3D Community Planning

Archeire – A little help. I’m working on delivery of a 10 year community action plan for a densely populated part of London. At present we are mapping and baselining the area in terms of population and service provision and looking at both current and future service gaps given anticipated population changes e.g building 1000 housing units will require more school places, public transport, sports facilities etc. I am strongly of the opinion that this local plan needs to be intimately tied to planning policy for the area e.g the dearth of cultural facilities be explicitly noted in planning guidance and cultural developments favoured.
The advice I’m seeking is with regard to an idea we’ve been bashing around the office. Want to air it here in a neutral space before taking it back to head office. Here goes:
– Develop a full area profile against population – housing – health – education – crime – density etc. etc. etc.
– 2D map this information (already existing) so as to be available on the web.
– Develop a 3D model of the area – either as a job (increasing sophisticated over time) or in a piece meal in response to individual planning applications
– Index service provision – this is the difficult bit thus far – as in 10,000 people (of xyz demographic) need 2 GPs – 45 school places – 2 extra tube trains etc.
– The purpose is really where new developments are proposed. Imagine a new Supermarket and 500 flats are proposed. The developer’s proposal would be plugged into the 3D model and this model would score the resulting consequences on service demand – health – education – public transport etc. It would also be available to the public on-line. Further it would automate large parts of the planning system and section 106 agreements over here (the amount of money / housing units the developer must give over to the community).
– In summary I’m looking to combine census/atlas data with a community database that is available on the web and maps all this material in 3D – that map being a very sophisticated planning and community modeling tool.– My questions here are:
(i) can anybody point me in the right direction re current such projects – research – books?
(ii) what do you think – is this the future of planning?regards, Shane

I think I have this data at home. I’ll post it tomorrow if I get a chance.
