An Integrated Information Model to Support Metropolitan Planning, Management and Analysis

Current strategic metropolitan planning is compromised by limited access to information from the diverse sources of geospatial data required for reliable analysis and effective decision making. This project will employ an integrated 3D geospatial information model to research a range of likely social, economic and environmental outcomes of urban renewal proposals in two major case study locations relevant to the Sydney Metropolitan Strategy. The research makes use of the latest international open standards for linking, for the first time, the three tiers of land, urban and building information data to undertake analysis of strategic urban planning proposals.
