London data layers for contextual viability
From transportation and zoning to environmental factors, the data layers in VU.CITY’s London 3D model provide essential insights for more informed and confident decision-making.
The Greater London Authority's (GLA) London Plan sets the city’s planning framework with policies relating to the massing, density and height of new developments. These apply across every borough and a 3D digital platform, such as VU.CITY, can demonstrate the much-needed context and impact of every new project in a visual and easily digestible way.
VU.CITY London is the largest and most accurate interactive model of the capital—built to support better, faster, and more cost-effective decisions across the built environment. Covering all 1,619 sq km of London to 15cm accuracy, it combines powerful functionality with rich data to help you explore, assess, and deliver projects with confidence.
Over 80% of London boroughs already use VU.CITY: improving pre-app through open, transparent conversations about density and height; giving planning submissions and committees better insight on how a scheme will work in context; and allaying anxieties by helping citizens understand a scheme’s impact and merits in public consultations.
Architects such as Foster + Partners, BDP, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, Bennetts Associates and Farrells have also seen the many benefits of using VU.CITY on projects. VU.CITY London has helped them improve communications with clients, win contracts, and create an inclusive narrative with all stakeholders – local authorities, project teams, politicians and communities – on how schemes will work and succeed.
