  Visualizing Urban Density

  York Region Planning is leveraging the 3D modelling technologies and dynamic geospatial platforms to better understand how densities look and feel around Major Transit Station Areas, other transit nodes and in new communities being planned. This presentation will discuss the impetus for visualizing densities at York Region, how best to communicate the look and feel of density targets through different platforms, discuss projects that visualize hypothetical Major Transit Station Areas and actual Centres and Corridors in the Region, and share visualizations created to date
  

  Presenters: 

  Jeff Hignett, Senior Planner – Centres, Corridors, and Subways, Regional Municipality of York

  • Municipal & First Nation Mapping and Data development
  • Emergency Management Data Collection (Flooding, Fire, Leaks & Spills)
  • Inspection & Investigation
  • Surveying and Volume Calculation
  • Cinematic videography for Charity and Community events 

  This application and knowledge of the RPAS industry has afforded the opportunity to develop solutions to exceed the expectations of clients by offering significant savings through RPAS efficiencies.

  This presentation will highlight some of the examples of drone use listed above.
