INTRODUCTION
A brief overview
 Challenges in
Urban Planning
Fast population growth
Designing Urbans? Inadequate infrastructure
Traffic congestion
Environmental sustainability issues
Social inequality
The delicate task of harmonizing economic
development with the preservation of
cultural heritage.
 Data Analytics
Significance Data analytics is about extracting valuable insights from data to
inform decision-making and identify patterns.

AI
AI mimics human intelligence in computers for tasks like learning
and problem-solving, enabling automation and smart
functionalities.

CityEngine
CityEngine is a software tool for 3D modeling and urban planning,
streamlining the creation of realistic city environments through
procedural generation techniques.

Architectural Integration
Architecture integration is the seamless combination of diverse
elements within a system or project.

CITYENGINE
An Overview
A BRIEF HISTORY
CityEngine, created by
Procedural Inc. founders Pascal
Mueller and Thomas Würthinger in
2008, revolutionized procedural 3D
modeling and urban planning. Esri,
a leading GIS company, acquired
Procedural Inc. in 2011, and
CityEngine has since progressed
under Esri's ownership, playing a
vital role in urban design and
planning solutions.
 Features
CityEngine's key
features include 3D
modeling through
procedural generation,
urban planning tools,
realistic cityscape
creation, and efficient
design workflows.
How CityEngine
can Integrate ICT
ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based mapping
and analysis solution. Use it to make
maps, to analyze data, and to share and
collaborate. Get access to workflow-
specific apps, maps and data from
around the globe, and tools for being
mobile in the field. Your data and maps
are stored in a secure and private
infrastructure and can be configured to
meet your mapping and IT requirements.
