City planners matter. Try building a road, park, or entertainment district without a planner. Planners are the unsung heroes shaping your city’s future, but we’re burying them in outdated systems and endless red tape. City planners: ? Create growth and livability. ? Manage decisions most people take for granted. ? Hold your city together. And yet, they’re stuck fighting paperwork instead of building the future. That's why we build Ordinal alongside planners - to empower the planners that move their regions forward. To help the most important civic leaders get away from making photocopies and reading old books. Ordinal can help planners accomplish the seemingly impossible. ? Permits processed in minutes, not months. ? Less time battling bureaucracy, more time solving real problems. ? Potholes fixed, parks approved, housing developed. Cities embracing AI are sprinting ahead. Planners there are empowered, creative, and free to do their best work. Meanwhile, cities stuck in the past? They’re spinning their wheels, wasting time, money, and talent. What do you think? Are we doing enough to support city planners? Drop your thoughts below—I’m here for the rants, solutions, and spicy takes.
Very insightful. Planners do indeed matter but are rarely recognized to the extent of the true value they provide to their communities. I had lunch with other retired planner colleagues the other day and a main theme to our discussion was how much we loved our cities and the successes we sometimes achieved in the face of daunting workloads and compromising of core land use principles. Most planning departments are far understaffed and lack critical resources to carry out the complexities of their assignments. Our chat was also overshadowed by our collective experience of how exhausting it was to deal with the negativity associated with growth and change at the local, which in our case was overshadowed by explosive regional growth, while simultaneously striving to actually do quality urban “planning”. City planning, for many in the profession, is usually a process of watching best land use practices and policy be sacrificed to NIMBY residents and city leaders who often bow down to their extremism.
