ÂÜÀò°®Å¾Íø Foresight

In our ever-evolving world, the pace of change is accelerating faster than ever. If we want to stay ahead of the curve and not be left behind, we need to anticipate what’s ahead and how it might impact our profession.

With foresight, planners can help communities navigate change and plan effectively for more sustainable and liveable futures.

With this mind, the Planning Institute of Australia (ÂÜÀò°®Å¾Íø) in partnership with have produced this ÂÜÀò°®Å¾Íø Foresight report to assist planners to better understand the drivers of change and how we might plan for them. In this report, we aim to illuminate the major trends impacting our profession and the communities we plan for.

In this report, we aim to illuminate the major trends impacting our profession and the communities we plan for.

Whilst we can never be certain of the exact trajectory of trends, we can make informed assumptions as to their likely impacts. We have aimed to empower the profession with knowledge of future trends and build resilience for our uncertain futures.
