Planning Congress 2025 Podcast Episode 06 - Disinformation in the City

The Planning Institute of Australia has once again partnered with UrbanTalk to create a series of podcast in the lead up to the Planning Congress 2025 in Darwin. We speak with Ika Trijsburg, who leads the Disinformation in the City project across five Australian universities, and in 2024 was the lead author of the world first Disinformation in the City Response Playbook.

Planning is not an area commonly associated with disinformation, but recent narratives and campaigns have caused the issue to burst onto the planning scene. Ika talks about just how much of a threat disinformation poses to planning, some of the knock-on effects and strategies to respond to disinformation.
