This presentation centers on the transformation of Spring Hill Mall into a vibrant, mixed-use destination through interactive, data-driven 3D GIS visualization. Explore how planners and developers can:

Visualize proposed designs in realistic 3D using platforms such as ArcGIS Pro, Rhino and CityEngine, which offer immersive views of form and context;

Evaluate alternative scenarios, with real-time feedback, on land use impacts, housing, population, and employment, using data-driven dashboards; and

Enhance stakeholder engagement by using interactive tools to illustrate trade-offs, encourage feedback, and encourage collaborative planning.

The Spring Hill Mall Redevelopment bridges the gap between static plan sets and dynamic models, demonstrating how modern GIS tools support equitable and evidence-based decision-making. Leave equipped with practical methods to integrate visualization, scenario evaluation, and community outreach in redevelopment efforts.

Learning Objectives:

Visualize proposed mall redevelopment scenarios in a realistic, interactive, 3D GIS environment, thereby enabling data-driven evaluation of design alternatives.
Evaluate development impacts on land use, housing, population, employment, and amenities.
Communicate planning concepts effectively through immersive visualization tools that enhance stakeholders’ understanding and support equitable community input.
