Abstract
Urbanization presents opportunities and challenges, particularly in the context of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).1 Ensuring that cities are inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable2 requires framing innovative urban planning processes. This paper presents an interactive and participatory3-Dimensional geospatial analysis and visualization framework, for the development of urban environmental assessments. The framework allows for the evaluation of environmental impacts linked to land use and reallocation strategies, to streamline urban planning scenario testing informed by environmental considerations. A case study is presented for a neighborhood in the Brussels Capital Region (BCR), where environmental indicators are integrated on a 3-Dimensional, parcel-by-parcel basis. These indicators encompass representations of the built environment, green spaces, soil, and geology, providing essential support to experts and developers in the decision- making process. Environmental assessments are necessary for identifying potential environmental impacts that are a priority for consideration in urban decision-making processes.3 These assessments play a vital role in contributing to the development of sustainable urban proposals.4 However, the understanding and adoption of urban environmental assessments remains a significant challenge for many stakeholders. To tackle these challenges, this research proposes revisiting and refining the interfaces used for the analysis and evaluation of urban environmental assessments, with the aim of enhancing their accessibility to a broader audience. A particular emphasis will be placed on the parcel scale, given its importance in urban policy-making, along with a focus on both subsurface and aboveground urban assets. This approach aims to address the multifaceted nature of urban environmental systems more effectively.
