Abstract

The existing CAAD programs and design applications are not much usefull for designers with urbanistic design activities. Those applications can be utilized in design tasks, but they are not useful means to support the whole design process. To assist the urban designers in their design process, we need new CAD applications capable of providing comprehensive information to the users and supporting the urbanistic design process. To fulfil these requirments we have been working to develop an Urban-CAD program to overcome the limitations of the already existing CAD applications furthermore suit the urbanistic designers needs.
