Simple Architecture for a Living 3D Model of the Metropolis Jeff Amero, City of Cambridge Carolyn Bennett, Boston Redevelopment Authority Presenter: Paul Cote cultivating spatial intelligence
Metropolitan Scale 3D Cambridge Boston Geodesign Summit 1/23/2015 Amero, Bennett, Cote 2
Goals: Improve Planning Effectiveness Provide 3D context for planning and design: o Current conditions o Historical conditions o Approved projects o Proposed future scenarios Improve public information & participation Provide context for public safety applications Geodesign Summit 1/23/2015 Amero, Bennett, Cote 3
Principles: Information Stewardship Information created by consultants and in-house analysts should be consolidated. Updates and improvements to model should be distributed. Exchange 3D models with design applications Maintain catalog of proposals & source documents. Remember past form of the city Geodesign Summit 1/23/2015 Amero, Bennett, Cote 4

Challenges Developers share information only when required Designers must be sold on new information sources and new tools. Learning Curve for GIS Staff: o Data management requirements are simple. o 3D model QA and transformations requires training. Geodesign Summit 1/23/2015 Amero, Bennett, Cote 23
Next Steps: Model Development Prepare & share sandbox models for master-plan areas. Olympics sites??? Create bridge models & improve viaducts. Improve models of distinctive buildings. Model projects in approval pipeline. Create 3D zoning themes Geodesign Summit 1/23/2015 Amero, Bennett, Cote 24
Next Steps Web Development Develop web-based city-wide model ArcGIS Portal) Develop tiled sandbox models for sharing on web. Develop custom webscene viewer for WebGL scenes Geodesign Summit 1/23/2015 Amero, Bennett, Cote 25
Next Steps: Outreach Reach out to in-house planners and authorities. Connect with BRA Urban Design Technology Group Reach out to design community. Advance protocols for submitting models Training for city workers: GIS and Design Training / information for developers and consultants Geodesign Summit 1/23/2015 Amero, Bennett, Cote 26
