Geography in practice: smart planning at scale - from documents to dashboards

Planning applications hold a wealth of useful information, but their inconsistent formatting and legacy storage makes them difficult to analyse.

In this Geography in practice webinar, James Pryor (Senior Analyst at Knight Frank), discusses the need for ‘good’ planning data, the technology used to develop such a system, and an analysis of residential development in Milton Keynes.

James explores his latest project leverages recent advances in Artificial intelligence (AI) to extract information from planning documents and create standardised outputs.
