Technology
is changing our world faster than ever before. This course is designed to give
the experienced planner an understanding of these emerging technologies, and to
incorporate this awareness into practice. New technologies are leading to
changes in the activities and resources we manage and offer new opportunities
for protecting the natural environment and managing effects.
This
course gives an understanding of how the world is changing in what is termed
the fourth industrial revolution. Key technology trends such as artificial
intelligence, machine learning, data, digital trade, drones and Internet of
Things are explained. The course also delves into some of the deeper attitudes
or principles behind these changes such as open data, transparency, security
and privacy.
The participants will then look at some case
studies of these technologies in practice in planning or related professions. Group
exercises will allow the participants to reflect on how these new technologies
will drive change in their own areas of planning practice.
The course will:
- Introduce the so called Fourth Industrial Revolution and the key groups
of technologies which are part of it
- Discuss some of the underlying principles or attitudes underpinning
these trends such as open data, transparency of governance and data security
- Explore how these technological trends are changing all spheres of daily
life and how this is creating new activities and resources along with new
options for managing environmental effects and protecting natural environments
- The
purpose of this course is to give a solid grounding on the emerging
technological trends and equip the participants with the skills to apply these
to their work with the resources, activities, environments and effects. The
course draws on practical examples of these technologies at use in planning and
related professions.
By
the end of the course attendees will:
- Understand the principal groups of emerging technologies and their
impact on how our world works
- Understand the impact of these technologies on the environments and
resources we work with
- Be able to consider how these emerging technologies can improve
management of effects
- Maintain sound resource management practice in this changing world
Who
should attend?
The
course is targeted to experienced planners who are looking to better understand
new technologies in the context of how these technologies affect the activities
and resources we manage through the resource management process. The course
does not cover use of digital technology or other tools in the planner’s
practice.
