Our planning system is dated and prone to abuse. It should become an open document, curated by completely independent professionals (i.e. beyond politicians' reach) with both long term goals and short term ones that are constantly being researched and updated in rolling 10 year periods, to reflect changing needs and demands. Big data collected from houses and businesses, traffic patterns might inform how it needs to adjust. Economic and visual implications of policies may be modelled.
