Hello ArcGIS Enterprise users! Exciting news: ArcGIS Urban is available on Enterprise for the first time with the release of ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3.

ArcGIS Urban on Enterprise for Windows and Linux offers a secure and compliant solution for organizations to extend the use of their GIS for urban planning. Whether it’s analyzing the impacts of zoning regulation changes or tracking projects in the development pipeline, ArcGIS Urban provides a comprehensive suite of features to support data-driven planning decisions.

Streamline urban planning processes with security and compliance 

ArcGIS Urban addresses a common challenge where planners may not have easy access to relevant GIS data that could help them make faster, data-driven decisions during the planning process.

With spatial data already managed in your Enterprise deployment, such as your own local 3D data and satellite imagery, your planning team can create an accurate and realistic 3D model of your city, town, or region. With that urban model, you can…

• 💡Experiment with zoning and land-use changes
  Add your own local regulation information and assess the potential impact of changes through various zoning and land use scenarios.
• 🏗️ Track city-wide planning activities
  Track proposals and ongoing projects in the development pipeline with a city-wide view that can be shared with stakeholders for greater transparency.
• 🏘️ Assess building proposals in context
  Catch potential issues before construction begins by uploading or sketching buildings to evaluate potential adverse effects on the surrounding area.
• 📊 Visualize and communicate complex planning concepts
  Share interactive 3D models and dashboards to help stakeholders more easily understand the impacts of various development changes or decisions.

Advantages of ArcGIS Urban on ArcGIS Enterprise

Deploying ArcGIS Urban on Enterprise leverages your organization’s performance and scalability capabilities, while providing planning teams with an easier way to access and use GIS data. You can also connect to your own user-managed data sources to be used in ArcGIS Urban. 

Another key benefit is the ability to leverage the existing security infrastructure of your organization’s Enterprise deployment. This is especially important in countries and jurisdictions where data sovereignty laws, like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), are in effect. For more information about the benefits, see ArcGIS Urban on ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3.
