The term "urban" refers to cities, towns, villages, suburbs, and other areas that are built up in close proximity to each other.
Urban planning is the process of making decisions about how cities should grow and develop over time. It's also known as urban policymaking. Urban designers help plan for the physical environment of a place by considering issues such as transportation, housing, and environmental sustainability. They may also consider aesthetics, culture, and social equity when they're thinking about what makes a good neighborhood.
The 3D Cityplanner is a 3D software tool in a browser that visualizes and calculates urban development plans intuitively. A large number of aspects like finances, land use and sustainability can be considered and calculated. It’s a tool that integrates design and calculations. In recent years, this is also called GeoDesign: planning and designing spatial plans, using all available Geo-information and simulations.
