A city in northern Israel

Project provisions

  1. Challenge

    City information shown only on a flat map is hard for the public to read, and high-rise development is easier to explain when you can see the city in volume. For residents and stakeholders to understand what is happening, the city needs a public system that also shows it in 3D.

  2. Solution

    We set up a public GIS for the city on ArcGIS with a layer list, and built a 3D scene of the city that users can fly through to look at buildings, streets and the coastline.

  3. Outcome

    Residents, developers and city staff browse the city's layers in a web browser, and can switch to 3D to look at buildings and streets in volume.
