Measure impact as you plan

Make urban analysis part of the 3D modelling process by establishing baselines for key performance indicators like number of households, trip generation, and energy consumption. 

What you can do with ArcGIS Urban

Calculate proposal impact in real time

Simplify early-stage planning with real-time urban analytics and visualisations. Compare and iterate conceptual designs with on key capacity metrics. Evaluate simple growth metrics like population or number of jobs, or complex ones like expenditure and revenue of developments in dynamic dashboards.

Identify areas of potential

Perform site suitability analysis by layering multiple datasets, and then adjust weights to criteria like zoning types, maximum building height, and existing building age. Changes to weights will automatically reflect in the scoring, saving you time and resources when identifying suitable locations for development.

Leverage your GIS data

Access essential planning data layers, such as zoning and parcel boundaries, along with contextual data directly from your organisation's GIS repository and maintain a seamless dataflow with support for coordinate systems. Data you create in ArcGIS Urban, such as suitability analysis, project reviews, and rezoning, can be easily integrated back into your GIS, ensuring up-to-date urban analytics for future decision-making.

USE CASE

Impact analysis

Ensure that your next comprehensive plan update considers the effects of different planning strategies on the community with scenarios designed to evaluate key metrics for specific parcels, districts, and neighbourhoods. See how aspern Seestadt’s 3D geospatial digital twin lets planners and architects measure progress against the original development plan and examine future scenarios.
