City planning is a complex task, requiring coordination across multiple departments and collaboration with community stakeholders. Often, plans are published as static PDFs, each residing in different silos across department websites. This fragmented system makes it difficult for planners, officials, and the public to find relevant information and cross-reference between documents. Enter Konveio’s Plan Hub—a comprehensive solution designed to transform how cities manage, share, and implement their planning documents.
Konveio’s Plan Hub is built to address the challenges that come with navigating various documents across city departments. Whether it’s a transportation plan, a parks and recreation master plan, or urban design guidelines, each department typically handles their plans independently. This makes it cumbersome to search for and utilize information across these disconnected PDFs.
Plan Hub changes this by centralizing all planning documents into one easy-to-navigate platform. Rather than sifting through multiple department pages, stakeholders and citizens alike can now find everything they need in one place. The platform links documents across departments, allowing for effortless cross-referencing and more transparent access to the information that matters most.
But Plan Hub doesn’t just make documents accessible—it brings them to life. With the integration of rich media such as videos, interactive maps, and dynamic graphics, Konveio transforms static planning PDFs into immersive experiences. This enhancement ensures that complex plans are more engaging and easier to understand for everyone, from city planners to the general public.
When planning documents are presented in such an interactive and user-friendly manner, it fosters greater community engagement. Citizens can now explore plans in depth, gaining a better understanding of how projects will affect their neighborhoods, and contributing more effectively to the conversation. Konveio ensures that everyone’s voice is heard, promoting inclusivity and transparency throughout the planning process.
What truly sets Plan Hub apart is its suite of AI-powered tools. These advanced features streamline the way users search for and interact with planning documents, offering a smarter and more efficient approach to city planning.
The AI Assistant allows users to ask simple questions and receive direct answers from the documents, along with page references for easy navigation. This is a game-changer for planners and the public alike, providing quick access to the information they need without having to comb through lengthy reports.
AI Select goes a step further by allowing users to highlight key terms or concepts to get related info or answers from other plans. This feature reduces the time it takes to review connections to related plans and ensures that important details don’t fall between the cracks.
With AI Discovery Terms, Konveio automatically identifies and links key terminology to related plans for easy reference searches. This adds another layer of clarity and makes it easier to understand complex topics that span multiple departments.
Finally, AI ArcGIS Connect links geospatial data to policy information, seamlessly integrating maps into their corresponding plan documents.
Plan Hub now also offers a new “Plan of Plans” feature that provides answers to questions from any plan hosted on Konveio, making it easier to research topics across the whole spectrum of planning document.
