Nottingham-3D
Digital transformation Digital Twin Technology Drives Nottingham's City Center Renewal Like most urban centers, the city of Nottingham, England, has a rich history and strong cultural heritage, but it has been hampered for more than a decade by remnants of past retail and industrial patterns. The city’s Broadmarsh Centre shopping mall stood mostly vacant. Several former manufacturing sites needed to be cleaned up and repurposed. Train and bus transport hubs looked drab and required costly maintenance. Nottingham City Council met these challenges with an ambitious revitalisation plan that included new parks, office space, and housing. Nottingham planners created and shared their vision for what the city center could become, using a 3D digital twin built with ArcGIS Urban and other geographic information system (GIS) technology. The digital twin combines a 3D object model, real-world scans of buildings, and location-specific planning data to guide planning decisions. Learn more
