The Environmental Simulations Center (ESC) staff of planners, urban designers, and architects provide innovative place- and performance-based planning, urban design, and regulatory solutions through the design, development and application of digital tools that enhance decision-making.
We have led the development of 3D-GIS and sophisticated performance-based systems and regulations, as well as the design and development of CommunityViz for the Orton Family Foundation, the first GIS-based planning and design decision support software to fully integrate virtual reality with scenario planning, impact analyses, and policy simulation that is linear and non-hierarchical.
