You Could Get All This (If You Let Us Have Our Way)
You Could Get All This (If You Let Us Have Our Way)
Major project:
Application ref: 21/AP/3246
If our planning system was based on an integrated City Information Model, rather than thousands of individual documents, what new policies might emerge to take advantage of its capabilities? Could these new policies ensure development is more equitable? And if everyone had access to the same information in the same format, would we all finally agree on how to build our cities?
Application ref: 21/AP/3246 is an exploration of these questions, sited within the Old Kent Road Opportunity Area in Southwark. The project speculates on ways in which the emerging technology of City Information Modelling (CIM) will change the way we plan. Similarly to Building Information Modelling (BIM), where a single model seeks to encompass all of the information required for a construction project, CIM is an attempt to quantify all of the qualities of a city and represent them in a digital model.
But no matter how innovative the tools become, the process of planning will always be contested and compromising. The project takes the form of a Planning Committee meeting in three acts, set after the widespread adoption of CIM and the various policy changes which follow.
