3D GIS Application for Urban Planning Based on 3D City Model Track: Application Development Author(s): Masahiko Murata In major cities in Japan, various issues emerged appeared in urban development projects. Visual presentations are recognized as powerful tools for the project committee to reach a consensus. A 3D GIS application prototype was developed to visualize the existing state of cities and to perform simulations of district development plan. In this application, the high-resolution 3D city model is introduced, combined with the 2D urban planning database. The Application was developed based on ArcView 8 and the 3D Analyst extension with ArcObjects to analyze and visualize existing buildings, regulations for urban planning, and results of simulations.
