This grant will allow the Technology Division to develop a planning technology handbook and a refined version of the "Planning Through the Black Mirror" card game, which together aim to provide accessible, centralized guidance on technology strategy, applications, and ethics in planning practice, while engaging planners in real-world scenarios and best practices.
