Extract
Planning applications made to councils get compared against historic maps and other key policy documents that can be difficult to access. Important information is often stored on handwritten paper notes, microfiche or is locked away in PDF documents. Without it residents and developers struggle to understand what they can build or what home improvements are allowed in their area before making their applications. As a result, estimates suggest 250,000 hours are spent by planning officers each year manually checking documents and a third of applications submitted annually get rejected.
New digital software can help to streamline the planning application process. Government backed, open-source tools such as PlanX are being used live in councils to help the public to better understand what information to submit with their applications, reducing time to validate a pre-application from 6.5 days to 1.3 days in Doncaster Council, and reducing incoming calls to planning helplines by 60% in Camden, saving 21 hours per month. However, local planning authorities face a significant data barrier when trying to adopt this software because it requires data in modern formats to function effectively.
Armed with the right data and software, councils will serve the public more quickly, transparently and predictably to process more applications and permit more home improvements.Extract drastically reduces the effort required of local councils to become digitally mature by automating the conversion of PDF planning constraints into modern, usable data.

URA Singapore: Harnessing the Power of Digital Technologies
Planning in today's dynamic operating environment requires a holistic understanding of the city as an ecosystem. In the past, it was more difficult to form an overall picture and generate multiple scenarios without the benefit of consolidated, up-to-date, and real-time information. This is changing thanks to digitalisation.
New tools are emerging that bring together all available data on a single platform for advanced analysis and visualisation. The ability to overlay, merge and model different layers of data makes it possible to quickly and easily uncover new relationships and patterns. These can help to reduce uncertainty and ‘what if’ elements of the urban planning equation.

CityScope
CityScope is a project conducted at the MIT Media Lab City Science group. It includes a slew of tangible and digital platforms dedicated to solving spatial design and urban planning challenges. The tools range from simulations that quantify the impact of disruptive interventions in cities to community engagement systems. We develop and deploy these tools around the world and maintain free and open-source community for the majority of our work.
