I’m Tim Mayoh, an incoming MSc student at CASA (UCL Bartlett), exploring the intersection of planning systems, spatial analysis, and civic technology. This site acts as a public research notebook — a space to prototype tools, reflect on methods, and examine how planning operates as a form of spatial governance.
My focus is on UK planning, but the themes extend more widely: the legibility of decision-making, the role of discretion in complex systems, and the tension between procedural form and real-world outcomes. The tools and experiments shared here are open-source and exploratory — some are intended to support actual planning workflows, while others ask more conceptual questions about how judgement, evidence, and policy interact.
This work sits within CASA’s broader interest in modelling urban systems: not to simulate outcomes for their own sake, but to better understand how institutions function, how choices are made, and how digital tools might support more accountable and intelligible forms of planning.
