GIS intelligence for a cutting-edge management of 3D cities

A groundbreaking approach to urban management using GIS technology has been developed, offering a dynamic and upgradeable 3D modeling system for UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This methodology, applied to Urbino's historic center, integrates geomorphological and historical data to provide comprehensive spatial analysis of the city's evolution from Roman settlements to its current state. The system focuses on managing urban elements' composition, geometric characteristics, conservation status, and monitoring interventions, all within a geodatabase environment that supports real-time updates. This innovative framework enhances urban area enjoyment while also supporting decision-making and planning processes.
