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. As cities expand, there’s a pressing need for thoughtful and strategic construction that not only addresses the demands of a growing population but also harmonizes with the surrounding environment.

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.
