AI in Planning Interview Series

Artificial Intelligence, Genuine Impact is a Digital in Place interview series that moves past the hype to examine how AI is genuinely reshaping urban planning. In each conversation, Adam Beck sits down with the policymakers, practitioners and academics putting AI to work across our planning systems, from strategic policy and predictive analytics to generative and agentic tools in practice.

Drawing on real-world case studies from Australia and around the world, the series unpacks what is actually working, what remains hard, and what planning, design and infrastructure professionals should know to build genuine capability rather than chase the next shiny thing. If you want a clear-eyed, practitioner-focused view of AI in the built environment, this is the series for you.
