The use of digital city models has been rapidly adopted by the construction industry, replacing both computer-generated images and physical models.
Digital city models help stakeholders visualise new development plans and they have now become a requirement for an increasing number of local authorities. As well as helping visualise new urban planning landscapes, these models can also be used within facility management, logistics, security, telecommunication, disaster management, location-based services, real estate portals and within entertainment and education products.
Digital city models are fast becoming the industry standard when development plans are being considered. Associated professionals including architects, landowners and developers will need to both understand and plan for future requirements for the production of a 3D city model.
