Graphical Analysis for Town Planners

Gradient Map

TechArt was recently able to help some Town Planners and their clients by doing a comparative analysis of various sites they were considering for development.  The first step was to produce a gradient map of the district they were considering.  This allowed the planners to quickly determine the various areas suitable for development.  Flowing from that analysis was a Viewshed analysis.  

Viewshed Analysis

Using a 3D computer graphics program TechArt was able to produce a map showing the various areas that could view a specific site under consideration.  This analysis was preformed for a small number of alternative locations.  Providing a clear indication of which sites would have the largest visual impact on the surrounding district.

We try to provide a flexible approach to this type of modelling and can usually tailor our analysis to suit your needs.  Please contact us if you would like to find out more.
