The Planning Machine

Simulating the Health Impact of Urban Change

The Planning Machine is a powerful simulation tool designed to empower urban planners and policymakers. It leverages the capabilities of spatial microsimulation, a cutting-edge technique that utilizes a synthetic population. This allows us to examine the potential health impacts of proposed urban planning initiatives on a geographically distributed population.

Unveiling the Hidden Health Effects of Urban Planning:Traditional planning approaches often overlook the potential health consequences of new developments. The Planning Machine bridges this gap by simulating the spatial implications of your plans. By factoring in the relative geographic positions of residents to the proposed changes, the tool generates insights into potential health effects on the community.

Predict health outcomes: Simulate the potential impact of your plans on population health, considering factors like air quality, accessibility to green spaces, and proximity to amenities.

Identify areas of concern: Pinpoint specific locations within your plan that might have unintended health consequences, allowing for targeted mitigation strategies.

Support data-driven planning: Integrate health considerations into the planning process from the very beginning, fostering a more holistic and sustainable approach to urban development.
