The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s City Planning Department has created a 3D city planning map which is now online. The 3D city map includes traffic routes and infrastructure systems, which will we be added to with help from the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency. To date there are 990 3D structures out of a total [...]

This may be a perennial question, as certainly the rise and promise of universal 3D geovisualization keeps coming in waves that are similar to the promise of location-based services. With each wave, we all ride the crest, and perhaps a few move toward the ongoing capture and visualization of our geographies beyond just a project [...]

There is a great deal in common between Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information System (GIS) approaches, particularly with the larger BIM associated with the “building of” infrastructure projects or analysis of planning options. At this week’s Autodesk University, I moderated a debate regarding BIM or GIS as the way to move forward for [...]

Greg Bentley discusses the next wave of digital city modeling as the “Semantic City,” where connections and interactions between systems accomplishes better continuity and better performance. With greater interoperability, there is also the opportunity to better model and simulate the holistic performance of the city, particularly in response to events. The key to achieve this [...]

The world is rapidly becoming more urbanized, having achieved a milestone of 50% of the population living in cities just a few years ago, this is projected to explode to 70% by 2070. The frenzy of construction that is needed to house millions more in an urban setting comes with a chance to rethink and [...]
