What is UrbanSim?

Facilitate the planning and assessment of urban growth by examining the intricate connections between land usage, transportation networks, economic dynamics, and environmental issues. Explore how different infrastructure choices and policy measures influence community outcomes, such as accessibility for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, affordability of housing, greenhouse gas emission levels, and the safeguarding of open spaces and environmentally sensitive regions. Swiftly establish and launch UrbanSim simulations that leverage the benefits of cloud technology. Deliver practical insights that can be easily understood by users of all skill levels. The UrbanSim block-level framework comes preloaded with employment, household, and socioeconomic information for approximately 400 Metropolitan Planning Organizations across the United States, complemented by street maps from OpenStreetMap to accurately assess accessibility metrics. This thorough methodology guarantees that urban planners are equipped to make educated decisions that promote sustainable development and enhance the quality of life within communities. Furthermore, by integrating advanced data analysis and visualization tools, planners can continuously refine their strategies to meet the evolving needs of urban populations.
