Innovation Snapshot

Emerging and Evolving Technology

Leveraging Geospatial Technologies to Support Comprehensive Planning

Saturday, April 25, 2026
12:00 PM - 12:30 PM CT
Location: HPCC, Room 430A
CM: .5
This innovation snapshot introduces planners to leading-edge geospatial tools that address common challenges in comprehensive planning. See how ArcGIS Online Dashboards can enhance community engagement by providing dynamic, interactive platforms for real-time feedback and transparent communication. By empowering residents to participate directly in decision-making, these tools help overcome barriers of low participation and foster inclusivity.

Presenters highlight how ArcGIS Urban supports scenario modeling to evaluate long-term impacts on infrastructure, transportation, and community well-being, thereby enabling planners to anticipate outcomes of development choices with greater confidence.

Explore how City Engine, integrated with NVIDIA Omniverse, enables rapid creation of immersive 3D land use scenarios. These interactive visualizations make complex planning concepts more accessible to stakeholders, strengthening communication and building consensus around future plans.
