Honolulu’s Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) continues to implement new software and systems to speed up and modernize its permitting processes, which have historically moved at the speed of sludge. With assistance from a pilot project incorporating artificial intelligence, DPP’s backlog of permit applications waiting for pre-screening has now been eliminated, the city reports.
