Yes, and it is a career change move. A smart city consultant already covers 24% of what a land planner is expected to do: 8 skills carry over, 5 of which the land planner role treats as required.

14 required skills are missing, plus 16 optional ones. They fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by engineering, manufacturing and construction. The single most important is advise on architectural matters.

Its learning distance is 75.2 out of 100, which is the career change band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
