3D City
What is it?

3D City is a platform that allows you to view the Buenos Aires Urban Code through three-dimensional representations, showing what constructions are possible on different plots. This tool is useful for both urban developers and residents, clarifying the limits and possibilities established by the code. This platform was developed to simplify and speed up the application of the Urban Planning Code. By making urban planning regulations transparent, 3D City facilitates the presentation of projects and promotes urban development that is more understandable and accessible to all.

What problems does it solve?

3D City addresses the complexity of understanding the Urban Code, offering a visual solution that simplifies the interpretation of regulations for developers and citizens, accelerating the presentation of adapted urban projects.

How does the tool work?

3D interactive map of Buenos Aires. Utilizes geospatial data for accurate representation. Aids in urban planning and management. Provides insights into city structure.

Open standards

Web application integrating mapping technologies and geospatial data. Focused on interactive visualization and navigation of urban environments in 3D.
