Environmental and Urban Spatial Analysis Based on a 3D City Model

In this paper possible analyses and simulations are presented based on a city modeling process in order to manage realistic approach for city planning within the Smart City concept. The 3D city model was constructed for City of Plock in Poland on Level of Detail 1, 2 and 3. The model consisted of almost 18,000 buildings. The proposed analyses within both environmental and urban fields were directly addressed to issues that the City of Plock is currently struggling with, such as air pollution, solar panels, flood risk, landscape analysis and city management. The paper concludes with the presentation of technological trends as well as data and policies that needs improvement to provide accurate 3D city model analyses.
