    Description

    As urban areas expand, the challenge is clear: evolve into sustainable and inclusive environments or risk growing disparities and instability. Many of the challenges we are trying to overcome are inherently spatial, so we must first understand their immediate surroundings in order to bring solutions to the table. Urban & Infrastructure projects should be able to collect and manage data to identify needs and prioritize them. Through the integration of BIM and GIS, we can adopt a geographic and holistic approach to overcome the challenges ahead of us by enabling the project to be visualized and assessed in that real-world context allowing professionals to enhance project understanding. In this talk, you will learn how to implement GIS (Geographic Information Systems) interoperability with BIM (Building Information Modeling) in early-stage planning to create inclusive and welcoming cities.

    Key Learnings

    • Identify urban issues and the importance of making cities more inclusive by eliminating architectural and cultural barriers.
    • Expand the understanding of projects in the context of their location by visualizing data and improving decision-making.
    • Learn about the benefits of using Autodesk's BIM software integrated with GIS software.
