Introduction
The platform brings together public authorities, developers, and the public to visualise planning policies, assess constraints, and explore opportunities in a single space. By offering clear and detailed 3D models of urban environments, VU.CITY helps local authorities better communicate planning policies, ensuring that all stakeholders—whether public or private—understand the implications of proposed changes.
VU.CITY addresses the lack of uniformity in planning tools by streamlining policy visualisation and enabling swift assessment of proposals. This reduces ambiguity, fosters transparency, and builds trust among all parties, ultimately saving time and improving decision-making. The platform empowers local authorities to future-proof cities and create more efficient, sustainable urban environments.
