2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Using 3D GIS to Sell Development Solutions to a Non-Technical Audience Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Mike Gritz, Jorge Morteo Public participation is an essential part of the planning process. Taking 2D GIS data and representing it in 3D "virtual reality" helps the public, elected officials and local planners understand the impact of proposed developments. This presentation will include actual live examples of how the City of Las Vegas Planning & Development department has applied "real-time" 3D GIS technology in the public participation process to build consensus between developers, planners & elected officials/planning commissioners. Examples will include a downtown Las Vegas redevelopment project, a proposed 23-court tennis complex, a proposed seven story multiuse senior housing development in the downtown Las Vegas redevelopment area, and several more, time permitting. A very visual and entertaining session, GIS users will see how to build and analyze various development scenarios before ever breaking ground. No VBA, VB, or Avenue, just ArcView.
