Smart city planning made simple
Encourage collaboration with stakeholders to create an inclusive and more sustainable future for your community.
Visualize projects citywide
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.
Design 3D scenarios
ArcGIS Urban makes creating, editing, and managing land-use and zoning plans simple with an interactive 3D environment built with planners in mind. Evaluating the impact of zoning and land-use changes in a study area is key to saving time and money while balancing precious resources. Through detailed indicators and analytics, ArcGIS Urban also enables the creation of on-the-fly scenarios to help visualize the areas that would be impacted by proposed urban developments.
Guide change and measure impact
Incorporate data-driven land-use scenarios based on factors like population change, economic growth, and current zoning codes for a plan that is more resilient and responsive. By incorporating ArcGIS Urban into a comprehensive planning process, planners can more easily assess land-use changes to meet future demand.
Enable digital engagement
Clearly communicate proposals and increase buy-in by providing easy-to-understand visualizations and metrics. Reach new audiences and boost access to key demographic groups by incorporating online comments and surveys that increase public engagement.
How does ArcGIS Urban work?

Establish a digital twin
Replicate 3D buildings, rights-of-way, or other citywide infrastructure with ease for a holistic view of current or future development efforts.
Start a digital planning and building process
Accelerate policy making with a scenario-driven process to create land-use plans, update zoning codes, and evaluate development proposals on the fly.
Monitor and support your goals
Support decision-making with key performance indicators that help you navigate uncertainty in short-term projects while balancing long-term policies.
