Description

Challenges such as housing shortages, sustainability initiatives, and shifts in the economy are motivating urban areas to enhance their future planning strategies. With ArcGIS Urban, planning professionals and designers can work together seamlessly through a web-based 3D platform that facilitates scenario analysis and impact evaluations. This tool fosters a digital evolution in city and regional planning, promoting teamwork with community stakeholders and aligning various parties towards a more eco-friendly future. Users can create, monitor, and assess development initiatives using a digital twin representation of their city. By integrating building information modeling (BIM) and various 3D datasets throughout the project review stages, ArcGIS Urban provides a unified perspective of urban development regulations, significantly streamlining the building application process. Moreover, the platform simplifies the creation, modification, and management of land-use and zoning plans within an engaging 3D environment designed specifically for planners, ensuring a more efficient workflow and improved decision-making. This innovative approach not only enhances collaboration but also empowers communities to envision and shape their urban landscapes effectively.

Description

In contrast to other CAD and GIS applications, this software was specifically designed with urban planners in mind from its inception, facilitating the creation of 3D models that utilize established building styles and urban forms. CityCAD provides a streamlined and efficient method for drafting urban masterplans in three dimensions. When routes intersect, junctions are formed with straightforward kerb radii automatically. Moreover, if you adjust the positioning of roads, the surrounding urban blocks are resized automatically. This software also includes an array of advanced analytical tools, offering valuable quantitative insights into your masterplan during the initial conceptual design phases. Users can build a personalized library of land use categories and assign these to different building floors. Additionally, you can input estimates for energy consumption, water usage, and waste generation rates (calculated per person, dwelling unit, or area unit), with total figures being computed in real-time as you develop and refine your design. This capability allows for a more responsive and informed planning process, enabling users to make adjustments based on immediate feedback.
