ArcGIS Urban: An Introduction
- Tuesday, Jul 12, 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM PDT
- Session Type: Technical Workshop (Intermediate)
- Access Type: In-Person, Recorded (recording available August 11, 2022)
ArcGIS Urban is a web-based 3D scenario planning tool for creating land use and zoning plans, and keeping track of development updates within a digital twin of your city. Traditional processes are being reorganized and every aspect transferred to online platforms. The “mainstreaming” of geospatial tools to enable adaptation and scenario planning work best if integrated into the everyday planning practice. Attend this session for an introduction to ArcGIS Urban, its latest released features and how to get started with it in your own community.
