This week I interview Matthew Leman. Matt is an urban and regional planner, having graduated from QUT in 2016, and has worked across private sector, State and local governments. He is also a digital native, meaning he was born after the internet.
Matt brings a unique perspective to planning and asks “how can we ensure ‘planning’ is bought up-to-speed with current technology and consumer expectations?”
In this is episode:
- Matt surprises me with a thank you
- speaks of his personal challenges buying a suitable home to live in
- explains his experiences of interacting with planning schemes
- speaks to the current crisis of trust
- details the opportunity for the future of planning schemes
- suggest the new approach to planning which is an Exemplary based planning system
- challenges us to look outside of planning to what we as digital consumers find easy to use and engaging & then apply that same approach to planning
Thanks so much Matt for sharing your thoughts on the podcast this week!
