Development of a conceptual model for an information management system in spatial planning projects. Case study of making-city project

Abstract

Efficient information management is pivotal for the effective execution of spatial planning projects, yet many encounter hurdles stemming from disjointed information systems and processes. In this article, authors consider the intricacies of information management within the realm of spatial planning, leveraging insights from the multifaceted MAKING-CITY project to elucidate common challenges and propose innovative solutions. The proposed conceptual model for an integrated information management system offers a holistic approach, aiming to eliminate weaknesses inherent in existing information landscapes by seamlessly integrating diverse information components into a unified framework. By facilitating robust communication channels and synchronizing the actions of all project participants and stakeholders, this model enhances collaboration, streamlines workflows, and fosters informed decision-making. Importantly, the adaptability and versatility of developed model ensure its applicability across various spatial planning initiatives, offering a scalable solution to address the evolving demands of urban development projects. Through a meticulous examination of real-world challenges and practical solutions, this article contributes to the advancement of information management practices in spatial planning, laying the groundwork for more efficient, sustainable, and inclusive urban development processes in today's dynamic landscape.
