Eyes in the Sky, Feet on the Ground: A Municipal Framework for Emerging Drone Technologies (May 2025)
As drone technology rapidly evolves, cities face unprecedented challenges in balancing innovation with public safety, privacy rights and existing land use frameworks. This presentation examines a detailed case study of drone operations in urban environments, analyzing how municipalities can develop adaptive regulatory approaches that accommodate beneficial drone uses while protecting community interests. Through examining real-world examples of commercial drone applications, from delivery services to building inspections, this presentation explores practical strategies for creating flexible yet robust land use policies that can serve as a model for addressing future technological disruptions.
