Affordable Housing: How to Build Greenspace in Community Planning

Greenspaces are crucial to affordable housing because of their positive impact on physical and mental health, their ability to reduce heat islands, and how they act as a social function for the community to connect. Here is a proposal project of a park being created in 3D using ArcGIS Urban, a web-based solution that applies GIS technology to urban planning. In addition to helping you design, manage, and measure urban developments, ArcGIS Urban allows you to visualize citywide plans and projects in one place for collaboration among stakeholders. This series of videos support the blog “Community planning for affordable housing”.
