In November 2025, I showed Grade 10/11 students a cassette tape - few recognised it. My Year 10 "USB" for Apple's first school computer sparked the Digital Revolution. Today, their smartphones outpace it a millionfold; AI is next. Forecaz blends data science & insight for councils/utilities to predict sustainable cities. Students explored their school's spatial data, eyeing urban planning careers.

Forecaz presented at the PIA QLD Conference with Toowoomba Regional Council, showcasing their AI‑Powered Urban Growth Model. The session explored how AI codifies planner knowledge, aligns growth with infrastructure, and supports evidence‑based decisions for sustainable urban development. A great exchange on how AI is reshaping the future of planning in Australia.

Forecaz founder joins Nicole Bennetts on the Hustle & Bustle podcast to explore the future of cities, discussing how AI and data-driven modelling are reshaping urban planning. Discover how Forecaz enables planners to test zoning scenarios, improve accuracy, and connect technology with the realities of policy and funding.

Urban Utilities partners with Forecaz to deliver data-driven growth planning. With SE Qld’s rapid expansion placing increasing pressure on critical water and sewerage infrastructure, UU needed a smarter, spatially detailed way to plan for growth. Using the Forecaz platform, UU now models urban development at property level, bringing data accuracy and operational efficiency to long-term infrastructure forecasting.
