Planning by its nature is an act of visualizing the future. 3D GIS offers a powerful tool to show the physical representation of future development while acting as an analytical platform to gauge the impacts of growth. Bergmann Associates has leveraged its GIS capabilities and Planning Discipline to develop powerful 3D GIS basemaps and application functionality to support common planning needs. Using a single platform, Planners can test build-out scenarios to gauge the physical impacts of a plan while getting real-time feedback on key sustainability indicators.
