CityCAD Overview

What is CityCAD?

CityCAD is a city information modelling solution for urban designers and planners who want to explore, test and communicate development options for large scale mixed-use urban masterplans. Unlike conventional CAD and GIS software, CityCAD was created specifically for urban planning and makes it easy to create 3D models of cities using tried-and-tested street types and urban typologies.
