Project: URBAN-API

Responsible organisation: Fraunhofer Institute (Consortium)

The project developed 3D Scenario Creators that directly address the issue of stakeholder engagement in the planning process through the development and provision of enhanced virtual reality visualisations of neighbourhood development proposals. The urbanAPI tools developed aims to cover three urban planning contexts: the 3D Scenario Creator directly addresses the issue of stakeholder engagement in the planning process through the development and provision of enhanced virtual reality visualisations of neighbourhood development proposals; the Mobility Explorer provides mobile phone based ICT solutions that permit the analysis and visual representation of socio-economic activity across cities and in relation to the various land-use elements of the city; the Urban Development Simulator provides ICT simulation tools for interactive city region development simulation addressing urban growth and densification with planning interventions.
