Our Charge from the Symposium Steering Committee

Focus the 2015 Arrowhead Symposium on the idea that cities and planners are facing an unprecedented pace of change

So Much Change...

• Innovative mobility services are changing transportation options quicker

than ever before

• A growing gap between the private and public sector’s ability to leverage

data and technology to accomplish an organizational mission

• Residents of urban centers demand new services and new tech-enabled

pathways to access existing services

• New regional plans focusing infill growth at the center of regions
• Accelerating climate change impacts
• The implementation tools of planning are shifting toward management and

policy from infrastructure provision

• Big data and the pace of information flows creates new analysis
• pportunities but also necessitates continuous or frequent data collection
• Expanding attention to the connection between public health and urban

planning

• Finance and future revenue expectations: progression from an impending

challenge to the new normal

Making sense of change ...by focusing on the practice of planning

Make no Fragile Plans

Fragile plans break down over time. These plans don’t anticipate how technology could change travel and urban

• life. Fragile plans extrapolate a continuation of past trends

rather than a projection of future changes. Over time, a fragile plan’s guidance becomes less useful and it is retired to the shelf. “If your plan takes 10 years, it will be obsolete after a few months, or weeks. “ Peter Hinssen, Co-Founder of Across Group, 2012

Agile Plans

Agile plans consider many future scenarios, including those that differ substantially from historic trends. Agile plans are resilient and adaptive. An agile plan continues to guide a planning organization’s learning over time, building in decision points for future actions. “Why build a deep plan if it doesn’t present the correct solution? Agility provides a framework to get real insight more quickly. Watch how people use the plan, take the findings back to the drawing table, iterate, and then do the same thing again and again, until slowly, over time, the plan begins to take shape.” - Simon LaPointe, Founder of 3Pikas, 2014

What do we mean by Agile Planning?

Civic Innovation

Civic Innovation

“A tension exists between “putting out fires” and managing day-to-day responsibilities and finding the time and space needed to think, plan, and launch new solutions. There are few incentives within bureaucracies to experiment and try new things—but there are plenty of motivations to maintain the status quo or settle for incremental change. “

• Bloomberg Philanthropies

Motivation for establishing the I-Teams program

Open Data

Open (& Big) Data

“Big data lets you see new things and justify design decisions in ways that you were never able to before’ … Most of the players driving big data and the smart cities movement right now are computer scientists, data analysts, technology experts, and companies like IBM and Cisco. They know data and technology and have the ability to use and apply them. But when it comes to using big data to positively impact cities and quality of life, planners have something the others don't: extensive, holistic knowledge of what makes cities work, their challenges, and the needs of the people who live in them.

Agile response

Agile Agile Planning

• Agile planning is a framework in progress
• Over the next 2 days we aim to advance insight

into how planners will accommodate an expanding set of tools and imperatives to acknowledge, analyze, and answer change
