Improving Planning Productivity with ArcGIS Urban

Want to be able to visualize the effects of proposed policy changes or development on your city—with just a few clicks? Discover the power of ArcGIS Urban, Esri’s advanced GIS solution for urban planning, which boosts the productivity of planning departments by streamlining complex analysis. In this demonstration, see how ArcGIS Urban can be used to visualize the effects of policy changes on a municipality, better understand current zoning conditions, analyze line of sight and shadow cast, identify appropriate areas for major transit development, explore the potential of affordable housing and more. These powerful geospatial tools help communicate the effects of policy changes with stakeholders, including members of the public, and model potential future scenarios. Urban planners can use ArcGIS Urban to discover new insights about their cities, as well as about proposed policy changes or new design proposals.
