Abstract

There is little research on tools and techniques that support the assessment of urban growth in the vertical dimension and none, to our knowledge, regarding the use of 3D visualization and modelling for the assessment of TOD. Our claim is that this type of assessment would aid the ability of the urban planner to communicate the impacts and interactions of different urban systems that require a vertical or 3D visualization. In this study, we discuss how 3D visualization can be used for assessment of TOD in the context of the 3Ds of the built environment: Density, Design and Diversity (Cervero and Kockelman, 1997). A design-framework to broadly depict the process of adopting “3D visualization and modelling” applied to the TOD assessment, within the “3Ds of the built environment” framework will be discussed. Our case study is the area around Nijmegen train station in the Netherlands.
