Engineers in need of a proven city information modelling solution for exploring, testing and communicating urban masterplans
About CityCAD
Unlike other CAD and GIS software, it was created for urban planners from the beginning, and makes it easy to create 3D models using tried and tested building types and urban typologies. CityCAD offers a quick and easy way of sketching urban masterplans in 3D. Junctions with simple kerb radii are automatically created where routes intersect. If you move roads, then adjacent urban blocks are automatically re-sized. CityCAD offers a range of sophisticated analysis features, giving you quantitative insights into your masterplan from the earliest conceptual design stages. You can create a custom library of land use types and apply these to building floors. You can enter assumptions for electrical and other energy consumption, water use and refuse generation rates (per person, dwelling unit or unit of area) and total values are instantaneously calculated as you build and evolve your design.

3D Cityplanner
Urban (re)development projects can be complex. Besides the engineering complexity, projects involve many stakeholders and experts, often with conflicting interests. This leads to long decision making processes with a suboptimal outcome. The 3D Cityplanner improves cooperation and avoids sub-optimal decision-making. A lot of data is available nowadays, but it is challenging to bring it together. We can ensure that all required data comes together in the system for any location. It is also possible to automatically gather all data of all underlying datasets. 3D Cityplanner is the best tool for quick 3D location analysis. With all the relevant location-specific data at your fingertips, the 3D Cityplanner is the best start for creating a masterplan. The drawing tools and auto-generating options help you make the best plan in no time.

ArcGIS Urban
Issues like housing availability, sustainability goals, and economic changes are compelling cities to better plan for the future. ArcGIS Urban enables planners and design professionals to collaborate across teams with a web-based 3D application that supports scenario planning and impact assessment. ArcGIS Urban enables the digital transformation of city and regional planning to encourage collaboration with community stakeholders and help all groups work toward a more sustainable future. Create, track, and review development projects with a digital twin of your city. Incorporating building information modeling (BIM) and other types of 3D information throughout the project review process gives planners and developers a common view of urban development guidelines and reduces the time required for building applications. ArcGIS Urban makes creating, editing, and managing land-use and zoning plans simple with an interactive 3D environment built with planners in mind.

GREENPASS
While urban growth accelerates worldwide, urban areas are becoming more sensitive to climate change. Urban Heat Islands (UHI), air pollution, and pluvial flooding are major threats to urban development and the health and safety of city populations. Municipalities need to take action to solve urban growth and climate change impacts. GREENPASS helps planners, developers and municipalities make the best decision for each phase of urban planning and development – dealing with up to 6 urban challenges. GREENPASS makes the impacts of green infrastructures and other structural measures on the urban environment visible, measurable, and comparable. GREENPASS offers the right solution for each phase of urban planning processes. From checking drafts to detailed planning and realization. Preliminary analysis based on machine learning database interrogation. Standard analysis based on regular BASIC simulation.
