3D visualization of zoning plans

Abstract

Traditionally, zoning plans have been represented in 2D. However, visualizing a zoning plan in 2D has several limitations and for public a zoning plan in 2D is abstract. Here, 3D can help in the understanding. The goal of this research is to explore how a zoning plan can be visualized in 3D and how it can be visualized it is understandable for the public. The research made clear that 3D can help in visualization of heights and a better impression of the plan than a 2D zoning plan. However, the interpretation of zoning plan is still complex.
