There is limited understanding of how people are truly interacting with their cities. High-level and static data is often relied upon to inform our understanding and thus how we plan, but cities are dynamic and accessing comprehensive real-time geodata has not been easy – until now.

People movement data not only provides insights to how people are moving around places, but also offers insights into how long people are spending in certain areas, where they’ve come from, travel patterns over time, and so on. Most importantly, this data can provide the evidence behind people-orientated planning. Knowing who, when, where, how and even the ‘why’ behind people movement allows us to effectively plan for more connected and walkable neighbourhoods.

During this webinar, you will hear from:

1. Vincent Ng, Transport Planner at the City of Casey

Vincent will discuss how innovative uses of data will lead the planning of 20-minute neighbourhoods within the LGA. Vincent heads a whole-of-Council initiative that brings together key stakeholders and challenges them to think outside the box on what and how data can improve neighbourhood planning.

2. Catherine Liddell, Director (Spatial Platforms and Data Solutions) at Veitch Lister Consulting

Catherine will discuss case studies of how people movement data can support effective people-orientated transport and land use planning. Catherine will discuss the merits of digital master planning to bridge the gap between static urban planning and dynamic urban living, and provide a demo of how people movement data can be made accessible through VLC’s urban analytics platform, Planwisely.
