Development Impact Analysis can be used to evaluate proposed developments and assess their impact on solar radiation, shadows, and viewsheds in a community.
It provides specialized workflows to produce information products for a comprehensive planning review. This optimized approach helps create powerful 3D visuals that can be used to inform stakeholders and improve public involvement in the development process. Development Impact Analysis is typically implemented by planning departments, design firms, and other local government agencies that want to create effective visualizations that highlight the impact of proposed developments.
The Development Impact Analysis solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you create solar radiation maps, evaluate how proposed developments will cast shadows on existing buildings, and review the impact on viewsheds.
