Using Data to Design Great Cities

Learn how the latest geographic information systems (GIS) technology can help create happier, healthier, more prosperous cities. Research has always played an important role in what architects, designers, and urban planners do.

As we more closely examine equity and sustainability—and how to make our cities better places for everyone to live, work, play—research is especially important. In this Session ARCHITECT's Editor-in-Chief discusses projects driven in part by research using tech tools, including GIS.

Design Smarter: Leveraging GIS, BIM, and Open Data for Better Site Selection & Collaboration

Discover how architecture and planning teams are transforming early-stage design through the integration of GIS, BIM, and open data. In this webinar, Adam Sjödin from Sweco Architects joins Nora Nanov, Esri Product Manager for GIS + BIM, and Marc Goldman, Esri’s Director of AEC Industry Solutions to explore how GIS technology enables architects to work in real-world context from the earliest stages of a project. Together, they’ll showcase real-world examples from Sweco’s projects in Sweden, where municipal open data, Forma, Revit, and web-based GIS come together to enhance site selection, design coordination, and stakeholder collaboration.
