What is Facility Management in Urban Planning?

Facility Management (FM) in urban planning ensures that city assets—like schools, hospitals, parks, and transit—remain functional, efficient, and sustainable throughout their lifecycle. Far beyond basic maintenance, FM integrates space planning, energy use, and long-term operations into early design. Cities like Singapore, London, and Sydney showcase smart FM practices using IoT, GIS, and digital twins to improve service delivery and reduce costs. By embedding FM into urban planning, stakeholders can enhance livability, reduce environmental impact, and manage resources effectively. Tools like Digital Blue Foam (DBF) help planners design cities with built-in FM considerations, supporting smarter, more resilient infrastructure from day one.
