A Digital Future: how technology is reshaping built environment careers

Webinar

Friday 08 August 2025
10:00 - 11:00

Join this webinar to explore how digital tools and emerging technologies are reshaping skills in the built environment, and how we prepare a workforce ready to lead this shift.
The built environment is undergoing a digital transformation—where once siloed professions are now converging through smart design tools, BIM, AI, sensor tech and digital twins. As highlighted in NLA’s Skills for Places report, the future of city-making requires fluency in emerging technologies and the ability to collaborate across disciplines.

This webinar will spotlight how organisations across the sector are responding to this shift and integrating digital skills across roles, using in-house design technology teams, and building cross-functional talent pipelines. We’ll explore the evolving skillsets needed to thrive in this tech-led landscape and the structural changes needed across education and practice to keep pace.

Join us to hear how built environment firms are using digital innovation to upskill their teams, future-proof their projects, and redefine what it means to be a designer, planner, or architect today.
