Abstract Technology is a ubiquitous part of the planning profession (Potts, 2020). In the last two decades technology has become embedded in all tasks planners engage with on a daily basis, from the submission of online applications to the use of e-questionnaires within public consultations. Since the 2000s new technologies have emerged, providing opportunities to enhance the planning process, enable better communication a variety of stakeholders, and collect, present, and analyze real-time big data to enhance the decision-making process (Stratigea et al., 2015; Yigitcanlar et al., 2018). Parallel with the evolution of the world wide web, these technologies vary in their complexity, capability, and applicability to different scales and types of planning activities. While such technologies represent a significant opportunity for planners and planning to become more effective and efficient, little is currently known about planners perceptions of such technologies and how they are responding to the increasingly technological nature of their work. This chapter seeks to fill this gap and explore planners’ perspectives and experiences of new technologies in planning practice. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
