Abstract
 Using 3D GIS Simulation for Urban Planning and Design Track: New Technology and System Integration Author(s): Do-Hyung Kim, Ilir Bejleri The Florida town of High Springs joins University of Florida to develop a vision for the revitalization of its historic town center. An essential component of this effort is the ability to communicate to the citizens the present physical and socio-economic conditions and interactively visualize the proposed design alternatives. To achieve this objective the design team uses 3D GIS to simulate several "before and after" scenarios. This paper will discuss several key elements for the development of the 3D database and the real-time 3D visual simulation as well as the ability to interactively query and display the associated GIS information using ArcGlobe. The paper will provide a methodology for developing 3D urban photo-realistic symbology for ArcGIS using a combination of 3D modeling and soft photogrammetry software. In addition, the paper will address issues relative to advantages of interactive real-time visualization and current limitations of this technology for urban planning and urban design.
