to build capacity within the planning and place disciplines to better support digitally enabled and technology-confident communities.
Smart communities require many perspectives and skills to be aligned. We recommend registering multiple representatives from your council or organisation to ensure the right mix of skills in the session and the collaborative conditions for change when you return to your day job.
Roles that would benefit include:
- Strategic and statutory planners
- Economic development officers
- Place managers
- Asset planners and managers
- Information technologist
- Community development officers
