Questions and Answers

Below are several answers to questions that are frequently asked.


How to design....

Many questions are about the design of cities (fictitious cities, sustainable cities or city blocks). We try to answer some.

To design a city, you can use the 3D Cityplanner. Just zoom in to a certain location and immediately see all existing buildings. By entering a project plan and drawing in new buildings, you get an impression of the new situation.


With the 3D Cityplanner it is easy to design cities and neighbourhoods that are sustainable. A more sustainable setting is created by opting for more green space and water or choosing a parking-free layout.

You can use the 3D Cityplanner to design a fictional city. You could go to a large area where there are no existing buildings and then make a project plan there. You can then add buildings and other functions there. You can then export the result to another environment if you want to develop it further.

There is specific software for this purpose. Maybe the 3D Cityplanner is not the best option for this purpose.

You can also use the 3D Cityplanner to design a city for a game. You could go to a large area where there are no existing buildings and then make a project plan there. You can then add buildings and other functions there. You can then export the result to another environment if you want to develop it further.

With the 3D Cityplanner it is easy to design a city layout in 3D. The 3D Cityplanner has a global database of all buildings around the world. With the advanced drawing tools and automatic generation of urban areas, you can create new cities with ease.

You can use the 3D Cityplanner to design a fantasy city. You could go to a large area where there are no existing buildings and then make a project plan there. You can then add buildings and other functions there. You can then export the result to another environment if you want to develop it further.

More and more cities are getting smarter. Data is collected everywhere and used to control processes in the city. Think of lampposts that only turn on when someone is nearby, a waste bin that indicates that it must be emptied or a parking app that shows where there is still space available in the city.

The 3D Cityplanner supports data-driven design. By using online data as much as possible, you can take smart-city options into account when designing the city.

The 3D Cityplanner has a global database of all buildings (in 3D) around the world. With the advanced drawing tools and automatic generation of urban areas, you can create new cities with ease.

With the 3D Cityplanner it is easy to design buildings. The 3D Cityplanner has a global database of all buildings around the world. With the advanced drawing tools and automatic generation of urban areas, you can create new cities with ease.

It's very easy to create a city or rebuild parts of a city. The 3D Cityplanner has a global database of all buildings around the world. With the advanced drawing tools and automatic generation of urban areas, you can create new cities with ease.

With the 3D Cityplanner you can design a city scene. The 3D Cityplanner has a global database of all buildings around the world. With the advanced drawing tools and automatic generation of urban areas, you can create new cities with ease.

About Urban Development....

In addition to questions about using the 3D Cityplanner, there are also many questions about urban development.

Urban planning, also known as regional planning, town planning, city planning, or rural planning, is a technical and political process that is focused on the development and design of land use and the built environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks and their accessibility. The 3D Cityplanner tool is a new approach to support urban planners to achieve their goals.

A housing department aims to provide housing and community development assistance and make sure everyone has access to housing.

Within an area development department, there are different functions. Urban planners are employed to draw up new plans. The financial engineers calculate the monetary consequences. GIS experts use data to analyse the current location.

The 3D Cityplanner is an excellent tool that the various stakeholders can use in the area development department.

The 3D Cityplanner distinguishes various costs that play a role in the development of an area. First, the acquisition of the area. Depending on the current or future function of the site, an area is worth a specific amount of money. A plot of land intended for residential purposes has more value than land for agricultural use.

Then there are the costs of demolishing the existing area and buildings. In the 3D Cityplanner this is automatically calculated based on a prefix. The site must then be prepared for construction (think of constructing roads and parking spaces), and sewerage must be installed. Then buildings are constructed. These buildings generate money, but they also cost money. The difference between these is the money that is used to build the area (at least a part of it).

The income from area development mainly consists of the sale of land, the rental or sale of buildings. You can easily analyse this in the 3d Cityplanner. By entering projects and drawing in buildings, you can also immediately define the revenues.
