Planning as Production Interface

Victoria’s new mid-rise code matters not only because it may speed up approvals, but because it points to a deeper shift.

Planning is beginning, at least in part, to move from discretionary case-by-case judgement toward rule-based throughput.

That matters because repeatable housing systems do not only need better products. They need planning pathways stable enough to be designed around.

Planning becomes scalable when it stops behaving like bespoke judgement and starts behaving like a repeatable interface.
