​🏙️ AI & Innovation in Planning: Online CPD Event

​AI is already inside planning workflows — quietly reshaping how proposals are drafted, visualised and assessed. The problem? Most of the profession hasn't been given the tools to evaluate it critically.

​That's what this event is for.

​UrbanSight is teaming up with emerging AI and planning technology startups for a live online showcase of the tools defining the future of planning practice — designed to leave you better equipped to engage with them confidently.

​📅 Date: 14th October 2026
🕚 Time: 11:00 – 12:30
📍 Where: Online via Zoom

​🎤 Speakers include:

​🔹 Robert Molloy & Josh Gavin (Co-Founders, UrbanSight) — building an urban planning platform spanning education, policy and tools, from firsthand planning experience and the gaps it revealed between guidance, training and technology.

​🔹 Luke Ferguson (Planner, Woods Hardwick | Founder, PlanLift AI) is helping lead the way on AI in planning, from using it responsibly in day-to-day practice to deliver more for clients, to transforming technical drawings into clear, engaging visuals for development proposals.

​🔹 Tiernan Fitzlarkin (PhD Researcher, Ulster University) — a Town Planner by background, researching the use of AI in participatory planning processes and planning education.

​🔹 Neri Carcasci (Co-Founder, Eireplan) — bringing Ireland's 31 planning registers into one clear, searchable record, giving planners accurate, traceable data for better-informed decision making.

​Whether you're a planner, policymaker, or just curious about where the profession is heading — this is a chance to see the tools shaping planning practice, straight from the people building them.
