Autodesk Presents Digital Cities Vision at AGI GeoCommunity ‘08

Platinum sponsor chooses conference to share cutting edge digital city initiative in the UK

A vision of 3D Digital Cities will be presented in the UK in a keynote speech by Geoff Zeiss, Director of Technology at Autodesk at the annual conference – AGI GeoCommunity 08 – of the Association for Geographic Information. The conference takes place on 23 – 25 September at the Holiday Inn, Stratford-upon-Avon, U.K.

The convergence of Autodesk’s model-driven architectural and engineering design including building information modeling (BIM), geospatial, and 3D visualization technology provides a collaborative environment for analyzing, simulating and visualizing the impact of urban design and economic development decisions on a city-wide scale. Autodesk recently announced the signing of an agreement for a pilot project with the City of Salzburg, Austria to assist in the development of a 3D model, which will enable Salzburg as part of a public consultation process to analyse and visualize the impact of urban planning, tourism and economic development decisions.
