In the dynamic landscape of urbanization, migration towards cities is an undeniable trend. With this migration comes a myriad of challenges, notably the exponential rise in land costs and the often haphazard nature of urban development.

Building the Urban Impact Analyzer: Behind the Scenes
To bring this app to life, we employed a variety of backend tools including Grasshopper, Urbano, Rhino Compute, Vue.Js, and Three.Js.
GRASSHOPPER +URBANO
Our journey begins by establishing a foundational Grasshopper file using Urbano, which facilitates data extraction from Open Source Maps. This data undergoes refinement through various Grasshopper components, transforming it into a comprehensible format. Once processed, the data is analyzed to provide easily digestible results, even for those without technical expertise.
Vue.Js + Three.Js
After verifying the functionality of our script through Hops Script testing, we transition to UI/UX development using Vue.Js and Three.Js. These frontend technologies ensure a seamless and engaging user experience.

The Urban Impact Analyzer
Currently tailored for Indian metropolitan cities, specifically Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and Delhi, the Urban Impact Analyzer offers users a simple yet powerful interface.
Upon entering the app, users are prompted to select their city and the type of building they envision. They can personalize their project by providing a customized name, adding a personal touch to the experience. From there, users can adjust parameters such as plot number, area per person, and building height to align with their specific requirements.
With its user-friendly design and comprehensive features, we hope the Urban Impact Analyzer serves as a valuable tool for architects, designers, planners, builders, investors, and everyday individuals alike, fostering sustainable and harmonious urban development
