Preface
Multi-scale Building Information Modeling (BIM) has the potential to become a powerful decision support tool for urban planning. It can be used to facilitate many applications in various fields such as wind simulations, energy studies, noise studies and various types of analyses that require placing a planned architectural design in its context and being able to follow its implementation and evolution in an urban context, and connecting it with other urban components such as networks, road infrastructures, etc. The 3D urban model has become an essential support for better communication with all stakeholders on urban issues.
This book presents the theoretical and practical basis for implementing a multi-scale BIM. It addresses the issues of data acquisition, modeling, integration and information sharing in an interoperable framework. The book analyzes and provides the basics of BIM and Geographic Information System (GIS) integration in the context of urban management, a preliminary step to achieve the intelligent and sustainable management of an urban space. This book also presents practical case studies illustrating some aspects of using the concept of multi-scale BIM to address certain urban issues, including the segmentation of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for BIM modeling, the integration of BIM and 3D GIS for property value simulations and the contribution of BIM and 3D GIS to urban renewal.
