Infrastructure Model Development to Enhance Resilience Against Future Changes Using InfraWorks and GIS

Abstract

The Smart City idea is becoming more popular because cities are getting too crowded. This study looks at how BIM and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) work together. The study focused on infrastructure and figuring out how long a building would last, as early stages of infrastructure development would help the public organization to better plan and design. The GIS mapping shows which areas are more likely to become cities or towns. The AEC industry stakeholders can benefit from mapping to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs). The AEC industry has also been constantly moving towards Building Information Modelling (BIM). In this study, the city of London was considered, and Land Cover predictions from 2000 to 2025 were made. The predicted Map of 2025 would help developers and planning authorities on decision making on housing development. Based on the current study, more research could be extended on how BIM and GIS could work together for urban development.
