Overview
One connected toolkit, from the comprehensive plan to the next permit review
Planning teams juggle zoning maps, parcel data, applications and long-range plans across separate systems. Every decision, big or small, means pulling information from several places before work can start.
In this session, the ViewPro team shows how cities and counties bring planning, GIS and AI together in one place, so the same data supports long-range strategy and day-to-day decisions.
In this session, you'll learn:
- Evaluate the tech & AI continuum: when to use analytical AI for long-term scenario modeling, and when to use operational software for daily permitting, zoning administration and workflow automation
- Operationalize the comprehensive plan: set up administrative frameworks that turn scenario-plan outputs into day-to-day decisions staff can carry out
- Analyze real-world tech deployments: case studies from Midwest municipal leaders on auditing their technology, matching tools to planning functions and using AI to support staff
