Our Master Planning Projects
1. Regional & Environmental Study
2. Background Study / Existing Conditions Survey
3. Analysis and Forecasting4. Planning Alternatives and
Options5. Final Master Plan
• Traditional workflows do work but are becoming cumbersome.

Workflows
• Two types of workflow– Main project workflow– Process workflows
• Finish one phase so the outputs can be used in the next phase
• Smooth flow of data is critical
Process workflows are Iterative Evaluations

The problem:
• Increasing complexity• Increasing amount of data to analyse• Chaotic nature of projects • Communication • Small office (5 staff)

The Deadline
A Solution to Part of the Problem?
Improving & speeding up of the small but time consuming iterative processes

4 days in SketchUp? ½ a day in CityEngine?
“CityEngine has been transformational for our business”

Our use of CityEngine
• Early use was trying to replicate what we would have done in SketchUp
• Integrating a new workflow can’t always been done over night
• We’re starting to see the payback
• Moving beyond visualisations

Two Choices
Boast Modest

I can build a 3D model of an urban area faster than you

I need convincing background models for our visualisations

Which I can do
“In an ideal case, a planner or designer receives real-time guidance on performance at every phase of
design from early site visit or conceptual sketch to final detail.”
Michael Flaxman, 2009
I can build multiple planning scenarios in less than a day
Clients can see our visualisation work easily & dynamically
I can model urban & data models together
I can easily model the theoretical
I can model the natural
or the fantastical
or the historic
the very small
or the very large
we still give the client what they want
We have adjusted our workflows to ensure smooth data flow
We’ve re-aligned our expectations of what we can do

Our urban areas are growing and they need ‘smart’ solutions
