TREES, ACCURATE TO HEIGHT & CANOPY
BUILDINGS

Manchester continues to lead the way in the north of England in all aspects of the built environment, whether it's the ever-growing skyline providing the highest level of urban living or the re-invention and regeneration of the boroughs of Greater Manchester.

Manchester is firmly advocating the net zero green agenda in all its planning with the belt around the city centre providing more and more green space for its '15 minute neighbourhood' concept. VU.CITY enables all stakeholders involved to collaborate and make this vision a reality.

Architects, planners, developers and local authorities are turning to the UK’s most accurate digital twin and embracing the digital revolution in planning: VU.CITY Manchester includes coverage of Rochdale, Salford, Trafford and Stockport.

Architects, such as SimpsonHaugh, have realised that VU.CITY Manchester is the quickest way to visualize a development in context and prevent costs and subscriptions to data sources spiraling out of control long term when assessing a site’s feasibility.

There are so many advantages to using VU.CITY’s 3D digital twin technology, from being able to understand and assess a site’s opportunities and challenges, testing refined designs in context, enhancing pre-app conversations and planning submissions, to improving how everyone involved collaborates.
