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!
