VU.CITY Hub

VU.CITY addresses fundamental questions: if a development is built, what will it look like, who will it affect, and how will it affect them? VU.CITY provides clarity for the built environment by combining the power of data with the largest, most accurate 3D digital city models. This platform helps users understand the implications of change in the built environment, currently operating in cities like London, Manchester, Birmingham, Brighton, and Belfast, among others. By visualizing proposed buildings in context, VU.CITY significantly speeds up the planning process. Decisions related to height, bulk, townscape, heritage, and views can be made collaboratively, engaging the design team, clients, consultants, and local authorities in real time. Data overlays—including listed buildings, transport access (PTAL), distances and duration of travel, pollution levels, pricing, opportunity areas, and local frameworks—are immediately available and visible within the 3D environment. Speeding up the decision-making process reduces the time and costs associated with planning delivery, ultimately helping to bring schemes to market quicker, smarter, and more affordably.
