UrbanSim

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.

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.
